I have to agree with Tj. Perfected Doom3 looks horrible compared to what I can achieve with vanilla Sikkmod v1.2 + Wulfen v2.0 + monoxead + custom config.

actually perfected doom uses sikkmod 1.2 and wulfen and monoxead + enhanced versions of those and much more gameplay additions so its the same just better , its only that the custom config menu for sikkmod is gone thats why it looks the way it does as depicted by -tj- , you should actually play it before admitting to something you havent tested yourself yet

anyhow ...

thanks for the testing -tj-, im gona pm vgames asap and ask him about that , im sure he can add sikkmods 1.2 config menu in or if its already there , just unlock it or something, afterall it does use sikkmod 1.2 , his mod is so much more than just what niukniuk released trust me guys , if youve played it youd know , not just testing the graphics config menu , anyhow stay tuned ive just zapped him a pm

thanks

I have downloaded and tried Perfected Doom. Thank you. I don't like cookie-cutter approach of it but to each their own I guess.

Yes i know its using Sikkmod 1.2, i checked cfg and noticed it.

What he provided in advanced gfx menu is to little, he forced POM on, HDR/bloom with his own cfg with almost no control over it. Color grading just on/off again no control over it.

I could have adjusted sikkmod parameters in txt cfg but what's the point, sikkmod 1.2 can do that ingame.

The only thing that's better then niukniuk pack is his texture pack, it uses few more enhanced textures (~20mb more) and custom song in main menu.

Other then that its exactly the same. Just more "user friendly" when it comes to installing it.

is perfected doom 3 mod part of sikkmod?

if not a seperate thread should be created

i guess you could say it is as much a part of sikkmod as niukniuks mod

, btw just got a reply from vgames and he asked me why id like to have all the custom configs back that the original sikkmod menu , had , well ive told him id like to be able to completely fine tune the graphics myself ingame, lets see if he adds it back in , that would be awesome ,

hey -tj- would you be able to create as real and high quality config as possible for me , id love that , since i see youve got some talent there, and ive tried in the past and failed hard

update:

ok so he said he wont unlock the ingame graphics customization options, and said if you want to change em use the autoconfig.cfg , so anyone up to releasing theyre perfected doom config , id like that

thanks a bunch bro , hell i bed damned not to get this mod tweaked to perfection , perfected doom ,lols, thou id asume you mean my perfecteddoom folder in my situation , ill just add whats not there in the autexec and doomconfig.cfg from your suggestions, and ill add 2048 for vram since ive got 4gb and need some for the background programs running , about filmgrain well not sure if its worth anything but ill check it out, and id recommend to set seta r_multiSamples 2 to 16 , dont you think , better quality

shall give it a shot

, btw 98 fov , damn thats abit fisheye wouldnt you say , i thought 75 is the perfect balance for 1080p

I cant use more then 2xaa or im hitting gpu/vram wall quick xD

Nah fov is ok though.. Doom3 doesnt have this fisheye view, well i didnt notice it

About other commands the best thing would be to open his CFG and then change its parameters, its a bit time consuming but this way you'll be sure there are no conflicts.

thats what i did , just gotta do some fine tuning , your right its freakin horribly bright and textures got rainbow coloured spots i asume due to overbrightening or something, if you have any other recommended tweaks do tell , anything that will make the game look better i got the hardware for it

i set doom3 profile to fxaa enabled and 16csaa enhance application

Well the best thing would be to use niukniuk sikkmod MOD and then use perfected doom extra textures (joint wulfen mono pack with his - overwrite extra), that's what i did in the end + that config (my settings).

I tweaked that config a lot and really that's the best as it gets imo, lights have small lens flare effect, not to overbright or overcolored just perfect, HDR also just the right color with colorgrading MATH 3 or LUT 3, but i nocted with LUT 3 +CG sharpness at 1.6 is a little to sharp (1.4 is about right)

EDIT: this is how it looks like in digsite 1 (small noise is because of filmgrain)
