Fan Missions for The Dark Mod

2010-05-06T10:48:26Z

MrLemonyFresh:

Following is what should be (provided the community keeps the list up to date) the definitive list of every fan mission ever released for The Dark Mod.
* Only include missions that are fully released, not those currently in development or testing.
* List by release date descending (newest at the top). To change the order while viewing, click on [Image:http://modetwo.net/darkmod/wiki/skins/common/images/sort_none.gif] to sort by that column.
* A mission title may be listed in plain text as a record of release, or may optionally act as a link to an information page or primary direct download.
* '''Big Ugly Disclaimer:''' The Dark Mod team does not necessarily support or endorse content listed here.

FAQ

2010-04-23T07:42:22Z

MrLemonyFresh: /* Upside-down screen */

{{important|headline=Important|text=This FAQ relates to the full TDM release version only. For players of the pre-release demos such as '''[[Thief's Den]]''' and '''[[Saint_Lucia|Tears of Saint Lucia]]''' please refer to the '''[[FAQ (Demo Releases)|Demo FAQ]]'''.'''}}

== What Doom versions are supported? ==

=== Can I use the Demo version of Doom 3? ===

No, sorry.

=== Does it run with the Steam version of Doom 3? ===

Yes :) You need to install the mod into the directory where Steam put Doom3, this might be under:

C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\doom 3

or a similiar folder.

'''Important:''' Create a shortcut on your desktop and set it to the following:

steam.exe -applaunch 9050 +set fs_game_base darkmod

This ensures that when you start Steam, it will launch TDM and not Doom 3 without TDM.

== Patching Doom 3 to verson 1.3.1.1304 ==

=== How can I check whether my Doom 3 is correctly patched? ===

Open Doom 3 and hit {{key|Ctrl}}+{{key|Alt}}+{{key|~}} (tilde, {{key|^}} on German keyboards) to open the console. You'll see the version printed in the lower left corner of the console. It should read '''1.3.1.1304'''. If your version is ending on 1302, you've got the wrong patch installed.

=== Where can I get the right patch? ===

We have the patch hosted on our FTP. See the [[Installation]] article to find a link to it.

If you have version 1.3.1.1302, you may need to uninstall and reinstall before patch 1.3.1.1304 will let you apply it.

=== What's that issue with the 1.3.1 patch? ===

When the 1.3.1 patch was released by Id, they released it a bit too early. Some download sites picked it up quite fast though and started to distribute it. The problem is, that Id replaced that patch with a different one, and, probably thinking that it hadn't spread yet, didn't bother to change the version number. However, you can still find "wrong" 1.3.1 patches and these will not work with the mod. That's why it is important to check the version number in the console to make sure that the right 1.3.1 patch is installed if the mod doesn't work. The link provided here on our own page points to the correct patch, so if you downloaded it from here you don't need to worry about it.

== Supported Operating Systems ==

=== Which Windows versions can I use? ===

Doom 3 needs at least Windows XP or Windows 2000. Saint Lucia was successfully run under Windows XP and Vista. Support for 64 bit Windows or Windows 2000 was not tested.

=== Does it run in Linux? ===
Yes, Linux is supported.
=== Does it run in 64 Bit Linux? ===
Yes, Linux 64 bit is supported. In addition to the steps above, you need 32 bit compatibility libraries, since Doom3 is 32 bit only:
* On '''SuSE''', they should be included.
* On Ubuntu/Kubuntu, install the package '''ia32'''.

For TDM after 1.0, this step should be '''no''' longer neccessary:

* Since you cannot install 32 bit libraries on a 64 bit system with the normal package manager, you should use [http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=474790 getlibs] to install '''libmng''' and the boost filesystem lib:
:<code>getlibs libmng.so.1</code>
:<code>getlibs -l libboost-filesystem1.34.1</code>

=== What about Gentoo? ===
Yes. It's not "officially" supported (the team doesn't test it specifically), however several users have reported success running TDM under Gentoo.

=== What about Ubuntu 8.10? ===
Yes. As of this writing you will need to install the '''libboost-filesystem''' package.

