doom3world ended up here

but not all of it went with it, looks like they only saved the news page.

 

for coop you would have to re-add the mutiplayer code as I think that was removed from tdm (unless it was just commented out and is still in the source code), and then create some def files to define the coop info player starts, and other things.

In addition to the wiki's I have also found it extremely helpful reading through all of the other FM makers threads in The Editors Guild sub-section of the forums.

 

Using Google instead of using the forum search is also way more efficient when you encounter an issue and only have so much time to work, i.e. you can't or don't want to wait for responses to a thread in the forums.

 

Google searching like this ---> site:http://forums.thedarkmod.com __search_terms_here___

 

So for instance:

 

site:http://forums.thedarkmod.com AI falling through the floor

 

site:http://forums.thedarkmod.com mapping thread

 

You can quickly find a multitude of discussions and solutions and keep them open in seperate tabs for reference.

 

 

Obstortte's "Let's Map" series is also very highly recommended. ---> http://forums.thedarkmod.com/topic/16176-obsttorte-presents-lets-map-tdm/

 

I would also suggest 1st completely going through the A-Z tutorial and just compile a list of questions in a Notepad file as you go through. Many times your questions will be answered later in the tutorial or you'll discover them on your own as you progress through the tutorial and you'll be more efficient with your time and not get hung up on something.

      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.

      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.
