Hi, is necessary start a new game if i have your mod v. 2.0.3 and update to 2.1? Or simply remove old UltimateHD directory and copy new UltimateHD and files from 2.1 and continue in current game? Thank for your work - perfect mod.
Bug report: Please fix new version 2.1 on Windows 7 64 bit. After updating to the newest version mod from 2.0.3 i get error with missing XINPUT1_4.dll. If i dowload and put this file to the correct folder, still get another error and game not started. I tried on clean instalation Doom 3 BFG edition of course. Sorry for my bad english. Thanks.
Specification: second error is: 0xc000007b Application Error. V. 2.0.3. work fine and correctly, donť understand why not 2.1 :(
Hmm, XInput seems to be an OS API for the XBox Controller. I would guess that this is an system issue but otherwise you mentioned that 2.0.3 worked fine. I dont have Win7 anymore so i can't check it (at least it runs fine on Win10 x64). For testing purpose please start the RBDOOM3BFG.EXE without any parameter and check if you get the same error.
If you still have the v2.0.3 7z Package you can also extract the old RBDOOM3BFG.EXE and replace the v2.1.0 one as workaround. ATM you're the only one reporting this problem.
Thanks, with old RBDOOM3BFG.exe from 2.0.3 game works fine without any errors.
"Armor damage absorption 50%"
What does this mean?
Please tell me it doesn't mean you made it twice as useless, cause it already did almost nothing.
I would never die with less than 80 armor.
for unknown reason the default armor protection in the base game was 0.2 => 20%.
The cvar game defaults should be 0.3 => 30%
The 50% in the changelog was a mistake (i tied around with 50% but it was a bit to high for my likings so i decided to change it back to 0.3 for ultimate)
Anyway, you can set your prefered amount in the autoexec.cfg in @UltimateHD
I corrected the changelog now.
From the very first time I played Doom 3 I was shocked at how little the armour did to protect you.
For me personally 30% is the absolute minimum it could be to have any point at all in the game.
I mean what's the point in having 125 armour if you can never realistically drop below 70? Strange...
So just to clarify, the armour behaves the same now as it did in v2.0.3, right?
yes, should be the same as in 2.0.3 if you didn't change it with the cvar g_armorProtection.
However, i wanted an easy accessible option to change the armor behavior. So if you prefer more armor protection, you can change it in the config file at ..\@UltimateHD\autoexec.cfg
Those settings will always be forced at startup.
I do think it could be a little higher than 30% if I'm being honest,
given that there's even more armour than health in the game, *and* you have a higher maximum, and it never really gets used.
Even on the higher difficulties, you're just drowning in armour at all times, you're never really getting more than 10 from any armour vest, if you can pick it up at all.
I know I could just tweak it myself in the autoexec, buuut, when I start messing with it myself, it feels a little too much like cheating. I know it's being picky.
Maybe if you think it'd be too easy or something, you could bump up enemy damage a bit to balance out the 40-50% absorption.
Another thing I wanted to mention, was that with the faster speed of the imps, etc., the way they walk is kinda ridiculous. They should speed pretty much directly towards you, not weave at you from side to side like a drunk on fast-forward :)
Can´t load lab alfa sector 2 :(
run "_remove generated files.bat" in @UltimateHD, i guess it's a collision data error in the generated files. Don't know why this never happens to me, i ran the whole campaign without any errors :-/
