ati tweak just came in guaranteed atleast 25% increase if not 40% increase, seen wit my own 2 eyes my friends 9700pro was getting 37 fps avg, tweak shot it up to 54 avg same settings, heres how:
go into doom3/base folder, look for pak000.pk4, open that up wit winrar, now look for a subfolder named glprogs, go into it, look for the file name interaction.vfp now wat u gotta do is edit it, i suggest u extract to somewhere, edit it, and then add the new edited file back into pk4 file u opened wit winrar overwriting the old one wit the newly edited one, here's how:
1) open the interaction.vfp with notepad or wordpad
2) scroll down and find
Quote:
PARAM subOne = { -1, -1, -1, -1 };
PARAM scaleTwo = { 2, 2, 2, 2 };
3) now rite below it add the line:
Quote:
PARAM specExp = { 16, 0, 0, 0 };
4) it should like this:
Quote:
PARAM subOne = { -1, -1, -1, -1 };
PARAM scaleTwo = { 2, 2, 2, 2 };
PARAM specExp = { 16, 0, 0, 0 };
5) now scroll down some more to find this:
Quote:
# perform a dependent table read for the specular falloff
TEX R1, specular, texture[6], 2D;
6) change it so it reads this:
Quote:
# perform a dependent table read for the specular falloff
# TEX R1, specular, texture[6], 2D;
POW R1, specular.x, specExp.x;
7) save the file, and then add it back into the glprogs subdirectory and overwrite the old one, start the game and enjoy
remember, this is an ATI tweak only, it slowed mine down by 2 fps in timedemo cuz i own an nvidia (5200). hope this helps, oh and if u can't for some reason get winrar to add the file and save (it freezes up), then gimme a good place to host a tweak file which emulates the steps above (it's a rar file and it contains the edited interaction.vfp file which in a folder called glprogs which extracts into the base folder of doom3), for those that want this file, tell me a good hosting site and i'll upload ASAP.
