stupid question

[Johnatone]

congestion control 2 looks sweet. can't wait to get out of school. anyway, i read the review, then i looked at the screenshots (which i'm posting here) and they look really, really nice. i'm not talking about the level, i'm talking the graphics. so my question is this: which source port do i use to get these killer graphics? or is it a graphics card kinda thing? yes, i know it's a stupid question.

Try something like JDoom or ZDoomGL.

It's Legacy. No other port has such an ugly crosshair :)

Hey we're supposed to give him help, not hint stuff that might lead him to destruction.

I also think it's Legacy.

i just checked the sourceports page, jdoom said i need a video card or direct x - can i have one or the other and still make it work ('cause this 98 compaq laptop doesn't have a video card)

[Fredrik]

It doesn't have a video card? Not even integrated?

[Johnatone]

if you mean like ones used to run games like kingpin (genforces and stuff) no. hell, even gta2 for pc won't run 'cause i don't have one.

[Fredrik]

I suppose you could try running in software mode if you're desperate... I know JDoom worked for me on an older computer in software mode... 16-bit, with lots of graphical glitches and in 10 fps.

[Johnatone]

heh, well, i'm installing it now so i'll get back to you on whether it worked or not. if i don't reply by next week, it means i smashed my laptop in a fit of anger

[Johnatone]

well, it worked. it's just a matter of making it not lag so damn much.

[sirjuddington]

Heh, the only way to fix that is to get a video card ;)

Oh and those screenshots are taken in JDoom. I can tell by the flares and that crappy crosshair (looks like shit if you put it that big, I usually have it the smallest).

Use ZDoomGL, anyway ;)

[DooMBoy]

Legacy, heh.

[Cyb]

yes those are jdoom screenshots

[sargebaldy]

yeah legacy doesn't have those terrible lens flares.

I played in jDoom when I downloaded it, and the graphics look like this.
