do I need doom3 for dark radiant

[c0mputer-fr0d]

it asks for a path to the engine, I ignore it and go into the program and try to make brushes. I then try to use textures, it can't find any. I also tried to load up a template pk4 file and it can't see any pk4 files.

Doom 3 is no longer required for Dark Mod or Dark Radiant.

In Game Settings:

Select a Game dropdown, "doom 3"

Set path to where your darkmod folder is (parent folder).

Set "mod" to "darkmod".

"mod base" is blank.

 

Then your media textures should be there, and everything else.

no dice on that method. I tried that before , it just scrubs the path out after I press ok.

Look this thread over, you might find something that solves your issue:

Yes, it does that, well, not really, it uses the info (you see textures/everything), but if you go back into preferences, it loses the path and has to be reset each time.

 

There have been other threads about that issue, but it's not lost until you go back into Prefs, which you really don't do once it's all set up how you want it, but a pain in the rear when you first start using it and are changing prefs frequently.

 

To put it another way, it doesn't "scrub the path out after pressing ok" as much as it scrubs the path out when you call up the preferences window next time, but keeps the path and uses it internally in the meantime.

 

(You can tell the difference, because everything turns into "not found" if you click OK with the path blank.)

Thanks guys. I set my engine path to rootdrive\Program Files(x86)\ and it seemed to find the textures then.

Is not advisable to mod idtech or TDM in a path with spaces it can lead to problems later, this is how i do it "rootdrive\doom" for doom3 modding or "rootdrive\darkmod" for TDM.
