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?

when i do a search, it give me some results, I click on a result and exspect to get taken to the post it specifies - but no..... I get taken to the first post of the bloody thread it is in..ggrrr

Hi, I know that I've posted a few technical help questions on this forum about this before, but I really need some help. My doom3 copy is very "bugged". My Doom 3 is THE CORRECT 1.3.1 (BTW). Firstly. There is a doom 3 bug where corpses which are gibbed dissapear (as normal ). Then Reappear for a few seconds headless then dissapear. Secondly, Using most mods causes the crosshair to be positioned incorrectly. The bullet always hits the lower right of the crosshair. I use an ATI mobility 5730 card windows 7 x64 bit, for references. ATI CCC 10.7 Is this due to my faulty doom 3 CD? I've heard some people have this issue on the steam forums too. Thanks.

I do not speak English and I pass by an automatic translator I cannot reinstall TDM as long as I would have this problem of error with Doom 3 I have just reinstalled Doom 3 and always this error and the patch 1.31.1.1304 is put C:\Jeux\Doom3 Système: Microsoft Windows Xp Professionnel Service Pack 3 Ordinateur: AMD Phenom 9600 Quad-core Processor 2 31 GHz 3,25 Go de RAM

[update] Spoke to Marcus @AMD UK on the phone and as it turns out a number of complaints have been made against "Spyre". My AMD forum account has been unbarred and my Ip address unblocked!!! Bought a new gfx card for xmas, been having issues with mainly the driver So I though a good place to look for support and polity vent etc - or so I thought My second post got flamed by some smart arse fanboy and then promptly locked, to which I reported the posted asking why it had been locked.. and then my account on there got deleted and my Ip blocked (untill the isp dhcp refreshed etc) so I cant login even with a different account name. I have emailed AMD directly about this as I did nothing wrong according the t&c's and I got no warning Pm or email from the forum mods. Now I've been over at the nVidia forums a long while back when I had the 8800GTX when I was equally frustrated when posting about the driver issue with thief etc, but at no point did a thread get locked or worse my account deleted. I don't have loyalty to AMD or nVidia but depending on the answer I get from AMD next week this card maybe going back and AMD will be added to the list of manufactures I will never buy anything from again. So whats the moral of this story, well take your pick.. [update] found cached copies of 1 of my posts Cached AMD frum link Cached AMD forum link2

why are they so slow this evening..??

When playing TDM, even at constant 60 fps, the game always somehow didn't run smoothly for me. There were small Micro-Lags, that made it all look more like 20 fps instead of 60. Today I incidentally stumbled over a solution to the problem, that worked out so great, that I thought I'd share it with you taffers. So here's the secret: Enable triple buffering and vertical synchronization in your driver settings! And that's already it. It's really unbelievable how much one can gain in graphical quality by simply changing driver settings. "I wonder how RttC plays with this..." - says he, running off to start TDM

Well, I've made some hacks on Doom3.exe in order to "convince" it to support 3Dc format (ATI1/BC4 and ATI2/BC5). Of course, all other texture formats still should work as well. I must admit that I haven't try these hacked Doom 3 executables with 3Dc normals, but I've ran both Doom 3 and TDM with these hacked executables, and everything seems was ok. Does anyone want to try? If yes, please notice that my archive consists of two executables: Doom3_LATC.exe and Doom3_RGTC.exe. Jean Michiel Paul van Waveren, id Software, and Ignacio Castaño, nVidia, think that LATC is more convenient than RGTC in some cases, so I provide both versions: LATC and RGTC. I must warn you: there is no warranty that my executables will work as it should, so use it on your own risk.

Hi guys, seems one of my Doom 3 mods screwed up the AI's pathfinding in the maps. The best advice I've got is to run runAAS for the map(s). When this didn't work, I did a complete dmap for the map I was on, and the pathfinding was fixed. However, using the dmap command I could only dmap one map at a time. Is there any way to dmap all maps at one?

