A Starter Settings Guide to Dirty Bomb › Roundup and Sources

by adetonian • 4 Jun 2015, 03:11 • Articles

So that is for now all I am able to share with you all. I hope all this give you a basic insight into DB and it's community and you can work your way around and up from there. I might do a future tutorial/article with more advanced info like scripting and more in-game if people ask for it but like I said at the start, most in-game things are very self-explanatory and are learned by simply playing the game. Now for the absolute last part of this piece I will list all my sources and give credits to people. I will include some links that have useful information but that I didn't mention(they will speak for themselves). Remember DB is very tweakable, so back your files up and play around with things and be creative. Especially the HUD file are very interesting if you can figure out how they work so share your creations on Reddit(I'm working on trying to replicate ET's HUD to some degree myself :D.

Summary

Thanks alot adeto!

Nice guide adeto, cheers. If anyone wants to add me (steam: squeekoya)

Parent

thanks :)

u play db???

Parent

a tiny bit so far, you?

Parent

only played it once :3

Parent

Even CS:GO runs better than this shit.

Parent

Could add a page with some VoD's with good matches from competitive tournaments and cups if people are interested? Lemme know.

Uhm yes do that, I have a problem with the config stuff, I dont have unrealengine3 at mygames, theres files for other games but not db..

Parent

Should exist somewhere :p dunno where you hid it.

Parent

I'll try to find it.

Parent

I'm interested.
Everything I know so far, I achieved with just a little google or testing mysself (like the two consoles).
I now want to see where tourneys are being hold, how to enter etc,...
I wish to think i'm doing quite fine in this game. The moment I play with a team, who goes for obj I've never lost so far. And with never, I actually mean never. A little proud of that (keep in mind, I'm still not ranked, so I probably played against lows only). I like this game, it depends a lot on teamplay.

btw: I can't use any commands anymore in console, which I was able to?
I can't use callvoteplayer ID (something similar, I use 'tab' to actually execute the command when writing 'callv') not anymore, nor can I see the listplayers to actually get the id? Can you?

Parent

Lots of functionality(like listplayers and vote commands) are glitcht because the system isn't finished. For now just use F5(unless rebinded) to use the vote system.

Most ET player will have a headstart in DB due to the game being similar in a lot of aspects(mapdesign, aimstyle, movement, timing) but don't overestimate yourself because the skillgap between low+medium and high players is massive and then the gap between high skilled players and the top teams has quite a gap as-well. Most of the better teams only play with full lineups in private servers so you most likely haven't seen them play unless they were soloqueueing :p. And a lot of the good players prefer the Dirty Cupa PUGs that I mentioned in the article.

Took me about 1,5 hours to write this up. Like I said this is all info I already had with a few additions so I only really put it together as no one in DB really put all the little pieces in one place. Some other DB forums/communities asked me if they can link to this post so :p

Parent

Oh and tournaments atm really is only DirtyCups.gg, but it has a 32 team limit atm so the active teams(that played previous cups) get invited first and empty spots get filled quick so its hard to get a spot atm.

Parent

Nice Adeto

Streamer should enable their "past broadcast" feature (Olbaa for example) :)

tl;dr

This is so awesome. I'm in love.

Are people playing this?

According to steam, 9432 players In-Game right now.

Parent

can u answer my question below?

Parent

Hey adeto,

First of all, thanks for making this!
I'm making a team but we're having problems with practising TJ's (people joining the server and shooting us :p)
and coming up with tactics (again no empty servers where we can do our thing without someone joining)

I asked Oxy how the "pro's" do it and he told me "with lots and lots of effort and switchlevel obj_whitechapel".
Can you explain this? cause i have no clue what it means.

Open the console, type switchlevel obj_whitechapel
done.

Alternatively for other maps:
Obj_canarywharf
Obj_bridge
Obj_terminal
Obj_trainyard

Parent

now i understand :p thx!

Parent

Go into the tutorial, wait for the into to be done. Open console and do what Oxy said below ;)

its not currently possible to play alone on a server with friends, there are private servers but you need to be on it with 10 people before the server allows you to start the map.

Parent

thanks!

Parent

it sais "command not recognised" :/

Parent

no slash needed apparantly!

Parent

yea oxy typed the / out of ET habit :P dont have to use / before commands in db

Parent

oke so this + teamviewer it is :p

Parent

That or you can make a random twitch account and do 1 persons pov. :p

Parent

i never streamed before and even tho teamviewer is laggy sometimes i'll just stick to that since it's pretty easy to use.

Parent

Avi voor dat team van je.

Parent

Hahah, wat?

Parent

he said he was available for my team! np, i'll send you the bill.

Parent

He can't afford it. We all know how expensive I am... :(

Parent

MaxParticleVertexMemory
Default for me apparently is: 131972 without ever have touched it.
That's remarkable higher as your default 400...

It changes to how good your PC is, but a clean instal(before launching) should have 400 :p (same goes for MaxFluidNumVerts)

Parent

Good stuff

Thank you!

how many fps do u have?

