Is hud+weapon bobbing variable? +attract mode/demo question

ThePenciler

Is there a way to make it a little less severe? Right now it feels like I'm going over little hills as I walk. I've played Doom and Doom 2 so far so these are the games I notice it in. I seem to remember there was a way to turn it off. I could be wrong. But I don't want to turn it off completely, just tone it down a little.

Also is there a way to turn the attract mode/demo back on? Like with the retail versions, at the title screens it would eventually go to an automatic demo of game play if nothing was done. Not a pressing issue, just curious. Always wondered why it didn't do that anymore.

The console variable "view-bob-height" determines how high the view bobbing goes. Open the console and type, e.g, "view-bob-height 0.5".

Demo recording & playback has been broken for a while now, that's why there's no intro demo.

I hate to bring up an old thread, but oh I had a fun idea. I assume this will be fixed in Beta 7 or shortly before/after, eh it doesn't matter. When it's fixed, you guys could start a competition for "the best demo(s)" that could be included in the future all-in-one Resource Pack. You know, for something really fancy that shows off Doomsday to the power of max-awesome.

I like your idea. Specially since I'm planning to do a LP of Hexen (like if there weren't enough already...) and my port of choice is Doomsday.

You know, weapon and camera bobbing might be cool as menu options. Though I'm not sure what menu's I would put them under (maybe "hud").

Raising/lowering them is something IIRC, quite a few users have asked about over the years. It's one of the most commonly given out console commands for lack of better description.

weapon bob, yeah it is haha.

Hmm i look forward to camera bob extensions in the post Deng2 developments, AFAIK its not planned but i always hoped Doomsday would have similar capability in damage recoil much like doom 3 or even quake 3; i.e. Getting smacked around when blasted in the face with a shotgun. Of course its a far off thing as its not standard doom behavior, but something interesting to think about. A good way to show-off shader model 2.0 capabilities (the blur/unfocused vision effect).

Myself I hate being smacked like this as if being hurt isn't enough.

Sorry to revive this thread a bit but I would like to add, if the option is there as a default? make it so it is disable for deathmatch.
I could see it causing problems for DM play.
Thanks!

Oh and Happy Halloween.
