Hi All. As a newbee to the darkradiant and the dark mod I'm not having any success in testing out my first room. I've looked at the A_Z on how to do this BUT I don't understand exactly what it is I'm supposed to do. (I blame my age...66) Is there a video or a help file for dummies that show how to run a map????? Please be gentle with me if this question has already been asked?

What exactly do you not understand? How far do you come?

 

Actually you just create a room in DR, save the map, open the dark mod, open the console, type dmap mapname to build the map and than map mapname to run it. mapname is the name of your map. Make sure it is located in doom3/darkmod/maps

Welcome to the forums and good luck mapping.

 

 

Open Doom 3 and hit CTRL + ALT + ~ (tilde) , ( ^ on German keyboards) to open the console.

 

(To add to Obsttorte's recommendations.)

      Finally got round to publishing a tutorial on baking normal maps in Blender, since most of the ones we have are inaccessible or years out of date.

      The FAQ wiki is almost a proper FAQ now. Probably need to spin-off a bunch of the "remedies" for playing older TDM versions into their own article.

      Was checking out old translation packs and decided to fire up TDM 1.07. Rightful Property with sub-20 FPS areas yay! ( same areas run at 180FPS with cranked eye candy on 2.12 )

      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.
