Need help configuring DarkRadiant - Dark Mod 2.0

[Bridge]

Hello,

 

I'm not quite sure how to set up the editor and the tutorials I've found are vague at best. When I start up DR I get a window prompting me to select the game I want to map for and so on but there is no "Dark Mod" option. I realize that before 2.0 the Dark Mod was a Doom 3 mod so it would make sense to select Doom 3 as the game, point to its engine and the darkmod folder as the mod. However, now it's a standalone game and I'm not sure what to do since it seems to insist on the Dark Mod being a mod (when I point to darkmod (which I've installed in C:/) as the engine path it seems to want to create a darkmod directory within that). Furthermore, I cannot open the PK4 files in the level editor and it only seems to accept MAP files. I assume that the PK4 files can actually be opened in the editor and are not just the compiled maps. In any case, I am lost and would appreciate some help. I am of course using the latest version (1.8).

 

Thanks in advance.

Try this thread as a starting point:

Dark Radiant only understands *.map files. It won't open a *.pk4 file.

 

As far as it's concerned, 'game' still needs to be Doom3, even though TDM no longer needs Doom3. DR hasn't been updated to reflect the standalone-ness of TDM 2.00.

 

If you try the settings described in the thread referenced in the previous note, you should be fine.

I probably should have searched the forums more extensively. Thanks to both of you.

No problem. Feel free to ask away.

 

The only red flag around here is opening a Dark Mod \ Dark Radiant bug at the bugtracker site without first consulting the forums to verify.
