Problems starting Tremulous
« on: June 19, 2008, 04:20:28 pm »
I was playing tremulous, and I was changing the resolution options. I put the resolution too high, and it messed up the game. It said that the game could not run at the current resolution. The problem is, I don't know how to change the resolution back to default. I tried reinstalling it, but it still didn't work. Now, when I open the game, all it does is send me an error message, so I can't even change the resolution back. How do I change the resolution so I can play the game again?

Start it from the command like with +set r_mode 4

It says "Windows cannot find +set....". Is there a way to change the game to default settings without opening it?

In your "base" folder you will find a file called "autogen.cfg". Delete or rename it. On the next start tremulous will generate a new one with the default settings.

Where does the game store the tremulous folder? I can't find it.

tremulous.exe +set r_mode 4

You tried to start a programm called "set" which of course does not exist.

qryan11: run tremulous from within a console and post the output here. Some additional info about your Operating System, graphic card etc would help too.

1. Click Start
2. Type 'cmd' and press enter. A small window pops up: the  MS-DOS shell aka  DOS prompt
3. Type 'tremulous" into that MS-DOS shell and press enter
4. After the game crashes or shuts down, copy the complete content of the MS-DOS shell and post it here. This could be a pretty long list.

Hope i gave a proper description. I'm not a windows user  :P

5. And what kind of graphic card are you using?

Install the drivers for your graphics card.

One would go to the website of the manufacturer and select the appropriate driver package.

f.e.

http://www.amd.com
http://www.nvidia.com
http://intel.com

etc...

Dunno what Glide is, but it looks you have to install it.

To set the resolution:
Code: [Select]
<PATH_TO_TREMULOUS.EXE> +set r_mode 4

If it fails again, try setting r_mode lower.

Glide isn't needed, its some legacy crap from q3.