=== GLIBCXX_3.4.9 errors ===

If you receive an error about <tt>GLIBCXX_3.4.9</tt>, delete or rename the files <code>/usr/local/games/doom3/libstdc++.so.6</code> and <code>/usr/local/games/doom3/libgcc_s.so.1.</code>

If this doesn't resolve the error and you have an old version of GCC, then you may have to upgrade. It has been [http://modetwo.net/darkmod/index.php?/topic/9982-the-dark-mod-doom3-in-linux/ confirmed] that, at least under Gentoo, GCC 4.1 does not work with TDM but GCC 4.3 and GCC 4.4 are compatible.

=== Does it run on Mac OS X?===
No. Or at least not yet. The Doom 3 game itself does support Mac OS X, but The Dark Mod currently does not because we don't have any developers who use Macs. If you can help us getting it to run on OS X, please [http://modetwo.net/darkmod/index.php?showforum=11 let us know on the forum].

Since TDM works on Linux already, getting it working on OS X should not be too difficult for anyone with experience programming for that platform. In theory it's just a question of figuring out how to build the mod, sorting out dependencies, and writing a few pieces of platform-specific code.

== Graphics ==

=== Does TDM support widescreen resolutions? ===

Yes. Choose "16:9" or "16:10" in the in-game ''Settings'' menu, and select the appropriate resolution. Note that you need to restart the game to have the new setting in effect.

If the native resolution of your wide screen monitor is not listed, you can enter it into '''DoomConfig.cfg''' by changing the following entries like so:

set r_mode -1
set r_customwidth 1280
set r_customheight 800

Note that if you get performance problems, it might be better to halve the resolution in both directions. Please see also [[Performance Tweaks]].

== Troubleshooting ==

It is hard to answer question on why something fails, because wildly different systems cause wildy different symptoms. If the following section does not help you, please ask at out our [http://www.modetwo.net/darkmod forums].

=== Updater (tdm_update.exe) closes almost as soon as it's started ===

See the [[Tdm_update#Updater_closes_almost_as_soon_as_it.27s_started|main article on tdm_update]].

=== FM downloaded but won't play ===

If you have downloaded an FM you might see it in the New Missions List but can't get it to play. These are almost always an install problem. These are some of the causes and cures:

FMs (fan missions) are archives and MUST be suffixed .pk4 not zip. Apparently Internet Explorer 8 may change it from pk4 to zip during download without telling you. You need to rename it back.

You MUST use doom3\darkmod\tdmlauncher.exe to run Dark Mod in Windows and NOT Doom3.exe.

You do NOT need to extract the pk4 archives to install or play. Just download into or move the pk4 into the darkmod\fms folder. Optionally you can create a folder of the same name as the map and put it in there, eg, darkmod\fms\chalice but there is no need because Dark Mod will create that automatically. Just make sure your pk4 goes, unopened, into the fms folder then run tdmlauncher.exe

If you have done the above but see for example, a blank objectives screen and no briefing then it is still almost certainly an install error. I recommend you do a clean sweep if in doubt:
* exit Dark Mod
* delete doom3\darkmod\currentfm.txt (this just uninstalls any FM)
* Delete the map game folder (if any) This is NOT the folder in fms but the folder in doom3 of the same name as the FM, eg, doom3\chalice. Note: this has savegames and screenshots in so check and move them out if you want to preserve them. However, if you can't get the game to play it's likely you don't have any yet. If you can't see the folder don't worry. The folder name is normally the same as the pk4 but it might not be. Strictly speaking it must be the same as the name in startingmap.txt inside the pk4 archive. You might see this file in fms.
* Move the pk4 into the darkmod\fms folder if it is not already there.
* Delete the darkmod\fms\FMname folder if any, eg, darkmod\fms\chalice. Don't worry if there isn't one; it will be created automatically later.

So all that is left is the pk4 in the fms folder. Now run tdmlauncher.exe. The FM should be in the list in the New Missions menu. Re-install it and you should now be able to play it.

=== The game crashes on load ===
Make sure that:
* You installed [[#Patching_Doom_3_to_verson_1.3.1.1304|the correct version]] of the Doom 3 1.3.1 patch.
* Your system meets at least the minimum system specs.
* You have enough free main memory. Try closing a few running programs like Outlook, Anti-Virus or torrent clients.

==== Unknown event 'moveToCoverFrom'" ====
If you get a message like:

ERROR: Error: file script\doom_events.script, line 1038: Unknown event 'moveToCoverFrom'

or see this in the log:

found DLL in pak file: C:\Program Files\Doom 3\darkmod\tdm_game01.pk4/gamex86.dll
copy gamex86.dll to C:\Program Files\Doom 3\darkmod\gamex86.dll
could not create destination file

then try extracting that gamex86.dll manually from '''tdm_game01.pk4''' with Winzip or a similiar program into that folder.

