Dark Radiant Install

[acolyte6]

Installed the C++2008 thingy and followed the instructions below:

 

 

Windows

1. Download the DarkRadiant installer (it's the .exe file) from Sourceforge: http://sourceforge.net/projects/darkradiant
   
2. Run the installer and follow the instructions until it finishes.
   
3. Start up DarkRadiant via the Start menu.
   
4. If an "Engine Path Not Found" dialog appears, choose the path to your Doom 3 installation. For example, c:\Games\Doom3. Then click .
   
5. DarkRadiant should now start up. Try loading a Dark Mod map to see if it's working.
   
6. You're done!
   

my doom is in D:\Doom3 and I clicked OK, but I get the "close program, find a solution" window and that's it... Please help

What did you put in for fs_game? You should put in Thiefs_den or Saint_lucia depending on what demo assets you're using

 

Also, if it keeps crashing when you open DR, and you can't do anything but close out, go to c:\Users\your username\AppData\Roaming\DarkRadiant and delete user.xml

[acolyte6]

I installed The Den, but I'm going to try deleting that user.xml file...now. Thanks for the help...

 

Shoot there is no file by that name, only a darkradiant.log & darkradiant.pid

[Fidcal]

Do you still get the "Engine Path Not Found" message every time you run it?

TDM for dummies anywhere? Is there a install tut for Doom3+patch and TDM for dummies anywhere? The wiki for Dark is to confuseing for my

There is a good tut for Thief2+patch and dromEd that leads one by the hand (like install Thief2 then patch then install DromEd then patch (with links to patchs and Editor))

Ove and I got to say that Im running Windows Vista on a Intel Duo core processor P8400 (allso postede at TTLG)

What exactly are you trying to install?

 

For the "Thief's Den" release, use these instructions: http://wiki.thedarkmod.com/index.php/...en#Installation

 

For the "Saint Lucia" release, use these instructions: http://wiki.thedarkmod.com/index.php/...ia#Installation

 

For DarkRadiant (the level editor, equivalent to DromEd), use these instructions: http://wiki.thedarkmod.com/index.php/...tallation_Guide

Uuh I think that´s it I´l try it tomorrow afternoon as Im a bit nakkeret after a night at the inn

[Crispy]

Heh, okay. Let us know if you have any more problems. Apart from the inn problem.

 

(I think the word you're looking for is spelled "knackered", by the way.)

I thought "nakkeret" is Danish for "empty pockets and empty brain"

[Nielsen74]

And the right one to download is???

 

Windows (32-bit):

 

DarkRadiant 0.9.10 Installer

DarkRadiant 0.9.10 ZIP

[Fidcal]

Use either; they are the same version. Some people prefer a program to automatically install (a self-extracting archive) while others prefer an ordinary zip archive and extract it themselves.

Ok thanks to your advice Im a littel further

Bud when I try to press the OK button to run the editor I get a massage that DrakRadiant has stopde working and windows need to close the program!!!

All I´v installde is Doom3+patch and DarkRadiant, do I need to install The Den or The Tears of St. Lucia

 

the Game Settings looks like this:

 

Select a Game: Doom3

Engine path: C:/Program Files/Doom 3/

Mod (fs_game): darkmod

Mod Base (fs_game_base, optional): BLANK do I need to write anything her?

If you don't have Thiefs Den or Saint Lucia installed, then you don't put anything in the fs_game section, because you don't have darkmod installed...so there is no mod directory for dark radiant to access. Once you install Thiefs Den or Saint Lucia, you will type the directory name that the mission is installed. Either Thiefs Den or Saint Lucia....which ever one you install. You have to type it exactly as it is spelled in the mission folder.

 

You would only be typing darkmod if you actually had the full darkmod repository.

[Nielsen74]

the Game Settings should look like this then with The Tears of St. Lucia installede

 

Select a Game: Doom3

Engine path: C:/Program Files/Doom 3/

Mod (fs_game): saintlucia

Mod Base (fs_game_base, optional):

Yup, that should be right. As long as your saintlucia folder is all lower case too, that should do it.

I still get a massage that DrakRadiant has stopde working and windows need to close the program, if I press the OK button bud if I insted press the Cansel button the I get a window like this

 

Warning

Can you post a screen shot of your folder structure so we can make sure everything is in the right place?

[Nielsen74]

Her you go

Hmm - saintlucia looks like it's in the right place. The only odd thing I can see there is that you've put DarkRadiant inside the Doom 3 folder. I don't know why that would be an issue, but it is unusual. Maybe try uninstalling DarkRadiant and then reinstall it somewhere outside the Doom 3 folder?

[greebo]

Ordinarily, this should not be a problem, even if DarkRadiant was within the mod folder itself. Not that I would do it for myself, but it shouldn't cause any issues either.

[Nielsen74]

Well it might do a drifference I uninstallede it all and startede over, but installede dark in it´s oven folder and now it works fine Thanks for all your help
