Getting back into Doom 3 - cfg file recommendation for modern VGA?

[Vario]

I just started getting back into Doom3, I haven't played it in maybe 8 years. Now that I have a 770 2GB +i7, it should be no problem running insane settings in my doom3.cfg. The biggest problem I have had researching these things is a lot of people run sikkmod and other mods that have visual effects I can't stand. I don't like HDR very much. Does anyone have any recommendations for the doom3.cfg or autoexec.cfg file to make it look good with vanilla settings? A lot of recommendations are for very dated graphics cards circa 2004.

Are there any mods that don't alter the lighting so much that it looks like I am on LSD? The biggest thing that bothers me about the older game is the rough looking meshes and textures. I think the vanilla lighting looks fantastic. I also like using a flashlight, the whole point of the game is the flashlight...

Any advice? Might be a long shot since the game is so old...

Doom 3 is one of my all time favorites. I still play it regularly. In fact, I'm playing it right now. I don't use any mods. What appeals to me about the game is the scares and the creepiness. I play it late at night with all the lights off and the volume cranked up.

I don't see how your GTX 770 would struggle at all on max settings even with mods.

It has no problem, I am just trying to figure out what the cfg file can be modified too, I think some of the variables have inter-dependencies so its hard to figure out what will make it look awesome.

Yes I play it the same way, same reason

Did you try the Doom 3 remastered with BFG Edition?

 

[Vario]

Nope just bought the original 3 cd set, I heard the BFG edition was a step back from some reviewers.

I think I figured out a quick way to get 1080p and good settings:

I selected the max settings in the game, applied them, then quit out.

Then I created an autoexec.cfg file with the following contents:

seta r_mode -1
seta r_aspectRatio 1 //(0 = 4:3, 1 = 16:9, 2 = 16:10)
seta r_customHeight 1080 //(Your screen height)
seta r_customWidth 1920 //(Your screen width)
set image_lodbias "-1.0"
seta com_videoRam "2048"
seta r_multiSamples "0" //disabled and using 32xCSAA in nvidia control panel, max AA setting is 8 (recommend 8 for modern system)
seta image_anisotropy "16"
seta com_allowConsole “1"

seta image_useCache "0"
//seta image_cacheMegs "20" //if image_usecache is 0 is 0, then not used, 20 is default
//seta image_cacheMinK "200" //if image_usecache is 0, then not used. 200 is default
seta image_roundDown "0"
seta image_usePrecompressedTextures "0"
seta image_useCompression "0"
seta image_useNormalCompression “0”
seta image_downSizeLimit "0"
seta image_ignoreHighQuality "0"
seta image_downSizeBumpLimit "0"
seta image_downSizeSpecularLimit "0"
seta image_downSizeBump "0"
seta image_downSizeSpecular "0"
seta image_downSize "0"
seta image_forceDownSize "0"
seta image_roundDown "0"
seta image_filter “GL_LINEAR_MIPMAP_LINEAR” //GL_LINEAR_MIPMAP_LINEAR is highest setting (trilinear)
seta sensitivity "8"
seta g_fov "100" //default is 60
seta g_gunX "-1" //positive is further from gun, negative is closer
seta g_gunY "-2" //positive is left side, negative is right side
seta g_gunZ "0" //positive is up, negative is down

Install sikkmod 1.2, its killer

Checkout guru3d sikkmod 1.2 thread. Especially that NiukNiuk all in one pre-modded with sikkmod1.2 and all extra textures pack.

I posted this @ that gurur3d thread once..

a bigger ~280mb pak_modfiles

and these 2 just in case (HQ weapons and phronzo? fx)
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B8PDRPK8eOjRaXprd1daQWx3TzA/edit?usp=sharing


extract both in sikkmod1.2 base dir and overwrite if prompt


my whole game dir.