The reason is very probably that you installed Doom3 into a folder with a space in it, and it seems Doom3 does not like that. Sorry.

=== Unknown event 'setEntityRelation' ===
The game is crashing to a small blue screen on startup:

[[Image:ErrorSetEntityRelation.jpg]]

The reason for this error is most likely an old version of gamex86.dll (or gamex86.so) lying around in your Doom 3 folder. Delete that file and try again.

=== Textures are missing, screen mostly black ===

[[Image:Tdm missing textures.jpg|right|240px|Black textures]]

Look into your '''DoomConfig.cfg''' inside your <tt>darkmod</tt> folder and check that the
following settings are like shown below:

<pre style="max-width:35em">
seta image_usePrecompressedTextures "1"
seta image_useNormalCompression "2"
seta image_useAllFormats "1"
seta image_useCompression "0"
seta image_preload "1"
</pre>

=== The briefing is very fuzzy ===

Look into your '''DoomConfig.cfg''' inside your <tt>darkmod</tt> folder and check that the
following settings are like shown below:

seta image_roundDown "1"
seta image_forceDownSize "0"
seta image_downSize "0"

=== The sky is corrupted ===

You either see black sky, or fragments of other textures. This seems only to happen on Geforce 6800 cards.

There are two fixes for this:

As a quick fix you can rename the following folder:

env/skyboxes/skybox_darkland_ne

to an different name. That will result in black sky.

Alternatively, edit the file <tt>materials/tdm_sky.mtr</tt> with '''Wordpad''' or a different editor and
find the sky material named '''textures/darkmod/nature/skybox/skybox_darkland_NE''':

<pre>
//Author: Dram
//skybox_ocean with ocean replaced with dark land
//Moon moved to north east by Fidcal
textures/darkmod/nature/skybox/skybox_darkland_NE
{
qer_editorimage env/skyboxes/skybox_ocean/ocean_ed
noFragment
noshadows
noimpact
nooverlays
forceOpaque
{
forceHighQuality
blend add
cameraCubeMap env/skyboxes/skybox_darkland_ne/darkland_NE
texgen skybox
texgen wobblesky .0 .0 .0
}
}
</pre>

In this declaration, comment out the line that reads '''forceHighQuality''' by adding <tt>//</tt> in front of it:

// forceHighQuality

That should fix the sky and make it render correctly.

=== Sky rotates ===

If you see the sky spinning it may be an ATI graphics card problem. One report says this was cured by turning off Catalyst AI. Also gives better loading times and cures bloom problem.

=== Bloom problems ===

If have a problem with bloom it may be an ATI graphics card problem. One report says this was cured by turning off Catalyst AI. Also gives better loading times and cures spinning sky problem.

=== The game is '''very''' slow! ===

If you get loading times of 5 minutes or more, less than 10 FPS, or the game even stutters, please try this:

Look into your '''DoomConfig.cfg''' inside your <tt>darkmod</tt> folder and check that the
following settings are like shown below:

<pre style="max-width:35em">
seta image_usePrecompressedTextures "1"
seta image_useNormalCompression "2"
seta image_useAllFormats "1"
seta image_useCompression "1"
seta image_preload "1"
</pre>

If that doesn't help, your system might run out of memory. Either upgrade to more than 1 Gbyte memory,
or try to close some other applications before playing.

Please see also the article about [[Performance Tweaks]] to improve the performance.

=== Slow loading times ===

If you find an FM is very slow to load it may be an ATI graphics card problem. One report says this was cured by turning off Catalyst AI. Also cures bloom and spinning sky problem.

===Underwater performance poor===

If you get very low framerates underwater then try turning off bloom.

===Upside-down screen===

If you get an upside-down screen, you can either turn off Catalyst AI if you have an ati card or try turning off bloom.

To turn off Catalyst AI, open your Catylist control panel, go to 'graphics' up the top left, select '3d' from the dropdown list and on the new menu below, select the 'AI'
Now select the 'Disable Catalyst A.I.' checkbox.

To turn off bloom, enter the console and type "set r_bloom 0" (remove quotes)
Then type "vid_restart" (remove quotes) to refresh the graphics.