Today there are people talking about scary games and some other mod but can some of you name some good d3 mods that are less action type games and more exploratory or adventurous? Somethings like that one for Halflife2 called Dear Ester I think. Also if there are some good ones would I be able to play them without messing up TDM?

I just replaced my old laptop and my new one is giving me troubles when I try to run Doom3 (gotta have that working before I can install darkmod right) I appologize for asking this here but I don't like Doom and I am not part of the doom community (I bought doom3 so I could play TDM). before we get too far here are my system specs: Toshiba qosmio X505 Intel Core i5 CPU m450 @ 2.4 GHz 4 GB RAM Windows 7 64-bit NVIDIA GTS 360M 1GB video card not too sure about the sound card I see something called connexant HD and NVIDIA Hi definition sound but I don't know if that means it's an integrated card or discrete. hopefully sound isn't the issue. . . any way I installed doom3 to C:\Program Files (x86)\DOOM3 I took out the space doom likes to put between "doom" and "3" because I remember reading a while ago that the space there could cause issues with TDM. I also notice there is an empty file C:\Program Files (x86)\DOOM 3 that was created with game install. the install seemed to work correctly, at least I did not get any error alerts and it said it was successfull but anytime I try to run Doom I get this error message very quickly: 2394 MHz Intel CPU with MMX & SSE & SSE2 & SSE3 & HTT 4016 MB System Memory 1024 MB Video Memory Winsock Initialized Hostname: Ian-PC IP: 192.168.2.4 doom using MMX & SSE & SSE2 & SSE3 for SIMD processing enabled Flush-To-Zero mode enabled Denormals-Are-Zero mode ------ Initializing File System ------ Current search path: C:\Program Files (x86)\DOOM3/base C:\Program Files (x86)\DOOM3\base\pak004.pk4 (5137 files) C:\Program Files (x86)\DOOM3\base\pak003.pk4 (4676 files) C:\Program Files (x86)\DOOM3\base\pak002.pk4 (6120 files) C:\Program Files (x86)\DOOM3\base\pak001.pk4 (8972 files) C:\Program Files (x86)\DOOM3\base\pak000.pk4 (2698 files) C:\Program Files (x86)\DOOM3\base\game00.pk4 (2 files) game DLL: 0x0 in pak: 0x0 file system initialized. -------------------------------------- ----- Initializing Decls ----- ------------------------------ ------- Initializing renderSystem -------- using ARB renderSystem renderSystem initialized. -------------------------------------- 4966 strings read from strings/english.lang Couldn't open journal files execing editor.cfg execing default.cfg couldn't exec DoomConfig.cfg couldn't exec autoexec.cfg 4966 strings read from strings/english.lang ----- Initializing Sound System ------ sound system initialized. -------------------------------------- ----- R_InitOpenGL ----- Initializing OpenGL subsystem ...registered window class ...registered fake window class ...initializing QGL ...calling LoadLibrary( 'opengl32' ): succeeded ...calling CDS: ok ...created window @ 0,0 (640x480) Initializing OpenGL driver ...getting DC: succeeded ...attempting to use stereo ...PIXELFORMAT 10 selected ...creating GL context: succeeded ...making context current: succeeded ------- Input Initialization ------- Initializing DirectInput... mouse: DirectInput initialized. keyboard: DirectInput initialized. ------------------------------------ sound: STEREO ...using GL_ARB_multitexture ...using GL_ARB_texture_env_combine ...using GL_ARB_texture_cube_map ...using GL_ARB_texture_env_dot3 ...using GL_ARB_texture_env_add ...using GL_ARB_texture_non_power_of_two ...using GL_ARB_texture_compression ...using GL_EXT_texture_filter_anisotropic maxTextureAnisotropy: 16.000000 ...using GL_1.4_texture_lod_bias X..GL_EXT_shared_texture_palette not found ...using GL_EXT_texture3D ...using GL_EXT_stencil_wrap ...using GL_NV_register_combiners ...using GL_EXT_stencil_two_side X..GL_ATI_fragment_shader not found ...using GL_ARB_vertex_buffer_object ...using GL_ARB_vertex_program ...using GL_ARB_fragment_program ...using EXT_depth_bounds_test ---------- R_NV20_Init ---------- -------------------------------------------- ----- R200_Init ----- Not available. ---------- R_ARB2_Init ---------- Available.

