Here's the press release: And the trailer. So it says "remastered for XBOX 360 and PS3", as well as "improved lighting and rendering". I wonder whether they mean that as an improvement from the original XBOX build, which was using a slightly nerfed idTech 4 engine, or whether the PC too will see a truly new engine build. Features like 5.1, stereoscopic 3D and gamepad support point towards an updated idTech 4, but will we see any optimization or changes in the rendering engine that might make the Dark Mod run better? This has the potential to impact the mod in interesting ways.

Hi all. I have found my way to The Dark Mod via the excellent fan missions on TTLG which in itself I stumbled across only a few weeks ago. I got hold of a genuine version of DOOM 3 from Amazon very cheaply last week but have encountered problems when attempting to patch with the 1304 update (Couldn't load default.cfg). I do note that my DOOM 3 is a EU manufactured set and I get a warning at the outset of the options in the setup for the patch something about being "cannot identify the version of DOOM 3 installed" and if I am not running the English version then to "select the appropriate localisation component" during the patch process (none of which make the slightest difference of course). I am loath to ask for help with a first post but having trawled the web and fiddled with the setup as best that I can, I am still stuck and would love to run the Dark Mod missions (DOOM is just not my type of game). Any suggestions and assistance gratefully appreciated. Here is the error messages I get with Win XP Pro SP3, AMD Athlon 2.4+, 1.5Gb RAM, runs Thief DP,TMA, T2X and all Thief FM's seemlessly. Graphics are Radeon 9550 with 256Mb onboard RAM.

First off - howdy all, brand new to the Forum, although I have played a little of the Dark Mod at a friends house, and was of course a massive Thief fan back in the day.. I've been lurking many times in the boards and site, and have decided I finally have to purchase Doom3 so I can experience the wonders that are the missions of the Dark Mod. Steam has it for £13.99 - would anyone here know anywhere I could get it cheaper? d'uh - first post and I come across like a cheapskate...!! Also just thought this may not be the correct board - many apologies, feel free to castigate the newbie.,,;o)

The link in the wiki is broken, can someone provide? I need it. :\

Yes, you are still viewing The Dark Mod Forums I've just finished the upgrade of our IPB Board Forums to the latest release. Packed with new features, rewritten code and all that. Have a look around. The skin is currently the default one, but will sooner or later be converted to a darker skin, to fit the Dark Mod universe. Also note that the forums have been moved from http://modetwo.net/darkmod to it's own sub-domain: http://forums.thedarkmod.com - all forum links will still work tho, thanks to Apache's rewrite-plugin. Please report any bugs, requests and comments in this thread. PS: The forums will run a bit slow the first hours as the cache is being rebuilt.

So... What was up with the forums all day yesterday..?

Hi all. I'm trying to install TDM 1.06 to Doom 3 by 1C (it's a legal copy and I have the key, by the way). I've patched by Windows 1.31 patch that I found on wiki page. So, Doom itself works just fine, but when I switch to TDM it crashes - runtime error in doom3.exe. Any ideas? OS is Win7, however I can try to install Doom in Linux (I'll try). P.S: I can sit an hour or 2 by debugging this stuff, but it won't help at all - application is too big for hot patches by a man who had never read the sources. UPD: So, step-by-step patching made a deal. It works right now

Hello there. I installed TDM, applied patch and it wont start mission. Game is asking me for DOOM 3 CD key. I understand this game is using doom 3 engine but it is free, is it? I bought my doom 3 seven years ago and it never asked me cd key till now. I dug all my house upside down but i just cant find CD case. Can this be bypassed somehow?

I'm looking for a cheap, hand-held device that can play games based on the Doom engine and the many thousands of levels fans have made for these games. The GBA version was playable, but pretty terrible due to changed around music, no custom levels, and the GBA screen its self. Something like (Rockbox Doom on a Sansa Fuse) looks just beautiful. The screen has great color reproduction and the device is very small. The only problem with an mp3 player is that the controls are not meant for gaming. Most manufactures try and make a horrible copy of the clickwheel, which is also unsuitable for games like Doom. I have a Cowon D2, and tonight I tried to flash Rockbox onto the thing so I could get Doom running like in Again, great picture quality, but lousy controls. The installer didn't work though sadly. Got any suggestions? Basically, if I could have a Rockbox device with a D-pad and a decent screen for cheap, I would be in heaven.

1. Is it possible to play the mod with a russian copy of Doom 3? 2. Should i install the same 1.3.1 patch I got from your wiki and simply choose the russian language pack as well? 3. After the mod is installed will it be in russian or english? 4. If in russian is there anything i can do to make it english?