===Game freezes for several seconds when opening doors===
Solution to problems:

A) "game freezes and loads some data from hard drive while opening doors"

B) "while loading mission you are returned to the menu and need to restart loading"

is
DISABLE EAX 4.0 HD in Audio Settings menu.

===Game exits to menu after mission load, with renderpipe error in console===

'''Symptoms:''' Missions are installed properly and will load, but after they reach 100% you are returned to the main menu or objectives screen. If you open the console (Ctrl-Alt-~ on US keyboards), you see one/both of these errors:

ERROR: Failed to open \\.\pipe\dm_renderpipe

or

ERROR: idRenderSystemLocal::uncrop currentcrop <1

'''Solution:''' Some firewalls, notably ''Sunbelt Firewall'' (aka ''Kerio Firewall'') are known to interfere with TDM's lightgem, ''even when "disabled"''. To fix this problem, completely uninstall the firewall, and get a different one instead.

==="COULD NOT FIND TDMLAUNCHER" when installing an FM===

If you receive this error message you should check the start-arguments of DOOM3.exe / tdmlauncher.exe. Arguments are stored in darkmod/dmargs.txt and a faulty syntax e.g. a missing "+" before a "set"-command, will lead to this error message. Steam-users are advised to remove any launch-options from Doom.

== Known bugs ==
See article [[Known Bugs]].

=== Changing the screen resolution/aspect ratio does nothing!? ===
These changes require a restart of Doom to work.

=== Steam launches D3, not TDM ===

Whenever you start Steam and it does launch vanilla Doom instead of TDM, make sure you
follow this advice:

'''Important:''' Create a shortcut on your desktop and set it to the following:

steam.exe -applaunch 9050 +set fs_game_base darkmod

This ensures that when you start Steam, it will launch TDM and not Doom 3 without TDM.

FAQ

2010-04-23T07:41:52Z

MrLemonyFresh: /* Upside-down screen */

{{important|headline=Important|text=This FAQ relates to the full TDM release version only. For players of the pre-release demos such as '''[[Thief's Den]]''' and '''[[Saint_Lucia|Tears of Saint Lucia]]''' please refer to the '''[[FAQ (Demo Releases)|Demo FAQ]]'''.'''}}

== What Doom versions are supported? ==

=== Can I use the Demo version of Doom 3? ===

No, sorry.

=== Does it run with the Steam version of Doom 3? ===

Yes :) You need to install the mod into the directory where Steam put Doom3, this might be under:

C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\doom 3

or a similiar folder.

'''Important:''' Create a shortcut on your desktop and set it to the following:

steam.exe -applaunch 9050 +set fs_game_base darkmod

This ensures that when you start Steam, it will launch TDM and not Doom 3 without TDM.

== Patching Doom 3 to verson 1.3.1.1304 ==

=== How can I check whether my Doom 3 is correctly patched? ===

Open Doom 3 and hit {{key|Ctrl}}+{{key|Alt}}+{{key|~}} (tilde, {{key|^}} on German keyboards) to open the console. You'll see the version printed in the lower left corner of the console. It should read '''1.3.1.1304'''. If your version is ending on 1302, you've got the wrong patch installed.

=== Where can I get the right patch? ===

We have the patch hosted on our FTP. See the [[Installation]] article to find a link to it.

If you have version 1.3.1.1302, you may need to uninstall and reinstall before patch 1.3.1.1304 will let you apply it.

=== What's that issue with the 1.3.1 patch? ===

When the 1.3.1 patch was released by Id, they released it a bit too early. Some download sites picked it up quite fast though and started to distribute it. The problem is, that Id replaced that patch with a different one, and, probably thinking that it hadn't spread yet, didn't bother to change the version number. However, you can still find "wrong" 1.3.1 patches and these will not work with the mod. That's why it is important to check the version number in the console to make sure that the right 1.3.1 patch is installed if the mod doesn't work. The link provided here on our own page points to the correct patch, so if you downloaded it from here you don't need to worry about it.

== Supported Operating Systems ==

=== Which Windows versions can I use? ===

Doom 3 needs at least Windows XP or Windows 2000. Saint Lucia was successfully run under Windows XP and Vista. Support for 64 bit Windows or Windows 2000 was not tested.

