I installed the patch but it still remains at version 1.3.1302. When I installed the patch I install it to C:\games\doom3\Doom 3\

 

Is this correct or am I installing the patch wrong?

 

Ok let me add that when I go to programs and into doom 3, there are 2 doom 3 icons. 1 of those icons let me start doom 3 up but it's at version 1.3.1302 and the other icon comes up with

 

couldn't load default.cfg

Uninstall Doom 3 first, delete the folder c:\games\doom3 (backup any saved info you want to keep first). Install Doom 3 again, apply patch. When you browse to the proper location with the patcher make sure it doesn't add "Doom 3" to the end, if it does delete this.

I always assumed I'd taste like boot leather.

Thanks mate, I got it working. I went through all that trouble and fixing the problem was as simple as deleting the "Doom 3" at the end of the patch location.

 

Thanks a lot, and to everyone else who "attempted" to help me but gave me wrong solutions and suggestions.

That's a rather polite way to thank people who at least TRY to help you if you can't figure it out on your own. <_<

 

Yeah I got that too, what the hell is wrong with people? Seriously, all help should be appreciated, even if it's not successful in solving the problem they are still trying to help.

I apologise for failing to read your mind. I have failed in my duty. *harakiri*

My games | Public Service Announcement: TDM is not set in the Thief universe. The city in which it takes place is not the City from Thief. The player character is not called Garrett. Any person who contradicts these facts will be subjected to disapproving stares.

This sentence came out sounding pretty sarcastic/snarky, given the "quotes" and the mention of "wrong suggestions":

It's hard to tell when people are being sarcastic or not in writing. If you give people cues like that then they'll naturally jump to conclusions.

Maybe english is not his first language?

I did not read hostility into it (just clumsy language; we all do it), but the tone was inferred and the rest is history. Let's get over it already shall we? I'm definitely not defending though -- If you think the comment was that annoying, you should've seen the attachment I deleted from the first post. <_<

It seemed fine to me, not excellent wording, but basically, "even though a lot of the help turned out not to be the problem, thanks anyway for trying". :)

 

@Half - I think some of the folks are just a bit overworked or what have you during this past week, so it's easy to see some things the wrong way perhaps. I don't think it's anything personal, really.

      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.

      Maybe a bit of advice ? In the FM series I'm preparing, the two main characters have the given names Toby and Agnes (it's the protagonist and deuteragonist, respectively), I've been toying with the idea of giving them family names as well, since many of the FM series have named protagonists who have surnames. Toby's from a family who were usually farriers, though he eventually wound up working as a cobbler (this serves as a daylight "front" for his night time thieving). Would it make sense if the man's popularly accepted family name was Farrier ? It's an existing, though less common English surname, and it directly refers to the profession practiced by his relatives. Your suggestions ?

      Looks like the "Reverse April Fools" releases were too well hidden. Darkfate still hasn't acknowledge all the new releases. Did you play any of the new April Fools missions?
