Hi everyone

Possible run dark mod with another game that use Id tech 4 engine ?

(id tech uses in Quake 4 Prey Wolfenstein)

Dark Mod uses many assets of Doom 3, which are probably not available in those games and there might be other technical reasons, why this wouldn't work...

Those games are all very different from Doom 3. It would essentially require a full team to convert everything to work in one of the other engines. Really wouldn't be a lot of benefit to doing it.

No

But you can get Doom3 for 20 Dollars:

I got my copy of doom 3 for 6,99 € on amazon

Good money says there will be a "You should convert to idTech5" thread, at some point in the future.

dark mod running perfect with my D3 but in another versions of id tech 4 more optimezed

 

In doom3 shadows are very sharp

It would be a monumental task with only a few benefits, so it's not going to happen.

 

BUT other versions of id4 aren't going to be open source, either, only the D3 version. So we'd want it on D3 anyway. That means, e.g., when D3 goes open source there will be the chance to optimize it then, and add soft shadows, etc. So there is hope that some of the things you want will get into Dark Mod someday just through open Doom3, without moving to another version. That's what we should focus our attention on.

From what I've read, the only Idtech 4 games that might be optimized would be ETQW and Wolfenstein. The other games only contained very minor modifications to the engine itself.

 

ETQW is pretty different in terms of megatexture, but it's so drastically different that it would require a few years to transfer everything.

 

Wolfenstein has no editing access, so it would be next to impossible to do this...and a majority of the engine was rewritten...for better or worse, I can't say.

 

Nope, the best choice is to stick with what we have. It's simple, it's stable, and graphics aren't everything.
