Installation:
To install TDC Beta 0.91 simply place the files
from the zip in your conjunction directory.
*TDC beta 0.91 no longer needs to be run with +set sv_pure
0. This means you can launch TDC from the Quake 3 mod menu.
**TDC beta 0.91 is compatible with Quake 3 versions 1.30 and 1.31
Beta 0.91 new features and bug fixes:
What´s new in 0.91 - Save/load added (only the beggining of the level) - New Hulk Attack! - TDC introduction story What's fixed in 0.91 - Improved NPCs aiming code. - Fixed 95% bug of NPC's being confused in front of doors - Double Metlar jump fixed - Q3 logo removed - Fixed doors being opened when shot - Medkits give different amount of health depending on the game difficulty - Fixed bug of ank firing despite making pain animation - Fixed rotating doors bug - Now TDC can be run from Q3 MOD Menu (but you wont see our beautiful logo)
The Dark Conjunction is a true Q3 Single-Player Total Conversion. TDC boosts real NPCs (non-playable-characters) instead of computer controlled bots. Unlike Quake 3, the levels are linear, with clear starting points and ending points.
The game's ambient is a fusion between fantasy and apocalyptic reality. The mod has a strong focus on the story, which unfolds as the player progresses through the game. As the mod continues to grow, more of the story will be revealed.
The menu is similar to the Quake 3 Arena menu. Some important notes about new options in the menu:
1) You can save through the ingame menu (press 'Esc') and load from both the main and ingame menus. If you do not name the save the progress will be recorded to the autosave file. Note that the saving option will only save the player's initial status of the map being played. When loading you will always start from the beggining of the level.
2) From the system setup menu you can now enable/disable the following options from the Quake 3 config file:
- Compress textures (r_ext_compressed_textures in the Q3 config):
Set this to 0 to disable texture
compression support (slower, but better visuals). Texture compression can vastly
improve frame rates, although may cause some visual degradation in certain areas
of the game.
- Round images down (r_roundImagesDown in the Q3 config):
Set this to 0 to disable texture smoothing. This option smoothes and
rounds textures when they need to be resized producing slightly inferior
visuals.
*** With the "round images down" disabled we experienced significant improvement of texture quality in large textures of md3 models. (TDC has many textures larger than 256*256 applied to md3 monsters or objects. These particular textures were mostly affected by the change).
