I have patched doom 3 and now when I try to start it up it comes up with this Sys_InitNetworking: adding loopback interface doom using MMX & SSE & SSE2 for SIMD processing enabled Flush-To-Zero mode enabled Denormals-Are-Zero mode ------ Initializing File System ------ Loaded pk4 C:\games\Doom3\Doom 3\base\game01.pk4 with checksum 0x51c6981f Loaded pk4 C:\games\Doom3\Doom 3\base\game02.pk4 with checksum 0xf3ec6f7 Loaded pk4 C:\games\Doom3\Doom 3\base\game03.pk4 with checksum 0x5d4230ea Loaded pk4 C:\games\Doom3\Doom 3\base\pak005.pk4 with checksum 0x8ffc3621 Loaded pk4 C:\games\Doom3\Doom 3\base\pak006.pk4 with checksum 0x95b65ab Loaded pk4 C:\games\Doom3\Doom 3\base\pak007.pk4 with checksum 0x666bdb3c Loaded pk4 C:\games\Doom3\Doom 3\base\pak008.pk4 with checksum 0x23ae5993 Current search path: C:\games\Doom3\Doom 3/base C:\games\Doom3\Doom 3\base\pak008.pk4 (3 files) C:\games\Doom3\Doom 3\base\pak007.pk4 (38 files) C:\games\Doom3\Doom 3\base\pak006.pk4 (48 files) C:\games\Doom3\Doom 3\base\pak005.pk4 (63 files) C:\games\Doom3\Doom 3\base\game03.pk4 (2 files) C:\games\Doom3\Doom 3\base\game02.pk4 (2 files) C:\games\Doom3\Doom 3\base\game01.pk4 (2 files) game DLL: 0x0 in pak: 0x0 Addon pk4s: file system initialized. -------------------------------------- Unknown command 'vid_restart' idRenderSystem::Shutdown() Shutting down OpenGL subsystem ...shutting down QGL Couldn't load default.cfg

In most if not all of your cases it is due to mis-installing the patch. The patch does not properly install into the correct directory. By default it says it will install in some C:/Program Files or something like that. You need to change it to install right into your main Doom 3 directory. So just try to install the patch again, carefully setting the correct directory, and you should all be all set. This same problem has occured over and over again for many people on various forums. I think it really needs to be added to the install directions for the mod on the wiki and elsewhere. It's getting to be a common issue.

Crispy came across a very talented modeler on the indiegames forums, who goes by the name of Tricko. Since we're in pretty good shape as far as characters go, he suggest Tricko apply as an object modeler. I agree with this as well. Here is some of his modeling work. http://www.wazgrafix.com/

Welcome to the forums! Glad to see the demo has stimulated some people to try out mapping for it. There will eventually be a user-friendly objectives editor in DarkRadiant, but right now the only way to enter them in is with spawnargs, and it's not user-friendly at all (although I think maybe easier than DromEd ). I'm also still revising some things in the objectives system, so it's still subject to change. You can take a look at how they were handled in the Thief's den map, by looking for an entity called target_tdm_addobjectives. That's where the objective information is stored, although I think Fidcal also did some tricks with triggers and counters to set up certain objectives. [EDIT: Just saw the video for your mod, it looks very interesting, and looks like it has very different gameplay from Doom3, which is good!]

Right so Ive been back for a few days now and finally managed to jump back into it Heres a question: How do I get the renderbump command to reference the objects UV map? Whenever I run the command I get the default 1-sided map (which isnt even registered as a UVmap) O Ive been tinkering a bit and learning more about the engine through various forums so Ive got the model in game, just really the normal maps that are causing the only issues. Ive already got a basic .mtr file that should work fine, soooo.. Hints, tips, tricks? thanks

Comon, I have a ati x1950. I already read a lot of threads about this, and that's why I re-installed my video card drivers. Doesn't work. Re-installed Doom 3, still doesn't work. Doesn't Doom3 work with my video card? I just wanna be able to play DM

There is usually always somebody around on these forums, so why should this change after the 15th?

There are a sizeable number of us who read the forums daily or nearly daily. I haven't counted but I'd estimate about a dozen(?) So don't worry, there will be support. We can't promise that we'll be able to solve every problem immediately, and we can't promise that we'll be heard over the inevitable frenzied chaos, but we'll be here.

Model Folder Structure I guess I have spent way too much time on your wiki... By the way here are some nice tutorials for lightwave and maya in the context of doom 3 models. Baddcog probably already knows these, cause I saw him post in those forums... Aparently you find no good doom 3 tutorials for 3ds max, so I guess I'll make a transition over to Maya.

I tried to rename the pak000.pk4 and Doom 3 complained about the "_default" texture missing (the warning occurs if you happen to fix the "default.cfg" warning), so I think they are still stored somewhere on disk.

Maybe he read the bugreport I filed after posting here pointing this out on the after some months? http://bugs.angua.at/view.php?id=472 Eclipses happen in the manner of minutes and it would be certainly very odd if the moon stayed the same for even 10 min, let alone for an hour mission playtime. This is also affected by the place from where you photograph the moon. I think that by just looking at the photo you might be able to deduce where it was taken. Moon looks different in Europe than in Australia. Technically, at least all the moon pictures in TDM should either: * look like they are from the same place, preferable the northern hemisphere * are of (always the same) fictional moon Yes, they do. As I wrote last year. And in the bug report. http://bugs.angua.at/view.php?id=472 This is not a personal attack/critic, but I really do wonder how bad our internal team communication must be if 2 or 3 persons can "discover" the same issue over the course of a few months and not notice the other "discoveries". (I also blame myself for wasting countless hours on the forums but not finding 30min to just fix the dang moon myself Anyway, back to the topic at hand, I also wrote that clouds heavy enough for rain also block the moon. The only way you could see the moon if you have partial clouds, e.g. heavy rainclouds over you, and less/no clouds to the side where the moon is. However, the cloud layer in TD is uniform. So I would say just remove the moon from the missing. The texture should also be fixed, tho.

