Dark Radiant Install

Recommended Posts

Installed the C++2008 thingy and followed the instructions below:

 

 

Windows

  1. Download the DarkRadiant installer (it's the .exe file) from Sourceforge: http://sourceforge.net/projects/darkradiant
  2. Run the installer and follow the instructions until it finishes.
  3. Start up DarkRadiant via the Start menu.
  4. If an "Engine Path Not Found" dialog appears, choose the path to your Doom 3 installation. For example, c:\Games\Doom3. Then click Button_ok.png.
  5. DarkRadiant should now start up. Try loading a Dark Mod map to see if it's working.
  6. You're done!

my doom is in D:\Doom3 and I clicked OK, but I get the "close program, find a solution" window and that's it... Please help :)

(Not on my machine, In Europé, but it works excellent )

What did you put in for fs_game? You should put in Thiefs_den or Saint_lucia depending on what demo assets you're using

 

Also, if it keeps crashing when you open DR, and you can't do anything but close out, go to c:\Users\your username\AppData\Roaming\DarkRadiant and delete user.xml

I installed The Den, but I'm going to try deleting that user.xml file...now. Thanks for the help...

 

Shoot there is no file by that name, only a darkradiant.log & darkradiant.pid :(

What exactly are you trying to install?

 

For the "Thief's Den" release, use these instructions: http://wiki.thedarkmod.com/index.php/...en#Installation

 

For the "Saint Lucia" release, use these instructions: http://wiki.thedarkmod.com/index.php/...ia#Installation

 

For DarkRadiant (the level editor, equivalent to DromEd), use these instructions: http://wiki.thedarkmod.com/index.php/...tallation_Guide

Heh, okay. Let us know if you have any more problems. Apart from the inn problem. ;)

 

(I think the word you're looking for is spelled "knackered", by the way.)

I thought "nakkeret" is Danish for "empty pockets and empty brain" :laugh:

If you don't have Thiefs Den or Saint Lucia installed, then you don't put anything in the fs_game section, because you don't have darkmod installed...so there is no mod directory for dark radiant to access. Once you install Thiefs Den or Saint Lucia, you will type the directory name that the mission is installed. Either Thiefs Den or Saint Lucia....which ever one you install. You have to type it exactly as it is spelled in the mission folder.

 

You would only be typing darkmod if you actually had the full darkmod repository.

Yup, that should be right. As long as your saintlucia folder is all lower case too, that should do it.

Can you post a screen shot of your folder structure so we can make sure everything is in the right place?

Hmm - saintlucia looks like it's in the right place. The only odd thing I can see there is that you've put DarkRadiant inside the Doom 3 folder. I don't know why that would be an issue, but it is unusual. Maybe try uninstalling DarkRadiant and then reinstall it somewhere outside the Doom 3 folder?

      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)?

      I like the new frob highlight but it would nice if it was less "flickery" while moving over objects (especially barred metal doors).