[Imgur](http://i.imgur.com/wsTfaDB.png)

how it looks like with that cfg above

ROE is more limited, only basic sikkmod stuff from niukniuk pack, cfg sikkmod settings similar like above.


SSAO is experimental can be buggy and big perf hit, dont use SSIL.

Also TrAA - 8xSS will make blurry image, it will remove floor fence shimmer but can loose pixel detail. Imo 2xSS max to get some picture clarity.

 

[Vario]

Hey that does look good. Can I just load my regular saves into the sikkmod folder?

When I tried sikkmod before I couldn't get all the glowing textures and stuff to turn off so I was put off by it. Felt like I was about to have a headache from the HDR intensity!

Here is the niuk niuk package you mentioned, if nothing else for my own future reference:

[TheHunter]

This niuk niuk pack has already unlocked all levels in HQ main menu, when you start a new game you just pick a level and play.


About HDR, i tweaked it so its just right, Im not a fan of overbrighten stuff either.

just overwrite sikkmod cfg part to see if it works for you. I think I nailed this cfg , also SSAO and soft shadows. But they're both off atm, kinda demanding in extreme scenarios, at least for my oc'ed 580gtx.

Still working my way through, just finished Delta Labs. I played this sucker for a few minutes, might have to revisit it once I finish the rest:
http://doom3.filefront.com/file/In_Hell_Directors_Cut;83607

Feels a bit like the classic Doom, but I can't claim much because I only played the original a few times. I had to use the same autoexec.cfg file to make the graphics pop.

 

[TheHunter]

I found some more older screens, sikkmod + very similar config as mentioned above. imo it cant get better then this







no POM, can be very demanding.. Needs at least 670gtx+












Here are 2-3 with POM

I am using lod bias of 1 to smooth the sharp edges, it doesn't change the texture fidelity while it removes the harsh edges between the textures. This greatly improved on things. Otherwise I am using your settings. Thank you for posting them. The stock Sikkmod settings are impossible to look at. I merely downloaded the SikkMod + Wulfen combo pack from ModDB. I will post some pics!

edit: pics don't screenshot well, it looks totally different. I am using f12 to screenshot.

I like BFG edition for its optimizations and tweaks. The only con is, it's easier much easier.

Tnx

btw, I used fraps or MSI afterburners OSD for screenshots


And Transparency AA - 2 or 4x supersampling can remove those harsh edges, but you will lose some detail - blurer image. Maybe also downsample from 2560x1440 to remove any extra shimmering edges.

LODbias 1 will make less texture detail, I would try to keep this at 0.

 

[Vario]

Yes the positive LOD bias reduces the detail but it removed a lot of thin white jagged lines that mostly appeared during movement. With vanilla doom I used a negative LOD bias.

I was playing AC4 Black Flag last night and Doom 3 with the mods looked better than the Geforce Optimized mode for AC4BF.


I ordered a used copy of Resurrection of Evil, can these mod packs be applied to the expansion?

 

[brandonwh64]

I have only beat this game once, I need to get back into it for another round.

Oh its great, makes you wonder what modern shooters are missing. Ironically Doom 3 was panned by critics as not being as good as the originals.

What about the quake game that came out around the time of doom 3? Was it any good since it was just like the doom 3?

Yep Quake 4, I ordered a used copy off eBay as well as Doom 3 and RoE since I lost the originals. Basically Q4 was D3 without flashlight and it had better multiplayer iirc.

Quake IV is a great game too. You can probably pick it up for $5 or $10 on the Steam Summer Sale.

I got these games for only about $8 shipped each off eBay, nice thing is it has no DRM this way. Also you can copy and paste the Doom 3 folder onto any computer and run it without it requiring registry changes so its very easy to modify and move around.

Yes it will work I mentioned ROE in that cfg post, niuk niuk will work as well and sikkmod too Niuk niuk pack has already pre-moded ROE sikkmod folder, just start a new vanilla game so it first makes a base cfg, then you can re-cofing Sikkmod XP cfg.