=== Does it run in Linux? ===
Yes, Linux is supported.
=== Does it run in 64 Bit Linux? ===
Yes, Linux 64 bit is supported. In addition to the steps above, you need 32 bit compatibility libraries, since Doom3 is 32 bit only:
* On '''SuSE''', they should be included.
* On Ubuntu/Kubuntu, install the package '''ia32'''.

For TDM after 1.0, this step should be '''no''' longer neccessary:

* Since you cannot install 32 bit libraries on a 64 bit system with the normal package manager, you should use [http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=474790 getlibs] to install '''libmng''' and the boost filesystem lib:
:<code>getlibs libmng.so.1</code>
:<code>getlibs -l libboost-filesystem1.34.1</code>

=== What about Gentoo? ===
Yes. It's not "officially" supported (the team doesn't test it specifically), however several users have reported success running TDM under Gentoo.

=== What about Ubuntu 8.10? ===
Yes. As of this writing you will need to install the '''libboost-filesystem''' package.

=== GLIBCXX_3.4.9 errors ===

If you receive an error about <tt>GLIBCXX_3.4.9</tt>, delete or rename the files <code>/usr/local/games/doom3/libstdc++.so.6</code> and <code>/usr/local/games/doom3/libgcc_s.so.1.</code>

If this doesn't resolve the error and you have an old version of GCC, then you may have to upgrade. It has been [http://modetwo.net/darkmod/index.php?/topic/9982-the-dark-mod-doom3-in-linux/ confirmed] that, at least under Gentoo, GCC 4.1 does not work with TDM but GCC 4.3 and GCC 4.4 are compatible.

=== Does it run on Mac OS X?===
No. Or at least not yet. The Doom 3 game itself does support Mac OS X, but The Dark Mod currently does not because we don't have any developers who use Macs. If you can help us getting it to run on OS X, please [http://modetwo.net/darkmod/index.php?showforum=11 let us know on the forum].

Since TDM works on Linux already, getting it working on OS X should not be too difficult for anyone with experience programming for that platform. In theory it's just a question of figuring out how to build the mod, sorting out dependencies, and writing a few pieces of platform-specific code.

== Graphics ==

=== Does TDM support widescreen resolutions? ===

Yes. Choose "16:9" or "16:10" in the in-game ''Settings'' menu, and select the appropriate resolution. Note that you need to restart the game to have the new setting in effect.

If the native resolution of your wide screen monitor is not listed, you can enter it into '''DoomConfig.cfg''' by changing the following entries like so:

set r_mode -1
set r_customwidth 1280
set r_customheight 800

Note that if you get performance problems, it might be better to halve the resolution in both directions. Please see also [[Performance Tweaks]].

== Troubleshooting ==

It is hard to answer question on why something fails, because wildly different systems cause wildy different symptoms. If the following section does not help you, please ask at out our [http://www.modetwo.net/darkmod forums].

=== Updater (tdm_update.exe) closes almost as soon as it's started ===

See the [[Tdm_update#Updater_closes_almost_as_soon_as_it.27s_started|main article on tdm_update]].

=== FM downloaded but won't play ===

If you have downloaded an FM you might see it in the New Missions List but can't get it to play. These are almost always an install problem. These are some of the causes and cures:

FMs (fan missions) are archives and MUST be suffixed .pk4 not zip. Apparently Internet Explorer 8 may change it from pk4 to zip during download without telling you. You need to rename it back.

You MUST use doom3\darkmod\tdmlauncher.exe to run Dark Mod in Windows and NOT Doom3.exe.

You do NOT need to extract the pk4 archives to install or play. Just download into or move the pk4 into the darkmod\fms folder. Optionally you can create a folder of the same name as the map and put it in there, eg, darkmod\fms\chalice but there is no need because Dark Mod will create that automatically. Just make sure your pk4 goes, unopened, into the fms folder then run tdmlauncher.exe

If you have done the above but see for example, a blank objectives screen and no briefing then it is still almost certainly an install error. I recommend you do a clean sweep if in doubt:
* exit Dark Mod
* delete doom3\darkmod\currentfm.txt (this just uninstalls any FM)
* Delete the map game folder (if any) This is NOT the folder in fms but the folder in doom3 of the same name as the FM, eg, doom3\chalice. Note: this has savegames and screenshots in so check and move them out if you want to preserve them. However, if you can't get the game to play it's likely you don't have any yet. If you can't see the folder don't worry. The folder name is normally the same as the pk4 but it might not be. Strictly speaking it must be the same as the name in startingmap.txt inside the pk4 archive. You might see this file in fms.
* Move the pk4 into the darkmod\fms folder if it is not already there.
* Delete the darkmod\fms\FMname folder if any, eg, darkmod\fms\chalice. Don't worry if there isn't one; it will be created automatically later.