I deleted all the big pk4 files from doom, because I didn't think you needed any of the default doom content to play TDM.

Can you upload that pk4 somewhere. I seem to have lost it, and its also on Doom CD 3 which I can't find. It's only a small one with a few text files in it, right?

This isn't exactly a DarkRadiant problem, but it sounds like the game can't load your base/pak000.pk4. The default.cfg file is in that package and D3 is missing it obviously. I assume you are starting D3 with +set fs_game darkmod?

I'd give it a go, but since updating SVN I get this error on starting Doom C:\doom3\base\game00.pk4 (2 files) game DLL: 0x0 in pak: 0x0 Addon pk4s: file system initialized. -------------------------------------- Unknown command 'vid_restart' idRenderSystem::Shutdown() Shutting down OpenGL subsystem ...shutting down QGL Couldn't load default.cfg

I submitted the site to Digg a long while back.. http://digg.com/software/The_Dark_Mod_A_Do...the_Thief_games It almost had enough support to hit the front page (which would expose it to millions).

What surprises me is that there are no 1st person ninja stealth games that handle stealth in a Thiefy way and incorporate Dark Messiah type combat with a ninja stealth slant. I'm talking about a game where you are a hired assassin that has to use ninja skills to break into castles and palaces and take out the target with the minimum of fuss. Would be easy to do now from a technical POV but just needs someone with the vision to create a workable 1st person combat system that is far more sophisticated than that in Dark Messiah. I've posted my ideas for character skills progression in a Thief world that I think would suit both the larger gaming demographic and even the hardcore like oDDity, here: http://forums.thedarkmod.com/index.php?showtopic=6420 You could easily have difficulty settings that restrict any of those aspects and therefore the game could be as arcade-y and assassin orientated as you like, as pure Thief with ghosting requirements as you like or anywhere in between. Dark Messiah already gave us an example of how limited multiple character progression paths could work. It's fault was in not really allowing for as satisfying gameplay if you chose pure magic or pure stealth. Did anyone ever try fighting the Orc chieftain as a pure stealth or mage character? The problem was that the game was far too combat oriented - a Thief game would not suffer this since you always have the option of avoiding AI or, using the system I propose, taking them out in a more stealthy fashion.

Yeah, I had this kind of problem. Basically I went to a special forum dedicated to dealing with malware: http://forums.spywareinfo.com/ You can read about my escapade if you want: http://forums.spywareinfo.com/lofiversion/...php/t51518.html I think they have a pretty solid system because these guys handle these problems over and over every day. You get a program called "Hijack This", run it, then post the log ... then one of the resident experts can read it and, pretty much no matter what it is, they'll know exactly what the problem(s) are from the log. Then they give you step by step instructions to get rid of it. Edit: As you can see the instructions they gave me were pretty elaborate, it was also a tenacious Trojan that had to have all its grabby tentacles cut and deleted in a special way before you could delete the trojan itself in another special way. But it got rid of it absolutely. What I like about the site, beyond the generous help they give you, is the whole spirit of the place. You get the idea these guys despise malware with great passion. So it's good to see another face, a sympathetic human face, to cyberspace. They have training courses people can take to slowly but surely become resident experts. If I had the time & initiative, I think it'd be pretty cool to be trained to be a malware destroyer ... few things can bring out our humanity better than knowing how to make vicious malware go away for people that aren't technical, like my parents, it's like their greatest, sickening horror come-true that they will literally suffer from for days. And to make that go away for them, with simple step by step instructions, is like an act of pure compassion.

Welp I was dead on about Deus Ex 3. Soon the prophecy shall be fulfilled and Deus Ex will return to it's glory. It shall fulfill it's destiny. However this post isn't about Deus Ex, it's about Thief, specifically Thief 4. There's a curious little tidbit located at this webpage. http://www.eidosmontreal.com/en/games.html AAA games, with high quality licenses that offer exciting challenges – e.g., the first two games we develop will revive successful franchises Games for next-generation consoles – Xbox 360, PS3, PC, and Wii What other franchise could they revive other than Thief? Man I would love to work on those games. Anyway Thief 4 perhaps in the year 2011. Just remember, Unstop told you first. He can see the future. By the way here's the new and improved Deus Ex 3 forum.

Ah, I've updated the links in that post so that it links to the new wiki site now: http://forums.thedarkmod.com/index.php?s=&am...st&p=128770 For your convenience: http://wiki.thedarkmod.com/index.php?...ng_The_Dark_Mod The SVN URL is: https://darkmod.homelinux.com/svn/darkmod/trunk/

LWO files are binary. I looked up (see the 8.0 SDK documentation linked to from that page) the format to make sure. As such, I'd expect them to be more space-efficient but less compressible compared to an equivalent text-based format. The ID tags happen to be 4 ASCII bytes, though they're probably compared as integers in most implementations ("ID tags can be interpreted as unsigned integers for comparison purposes"). Apart from that all the important data is packed integers and IEEE floating-point values, which are binary.

Take this as your startup guide: http://forums.thedarkmod.com/index.php?showtopic=6694 You'll need TortoiseSVN and checkout the Mod using that software.