I can run 240 fps stable with my config

Parent

got i7 5820k + sli gtx 980 and dont have 240 stable :|

Parent

gpu's dont matter for db. what clock is our 5820k running?

Parent

3.6ghz with cpu-z

Parent

Mmm I was running 3.2 on my old cpu and it was pretty horrible. Im running 4.4 on my 4790K right now and no fps issues at all. Its known that UE3 runs best on single core so problem might be there but i cant tell you.

Parent

Problem is, configs don't seem to load (only the resolution part does)
what to do, its on read-only

Sure you have it in the right folder?

Also remember that there are multiple configs for DB, shooterengine/shootergame etc. so some things won't change with certain files.

Parent

well well, jstu copied the shit to the shooterengine.ini

Parent

there are 2 different shooterengine's tho :P one in your steam library and one in your my documents/mygames/unreal smtn smtn

Parent

so you gotta put them on both? so far it's only on documents/mygames/unreal

Parent

if only the /mygames/ one doesn't work you can try replacing both yea. but must be something else going wrong then as it should work perfectly fine if you replace it correctly :p

Parent

had to do it couple of times and its working now

Parent

Spread the free aimbot please.

Input settings tab! :D

Parent

Send yours! Too lazy and don't know what I am doing anymore.

https://www.dropbox.com/s/e3goh2fw4k8cam0/adetoniancfg.zip?dl=0

Parent

Thanks bruh

Parent

I tried your config now m getting 130 FPS earlier i used to get around 180-200 ingame low settings. Do you know why is that?

Parent

my config is specialized for my system, also make sure you have my latest version. can be many things but on most pcs fps is higher

Parent

ok, can you please share the latest one.

Parent

pleaseee the latest? I have 130 too :D

Parent

thanks for the tutorial, its been very helpful so far!

btw downloading an fps config made a big difference for me in fps, even compared to setting everything low in menus and having OneFrameThreadLag=True

OneFrameThreadLag=True makes all the difference. People claim it severely increases input lag, others rumor any and all input lag diminishes if you've got stable 140+, either way, OTL is something to play around with and test for yourself. I've always used it, and.. have noticed very slight, very minimal input lag indeed, but massively prefer it over running the game with ~80fps.

Parent

Good job, Adeto!

The only thing you might want to talk about is Aura's healing station marker requiring (if I remember it correctly):
dynamicDecals=1
FloatingPointRenderTargets=True

~ Ahli

Great work!

You should mention that the F10 bind must be placed under

[Configuration]

[ShooterGame.SGPlayerInputPawn]

in shooterinput.ini
Some people (like me) might fail to find it the first time

added just in case :p

Parent

for a bit more FPS change this in the ShooterEngine.ini

MinMagFilter=Aniso

to

MinMagFilter=Point

you can also try to use LINEAR instead off POINT

Assuming this is the same as 'r_texture_mode gl_linear_mipmap" type commands from ET? (havent played around with the command u said so explain plx)

edit: looked up the command, it seems to be related to the texturegroup commands and a lot of those are locked/force since the last couple of patches. You sure it effects things a lot or placebo? :P

Parent

yea it will look like Minecraft. i use some of the texturegroup with the LINEAR Command (like Skybox, Weapons) and i have no Problems with it.

i tried to play with it (all to Linear) but i couldn't hit anything with hit dunno if it was me or Magic.. i never saw any restrictions in the Patchnotes which should be there if they force Values in CFG.

btw i saw outc1der changing the mipmap(?) levels ingame, is that some new cmd?

Parent

They did it in the background but it's what stopped things like the full potato rivatuner configs ;) I changed all my minMagfilters to linear and I saw very little difference(though this could be cuz im forcing bilinear already in my GPU Drivers).

outc1der is using command called 'SetMaxMipLevel [0-16] pretty much forces a max lod value. which makes things look a lot more like the potato configs again.

Parent

Nice guide!

is there any way to get a green crosshair dot? i don't like the crosshair the game came with, i looked in settings and could see a dot but its white and very small i want a bigger green dot. also thanks for posting this adeto its very helpful

change it via the menu when you are ingame. You get RGB and 3 possible sizes (more options in the ingame menu than in the homepage menu outside of the game)

Parent

Oh ya, i didnt notice the ingame menu had this. Thanks for the help. :)

Parent

I need a config that clears unnecessary hud stuff, fps is not a problem for me even at 1080p.. and that shows enemy clearly. Any suggestions?

thanks adeto, helped me a lot

i'd like to play this game with oneframethreadlag turned off @ around 150fps stable. Anyone knows if an i5 4690k would do?

overclocked probably
ive got a 4460 and cant get stable fps

Parent

Late reply but shouldn't be a problem whatsoever. I've capped mine at 154 with a 6600k.

Parent

nice game!

Did this work? change it via the menu when you are ingame. You get RGB and 3 possible sizes (more options in the ingame menu than in the homepage menu outside of the game)

Does anyone know if an i5 4690k would do? Fort Worth Texas Interior painting contractor
