This pack of scripts performs the following things:

It enables Dual Core support for your processor (Only works if you have a dual core processor obviously), fixes the screenshots so they don't show up black (make the screenshots JPEGs too, not TGA) and makes it so you can alt-tab in and out of the game without the game crashing.

Advantages

  • Raises Framerates substantially by enabling Dual Core Support for DOD Source
  • Fixes the Black Screenshot glitch with Dual Core Support enabled and makes them JPEG format instead of TGA format
  • Enables you to Alt-Tab / Minimize the game with ease without crashing the game

  • Fixes your default (Dial-up) rates to the recommended Broadband rates, vastly improving hitbox registration.

    How it works

    Using a combination of 3 configuration files it's setup simply as so.

    Rates - Sets a few console commands to the Recommended rates for Broadband internet (the default ones are complete garbage) and you will see a vast improvement in shot registration and lag.

    The Screenshot Problem - Autoexec fixes the screenshot problem, by setting mat_queue_mode to -1 (default), then takes the screenshot, and then instantly after wards setting mat_queue_mode to 2 (Dual Core Optimization). Thus keeping dual core support enabled and your screenshots come out crystal clear. You may experience a slight FPS drop when you hit F5, but only for like 3ms.

    Dual Core Support - Enables a few Console commands to run the game on both Cores of your processor more efficiently. Your CPU may run a little hotter, but only by a degree or so.

    Alt-Tabbing Problem - The instant you press Alt to alt-tab the mat_queue_mode is set to -1 and remains there. When you're done with your business and alt-tab back in, the mat_queue_mode will still be set to -1. PLEASE READ!!!!!!! ---> So to enable your Dual Core support again you must hit the "." or the "del" key on your keypad. You must do this everytime you alt-tab unless you wish to continue without the dual core support.

    Basically when you alt-tab a certain dual core command is defaulted to single-core (preventing the crash) and when you alt-tab back in, you must re-enable the dual core support by hitting the kp_del key.


    Instructions

    Place all files into the CFG folder in your ACCOUNT\day of defeat source\dod directory. If you alt tab, remember to hit the "." or "del" key when resuming the game to re-enable the dual core support. If you wish to change the dual core enable key to something else, feel free to do so in the auto exec. It's under the "bind kp_del "exec dual_core_support"" line. Change the 'kp_del' key to what ever key you'd like to use.

    Ya changing that to 4 helps a ton but don't notice between the 4 and nothing at all... fps is about the same. Note to all quad core people 2 will make your game choppy as hell... great item though

    I'm going to give this a 10 because I cant find anything wrong with it :)

    Also did you make the alt tab tweak, that does not mess up your game when you tab out ?

    Just a thought as well, if I was you I would add this to the source section... because all these tweaks apply to every game using the new engine... Including TF2 !!

    Anyway one again, well done... this is really cool :)
    And thanks for the credits


    Yeah I made the alt-tab tweak myself.

    I was going to add this to the source section or atleast the TF2 Section, BUT when testing this in HL2: Episode 2 and TF2, I experienced choppiness in game quite often (not fps lag, my fps would be at like 80)..

    Thank you for the 10/10, glad you like it :D

    Hyper threading is kind of dual core so I hope this will help, nay?


    You could try.

    Just so you're aware, config scripts or fps tweaks aren't allowed to be submitted.


    errr why not? these don't enhance your ability to get kills in anyway, it provides dual core support for better FPS and fixes your rates from Dial-Up to Broadband..
