How To Install?


Recommended Posts

I wanted to give DarkRadiant a try, but I'm not sure how to install it. I downloaded the ZIP file and it has it's own directory. I noticed that it has a doom3.game directory as well. Would this mean that Doom 3 needs to be installed there? Also I have the impression that the path to Doom 3 was not correct, and now I don't find a way to reset it. Why can't you change it in the preferences?

Are there some first-steps instructions?

Unzip it somewhere and run the exe. :)

 

You don't need to install Doom 3 inside its path - the doom3.game folder is just for Doom3-specific settings. (Since GtkRadiant can be used to edit maps for more than just Doom 3.)

 

You can change Doom 3's path after it has loaded - press P to open the preferences dialog (or go Edit->Preferences) and go to Settings -> Paths. You can change the engine path there.

 

It does need documentation, you're right. :)

I already found that thanks. I still don't see any Doom 3 assets, nor our own. I had the same problem with GtkRadiant before, but I don't remember what I did to fix it.

The path must be set to the main directory of the game or to the base directory?

 

i.e.

F:\Programme\Doom3

and not

F:\Programme\Doom3\base

Ah, good.

 

I think I'll whip up a quick post in the Documentation section to explain the basics, until we have time to write up something better.

      I've finally managed to log in to The Dark Mod Wiki. I'm back in the saddle and before the holidays start in full, I'll be adding a few new FM articles and doing other updates. Written in Stone is already done.

      You cannot receive PMs. Could you please be so kind and check your mailbox if it is full (or maybe you switched off the function)?

      I like the new frob highlight but it would nice if it was less "flickery" while moving over objects (especially barred metal doors).
