Doom3world

Dante_uk has ported santaclaws bloom to v1.3 for his "omnibus" mod. Perhaps you could ask him to help you out there?

Is it really necessary to put the entire mod on hold because you can't get a bloom shader working the way you want? Couldn't you simply leave it out in the initial release and then once you have it working, re-integrate it back into the mod with an update?

I remember reading some posts that Cryect made ages ago saying that there are some severe limitations Doom 3 has when dealing with gl programs.

I can't remember the details as gl programs are beyond my abilities.

Anyway, I'm pretty sure it's those limitations that are keeping the scene quiet.

I tried but I can't find the relevant thread.

It's hard to say just by looking at it. Have you tried stepping through the code to see if it's actually running your code every frame? Place a breakpoint inside the function (F9) and start the game with F5 to launch the debugger.

5.56mm Full Metal Jacket (beta version 0.43)

IMPORTANT ISSUES:

1. WHEN YOU ARE ASKED TO UPDATE TO VERSION 1.3 CLICK NO !!! DO NOT CLICK YES !!!

2. When looking for 556mmfmj-servers make sure to set the game type you are looking for to "ANY", otherwise they
won't be displayed......

3. "client unkown to auth" error message when connecting to a 556mmfmj-server:

If you get such an error message on connect, simply delete your "doomkey" file located
in your "base" and "556mmfmj" folder, reconnect to the server and reenter your cd key on demand..... I don't know
why this happens but that procedure solves the problem......

4. Since this is a beta version please DO NOT change the graphic-settings since alot of dds file are missing, resulting
in a bad quality image when reducing the settings.....

5. To run a dedicated server simply type the following 2 commands in the console: "net_dedicatedserver 1" and
"servermaprestart"

GAMEPLAY

"desert_plateau":

This map scenario takes place on a small mountain plateau where each side spawns inside an aged bunker. Make sure to not
let the enemy infiltrate your base.... oh and take a look at the top of the plateau... you might like what you finde there
The huge trees give excellent cover in case you get ambushed from an unknown direction......

"desert_delta":

This map scenario takes place in a very hot and dry desert valley where each side spawns inside an abandoned desert village.
There are several ways to reach the enemy base and plenty of space for hot desert fights.... The desert trees are smaller
than the plateau trees but still server well for cover.... also the village itself leaves plenty of possibilities open to
ambush the enemy from a position he doesn't expect

"desert_valley_night":

This map scenario is basically the same setup as the "desert_delta" but takes place during the night... so stealth tactics
get even more important since the enemy can see your gunfire from the far distance..... It is curious how the village and
landscape changes its flair while everything lights up almost surreal in the moonlight......

"ammo_docks":
This map scenario takes place in a huge military harbour where ships in the background are busy with loading and unloading
their cargo. Once in a while an F-16 Fighter Jet is flying over the whole scenario trying to recon the area for the reported
intruders.... This map offers execellent close combat fighting where almost everything in the harbour serves as cover from
the containers to the cargo boxes.....

Features

- 6 different weapons, 3 per side
- Realistic bullet-ballistic (real modelled projectiles are fired and react physically correct while getting dragged down
by gravity as they proceed flying through the landscape)
- Headshots that are deadly with any weapon from any distance
- Really huge outdoor environments that are lit with a global lighting system
- 6 players (3vs3) support (can be increased if necessary)
- A BloomShader which creates a breathtaking HDR like look and makes the Landscaps look more realistic

The Idea Behind it:

I always wanted to create a shooter that combines the awesome looking graphics of Doom³ with a more tactical game play.
I hope I will succeed in melting those two things together and enrich the Doom3Community with a Mod that hopefully will
find his lovers

Hmmmm... the rar file appears to be buggered. Won't install

Has a linux binary been compiled?

You may put this on your website for download, but only if non-subscribers can also download it.

Looks like great work man. Is the link is broken? I can't connect.

Seems like there is more demand than bandwidth available .... I am building up mirrors as we speak.... so anyone who is able to host the file on a mirror please contact me........