I have been reading more of the history of this Mod at ttlg lately (boy... those folks can be really contentious...) and have been living vicariously through their feelings of wonder and discovery for every old milestone for the Mod. It so much more rich of an experience than occasionally checking Moddb or Filefront (etc) for the latest Doom 3 mods. Even Doom3world doesn't have this wild and wooley type of community. I'd like to see who out there is like me and came into this mod primarily via Doom 3. I suspect that it may be 2 to 3 members (but I think rich_is_bored is from the Doom 3 camp so I may be in good company ???)

Well, does any one cos when I install the patch mine messes up so I cant play anything.

Just returned from a 7 day holiday, opened up this forum, had at least 4 pages of "new content". Made it past page 2 (to about June 03), and then had to take care of a few things here. When I came back, the forum had logged me out (timeout?), and when you log out, it forgets all "new content". So you log in, and it says "there is nothing new for you". Great, now I never know what I missed between May 30th and June 03.... grrrrrrrrr With email, you would still have all unread messages *sigh* Is there a way to change this behaviour? It has annoyed me in the past, but not as much as this time.. Edit: It's even worse, there is "no new content", but when I go f.i. into the "off topic" sub-forum, it still shows me threads as unread that I definitely already did read an hour ago. So I can't even just look at all the "unread" threads. Oh boy...

Shortly after Doom 3 was released, one of the best Demo coders out there, Humus, found evidence that part of Doom 3's lighting interaction was originally planned to be done via shader math instead of via texture lookup. Humus re-enabled this method and modified the way it worked so that ATI hardware gained significant performance. This change has been incorporated into ATI's driver since then and I suspect that this inclusion is the reason why Catalyst AI causes so much havok for things the the Parallax Mapping mod and JC Denton's HDR work... I have occasionally corresponded with Humus over the years but would not really consider myself "connected"... nevertheless I have sent an appeal to him to look into this ongoing work and provide is ATI specific OpenGL expertise... (here's hoping... ) BTW you really should check out his tech demo's: http://www.humus.name/index.php?page=3D My apologies if this has already been broached earlier or elsewhere, I know that this is some old stuff.

I haven't found anything related to this problem by searching the forums. I have finally decided to fire up DarkRadiant. All modules load correctly, but then it crashes to desktop right after selecting the game path. My D3 path is : E:\Jeux\DOOM 3 TDM folder is : E:\Jeux\DOOM 3\darkmod DR version is 1.2.2, 64-bit build (portable or installer) TDM version is 1.02 O/S is Windows 7 64-bit The bottom part of darkradiant.log is : ModuleRegistry: dependencies satisfied, invoking initialiser for GameManager GameManager: Scanning for game description files: C:/Program Files/DarkRadiant/games/ XMLRegistry: Importing XML file: C:/Program Files/DarkRadiant/games/doom3-demo.game XMLRegistry: Importing XML file: C:/Program Files/DarkRadiant/games/doom3.game GameManager: Found game definitions: Doom 3 Doom 3 Demo GameManager: Selected game type: Doom 3 GameManager: Querying Windows Registry for game path: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\id\Doom 3\InstallPath Win32Registry: Could not open registry key: SOFTWARE\id\Doom 3 GameManager: Windows Registry returned result: It seems to end after the search for registry keys. I installed Doom 3 manually, so I have no keys in the registry. Is it possible that DR would crash because of that? Is there a way to circumvent this problem? EDIT : I tried renaming DOOM 3 to DOOM3, same problem, so it's not coming from the space in the name. I'd also create a fake reg key, unfortunately I don't know what type and what contents for the SOFTWARE/id/Doom 3 key.
