Mortem Desino, My Doom box just says Doom3, nothing else that I see where there could be listed steam or whatever. Thank you for taking the time to answer, it is very helpful - I'll be working on it! Thanks again

Hi, Even though I've done this once, on another computer months ago, having problems now - was something changed on the WIKI page? Windows users You'll need to install the Doom 3 patch 1.3.1 and copy the DevIL.dll (shipped with Darkmod) library to your C:\Windows\system32 folder otherwise D3 will crash. I downloaded DOOM3 I can play Doom I do not find the DevIL.dll anywhere. At first I thought it came with the patch, but that is not the case - I even did a search on it, nothing was found. I do not see it in files associated with the doom.exe which came from the game In order to install The Dark Mod, you need to have the v1.3.1 patch for Doom 3 installed. See the download section below for links. Make sure that the install path for Doom 3: does not contain any blanks (e.g. C:/doom3 is ok, C:/Program files/Doom3 is not) is in all lowercase (e.g. /usr/local/lib/doom3 is ok, /home/username/MyDoom is not) Once downloaded do I "run" the patch? when I do, a window opens up and at the bottom after some lines are written I get an error. Where is the blank that is mentioned? Does this mean Doom3 cannot be put in "Program Files" as "Program Files" is the "blank" between C:/ and Doom3? I have Doom3 in a folder called Doomgame in C:/ Install on Windows Download the DarkMod package, see below. What is the package? is it the patch? There is nothing else at "see below". except for link for Linux runners, and their patch. I never got the command/shortcut to lucia to work. Just linked to the game through doom3 main screen - I beleive I have to do all of the above successfully before I download dark radiant... Thanks!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks, I am definetely learning a lot. THere are so many computers out there, it is almost overwhelming. Cant afford too much for a computer, this one is at my limit at $200.00. But now that I know this is suitable, I can search for a cheaper one. Plus with what was said above, I can make even a better descision. Everyone, thanks for your patience with this! If anyone wants to add anymore, I'll be watching this thread U and here is one WITHOUT an OS, http://cgi.ebay.com/Dell-Dimension-9100-De...1QQcmdZViewItem though it does have a OS key - I dont get that. I guess if I were to get this, I would have to pay ~ $50.00 for and OS....

So sorry to bother you about this but was wondering about this card ATI Radeon X850XT From what I read it seems as if the card takes a AGP slot, but I thought the same name card can apply to different type slots. THe computer I'm looking at is a used dell 9100, 2.8 GHz Intel4 processor; Bus speed 800MHz, RAM 1 GB ( 4GB max),above card - and here is what I think you are saying is most important: as said.. "Expansion slots: 4 Memory, 3 PCI, 1 PCI Express x1, 1 PCI Express x 16,1" - though I am not sure what the "x16, 1" means. I'm a biologist, what can I say! : ) My 15 year old daughter is wanting to do a project this summer while out of school; she loves Theif, and has been fooling around with Dromed, but just begining. I was thinking with the development of the DarkMod, it may be good for her to start trying to learn that, with the tutoring available online. Got the Doom3 game, so just need to get an extra computer. Dont want to put some money out for one, where it cant work the game. Thanks again

Thanks so much guys, I'm pointed in the right direction now, - will avoid INTEL! Thanks again U

Hi, Am looking to get a new computer, not the newest as I can only afford so much, but am wanting a computer that will be able to run the darkmod, which means it needs to run Doom3 I guess. One of the computers I'm looking at has this as video NVIDIA GeForce 6100 and nForce 430 MCP I'm kinda ignorant about this stuff and did not see this geoforce on the side of the Doom3 box. OS is Vista Home Premium Others are: Graphics: Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 950 Graphics Card PNY Geforce FX 5500 (PCI) Hate to bother you about this, but sure could help me. Hate to put out any money and not have it work the game! Thanks!
