Hi,

 

just some questions which i couldnt find fast with the search engine. i'm thinking of buying doom 3 cause of this mod..

 

so, is it in any way preferable to have the doom 3 expansion also installed? and does tdm work with the german version of doom 3 as good as with the english one?

 

Thank you for a friendly answer.

We're not using any language-specific game content like D3 voice sounds, so in actual TDM gameplay there won't be a difference, I think.

 

However, some main menu GUI strings and buttons might be missing in the German language file. I don't have access to a German version of the game anyway, so somebody else would need to check this out.

I am using the German version and it works just fine, except that everything is in English in TDM :)

As far as I know you can order it online relatively easy (proof of age 18). And I believe there is no special german version. It just comes with a translated manual.

I thought you couldn't even get Doom 3 in Germany, because it might hurt people's feelings and that is now a crime according to modern politicians.

 

The game is +18, so it is not available on ebay, and not in online shops as a used version.

 

You can only buy it:

 

* via Steam. This means you need a credit card *and* be over 18, too. (You also might get a "cut" version but I am not sure)

* online as the retail version, but that is no longer possible (since D3 is only sold on Steam, see above).

* drive over the border and buy it there, or order it online from someplace else (which becomes rather hard with so many shops now checking your IP and delivering you a "german" version of their shop :(

 

You might be able to get a "bargain bin version" somehow, but these are rather rare (and/or non-existing).

Are you sure about that? I think you can still buy it online without problems (if you're 18).

I don't think any online shop besides steam carriers it, but the 18+ applies, anyway. (And buying online +18 alway entails registering and extra costs just for registering yourself with the store. I think it is 2 or 5 € extra plus some stuff like mailing in a form or a copy of your ID papers).

Ah, yes, the Saturn version must be new, I remember now a collegue of mine told me he bought it a few weeks ago, but I forgot whether it was on Steam or in a shop and assumed it was via Steam (as I know he has Steam and already asked me if TDM runs on the Steam version :)

 

After v1.0 I can convince him to try TDM :)

      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.
