I'm looking for a little feedback please.


I just installed Decal Alpha 3 for AC:ToD for the first time. I followed the instructions posted here:


http://forums.acdev.org/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=3445


I just want to know from people who have been running Decal 3 for a while now if it looks like I missed anything in my installation before I start installing and loading plugins.


Thanks

Just a heads up...


With only 64mb of video memory you may have trouble running plugins with a lot of huds. If you start crashing a lot, that could be the reason.

Thanks, I noticed that one of the recommended requirements was 128 Mb. I figured I would try anyways. So far I'm succeeding. I'll just keep my plugins to a minimum.

 

-----signature-----

I noticed this in my export:


Surrogates, -1, Version 1 Plugin Surrogate, 2.9.4.0


In Decal it has a Red "X" in the checkbox. Is this something I need to worry about? Decal is running fine for me.

 

-----signature-----

That feature is permanently disabled as Version 1 plugins are no longer supported.

Thanks Wolf!

 

-----signature-----

you do realize they are up to version 2.9.4.0 or alpha 6 and the memlocs for those WON"T work with version alpah 3.


go here: http://acheaven.buwahaha.com/ to get pointer/links to the updated versions.


and as mentioned if you running a lot of huds turn em off and you may be able to run with 64MB of memory.

He does have it


Decal (DenAgent.exe) version: 2.9.4.0
