Hi, very amazing thing you've created here.

I'm running it on Arch Linux 64-bit, and some keyboard keys aren't being read properly in the Settings/Controls menu. For example, the up, down, and right arrow keys all produce "0x00" while the left arrow key produces "Alt". Alt itself produces "Enter"... the problem with this is that several keys end up doing the same thing, like the case with the arrow keys all making 0x00. Also I can't press up or down to go through previous console commands, though that's far less important.

I'm using a thinkpad X230 in case that matters.

edit: Using the 32 bit binary produces the same results

Phew, key mapping on Linux looks quite broken in the code. Doom3 is using a very limited mapping table on possibly the wrong input. I added a new mapper for standard special keys that should at least improve the situation, starting from 2.08. In the long term, we may need to look into a rewrite, possibly using a sensible input library.

      I posted about it before, but I think the default tdm logo video looks outdated. For a (i.m.o.) better looking version, you can download the pk4 attached to this post and plonk it in your tdm root folder. Every mission that starts with the tdm logo then starts with the better looking one. Try for example mission COS1 Pearls and Swine.

      I finished DOOM - The Dark Ages the other day. It is a decent shooter, but not as great as its predecessors, especially because of the soundtrack.
