to 1: yeah i know... but dof-mod, 3mood+parallax+brilliant mod and new and better textures + a ultra high quality cfg don't look and feal like normal doom3 but i dont have any of these mods installed in base... they are all in mod-folders, with their own cfgs and stuff only the normal base cfg is edited - but the mod SHOULD use its own - or am i wrong here? to 2: no alternative way for me - sounds like even more problems *sigh* to 3: i do believe its just a strange cfg bug, but i tried everything... dunno what else to try. i guess i gotta reinstall doom3 sometime to try this mod. but now i gotta sleep - one day trying to solve problems like this without gettin it work is enough. thanks anyway *sigh*

thanks, but that would help if it would be ingame related problems i guess... i tryed it anyway but: no luck... i don't even get this far to see any graphic bugs like black walls or white models without textures or somethin' like that... and that shatter the nerves right now. i start the mod and its just that f*** up black screen with music in the back and loading errors in console. i mean, as you could see in the screenshots above (first postings up this thread) the console is reporting, that the game is unable to load everything - except the menu-theme and button sounds as it seems it's not the driver, cause i could play EVERY F**** mod for doom3 i tryed (4 or 5 mods..) and the game itself with good frames, everything high and no graphic errors or bugs. so. i dunno. can't stand it anymore. i tryed the whole f*** day to start it. still no luck. thats just depressing. edit: i even downloaded the WHOLE mod again, via update.exe - STILL NOT WORKING.

as you could see geforce...

as you could see, me either... to be more correct: i wrote wrong stuff in my last posting... i got a doomconfig.cfg in base and every mod folder but not in \doom3 - sorry my fault. BUT i think something is replacing my cfg in the "darkmod" folder... after starting the .exe -> i see the blackscreen, the mousekey and hear stuff, as seen in the screens i posted above-> i quit -> than the cfg inside the "darkmod" folder is something about 10,4 kb. i erase it, start the updater again. -> now the new generated cfg is 7,31 kb. if i start the game again.. -> same situation, blackscreen and mousekey + sounds but not more... but after quiting -> cfg is 10,4 kb again. I TRYED IT THE WHOLE FUC*** DAY... i just pakc and leave i think... sad to say that it will not work for me.

yes - i can confirm that all files are "correct" ... after reading, that the updater scans the cfg's and sayes "is there, skipping", so i copy+pasted it - than erased it and restarted the update-file... then he downloaded a new cfg-file - BUT, my old one was something about 10,4 kb... the new one is about 7 kb ?! i didnt changed anything to the old or new one, how can that be? to cut a long story short: still not working, same blackscreen. tryed to give the "darkmod" folder rights to get rewritten and changed it to "only read" - no changes... what did you mean, with replacing the doomcfg? what should i replace exactly? should i copy the one from my doom3 folder into the "darkmod" folder ?

shure, 1 sec... i'll edit this post. edit2: i just looked at the FAQ-entry you posted before ... and looked at this "texture missing & blackscreen" bug cfg-entrys (even if i don't think that this is my problem at all) and changed it: after starting the game... still same problem. blackscreen with mousekey and sounds and errors in the console. after gettin back to desk, i looked at the cfg again... and the command "seta image_useprecompressedtextures "1"" jumped to "0" again.. than i tryed it again, but made the cfg file "READ ONLY"... still same problem: blackscreen, mousekey and sounds + errors in console (but now console also written: "couldn't write cfg" so, nope... FAQ entry about missing or black textures won't help.

first of all: thanks for the answer edit: answers but in my eyes, it couldn't be that i've to reinstall everything, just because i choosed d instead of c without the folder "games" i've had the 2 "demo"-versions of the DM installed before and just erased the folders of them - i just got the "st. lucia" folder left and erased it before extracting the new one... could it be, that there are still files from the other 2 demos??? if there are some - how can i find them? i'll try the cfg thing you linked from the FAQ - but i dont see any ingame graphics at all... i couldn't even start a game - its the menu thats black... saw the screens?

any mod here with HELP?!

same problem for me... but i dont think that doom3 is replacing the dm-cfg... cause the darkmod folder is READ-ONLY on my sys. after downloading and extracting the "newest" tdm file from moddb ("2009_10_18_thedarkmod_v1.0_beta.zip") into my doom3 directory (D:\doom3), i start the "tdmlauncher.exe"... all i get is a black screen and a mouse button (the normal d3 mousebutton, not the tdm one). i can hear sounds and melodies (even the "click" sounds when moving over buttons - as it seems) but nothing more will happen... tried anything, but can just quit via "alt+f4" or console. in console there are some red errors, that the game couldn't load the background images and stuff. some screens are below.. system: vista home premium 64, 4 gig ram, 8800 gtx (using driver 86.18 cause newer ones got problems with some older games i still play) don't have any problems with other mods for d3 or the original game... PLEASE HELP!!! wanna play (waited for YEARS, and just got d3 because of your mod) thx. edit: i checked your FAQ and other forums, no help.
