Downloading the mod

I been downloading the mod. But I don't have doom 3 installed on my computer yet so I just been downloading the mod in a make shift folder for the time being then planning to cut the files and paste them into where they are meant to go when I install doom 3. Will this work or do I have to download the files into the the doom 3 folder for it to work?

Should work just fine if you place them correctly :)

 

i.e if your temp folder is called "darkmod" and you're using the updater to download it, all you'll have to do is paste the folder into the doom3 folder and run the launcher. If you're not using the launcher to download you either need to make 100% sure you have everything or if you can, run it from the folder once you have everything and it'll just do a final check.

 

the final thing will look a bit like this over-simplistic tree :

c:/
   games/
       doom3/
           doom3.exe
           base/
           other doom3 files and folders
           darkmod/
               launcher.exe
               the tdm pk4's and all the rest

Thankyou, it's working now.

      i am so euphoric to see new FMs keep coming out and I am keen to try it out in my leisure time, then suddenly my PC is spouting a couple of S.M.A.R.T errors...
      tbf i cannot afford myself to miss my network emulator image file&progress, important ebooks, hyper-v checkpoint & hyper-v export and the precious thief & TDM gamesaves. Don't fall yourself into & lay your hands on crappy SSD

      Does anyone actually use the Normalise button in the Surface inspector? Even after looking at the code I'm not quite sure what it's for.

      Turns out my 15th anniversary mission idea has already been done once or twice before! I've been beaten to the punch once again, but I suppose that's to be expected when there's over 170 FMs out there, eh? I'm not complaining though, I love learning new tricks and taking inspiration from past FMs. Best of luck on your own fan missions!

      I wanna play Doom 3, but fhDoom has much better features than dhewm3, yet fhDoom is old, outdated and probably not supported. Damn!
      Makes me think that TDM engine for Doom 3 itself would actually be perfect.

      Maybe a bit of advice ? In the FM series I'm preparing, the two main characters have the given names Toby and Agnes (it's the protagonist and deuteragonist, respectively), I've been toying with the idea of giving them family names as well, since many of the FM series have named protagonists who have surnames. Toby's from a family who were usually farriers, though he eventually wound up working as a cobbler (this serves as a daylight "front" for his night time thieving). Would it make sense if the man's popularly accepted family name was Farrier ? It's an existing, though less common English surname, and it directly refers to the profession practiced by his relatives. Your suggestions ?
