Need help configuring DarkRadiant - Dark Mod 2.0


Recommended Posts

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.

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.

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.

Please visit TDM's IndieDB site and help promote the mod:

(Yeah, shameless promotion... but traffic is traffic folks...)

      Finally got my PC back from the shop after my SSD got corrupted a week ago and damaged my motherboard. Scary stuff, but thank goodness it happened right after two months of FM development instead of wiping all my work before I could release it. New SSD, repaired Motherboard and BIOS, and we're ready to start working on my second FM with some added version control in the cloud just to be safe!

      I've updated the articles for your FMs and your author category at the wiki. Your newer nickname (DeTeEff) now comes first, and the one in parentheses is your older nickname (Fieldmedic). Just to avoid confusing people who played your FMs years ago and remember your older nickname. I've added a wiki article for your latest FM, Who Watches the Watcher?, as part of my current updating efforts. Unless I overlooked something, you have five different FMs so far.

      I've finally managed to log in to The Dark Mod Wiki. I'm back in the saddle and before the holidays start in full, I'll be adding a few new FM articles and doing other updates. Written in Stone is already done.

      You cannot receive PMs. Could you please be so kind and check your mailbox if it is full (or maybe you switched off the function)?