So all that is left is the pk4 in the fms folder. Now run tdmlauncher.exe. The FM should be in the list in the New Missions menu. Re-install it and you should now be able to play it.

=== The game crashes on load ===
Make sure that:
* You installed [[#Patching_Doom_3_to_verson_1.3.1.1304|the correct version]] of the Doom 3 1.3.1 patch.
* Your system meets at least the minimum system specs.
* You have enough free main memory. Try closing a few running programs like Outlook, Anti-Virus or torrent clients.

Just make sure your pk4 goes, unopened, into the fms folder then run tdmlauncher.exe

If you have done the above but see for example, a blank objectives screen and no briefing then it is still almost certainly an install error. I recommend you do a clean sweep if in doubt:
* exit Dark Mod
* delete doom3\darkmod\currentfm.txt (this just uninstalls any FM)
* Delete the map game folder (if any) This is NOT the folder in fms but the folder in doom3 of the same name as the FM, eg, doom3\chalice. Note: this has savegames and screenshots in so check and move them out if you want to preserve them. However, if you can't get the game to play it's likely you don't have any yet. If you can't see the folder don't worry. The folder name is normally the same as the pk4 but it might not be. Strictly speaking it must be the same as the name in startingmap.txt inside the pk4 archive. You might see this file in fms.
* Move the pk4 into the darkmod\fms folder if it is not already there.
* Delete the darkmod\fms\FMname folder if any, eg, darkmod\fms\chalice. Don't worry if there isn't one; it will be created automatically later.

So all that is left is the pk4 in the fms folder. Now run tdmlauncher.exe. The FM should be in the list in the New Missions menu. Re-install it and you should now be able to play it.

=== The game crashes on load ===
Make sure that:
* You installed [[#Patching_Doom_3_to_verson_1.3.1.1304|the correct version]] of the Doom 3 1.3.1 patch.
* Your system meets at least the minimum system specs.
* You have enough free main memory. Try closing a few running programs like Outlook, Anti-Virus or torrent clients.

==== Unknown event 'moveToCoverFrom'" ====
If you get a message like:

ERROR: Error: file script\doom_events.script, line 1038: Unknown event 'moveToCoverFrom'

or see this in the log:

found DLL in pak file: C:\Program Files\Doom 3\darkmod\tdm_game01.pk4/gamex86.dll
copy gamex86.dll to C:\Program Files\Doom 3\darkmod\gamex86.dll
could not create destination file

then try extracting that gamex86.dll manually from '''tdm_game01.pk4''' with Winzip or a similiar program into that folder.

The reason is very probably that you installed Doom3 into a folder with a space in it, and it seems Doom3 does not like that. Sorry.

=== Unknown event 'setEntityRelation' ===
The game is crashing to a small blue screen on startup:

[[Image:ErrorSetEntityRelation.jpg]]

The reason for this error is most likely an old version of gamex86.dll (or gamex86.so) lying around in your Doom 3 folder. Delete that file and try again.

=== Textures are missing, screen mostly black ===

[[Image:Tdm missing textures.jpg|right|240px|Black textures]]

Look into your '''DoomConfig.cfg''' inside your <tt>darkmod</tt> folder and check that the
following settings are like shown below:

<pre style="max-width:35em">
seta image_usePrecompressedTextures "1"
seta image_useNormalCompression "2"
seta image_useAllFormats "1"
seta image_useCompression "0"
seta image_preload "1"
</pre>

=== The briefing is very fuzzy ===

Look into your '''DoomConfig.cfg''' inside your <tt>darkmod</tt> folder and check that the
following settings are like shown below:

seta image_roundDown "1"
seta image_forceDownSize "0"
seta image_downSize "0"

=== The sky is corrupted ===

You either see black sky, or fragments of other textures. This seems only to happen on Geforce 6800 cards.

There are two fixes for this:

As a quick fix you can rename the following folder:

env/skyboxes/skybox_darkland_ne

to an different name. That will result in black sky.

Alternatively, edit the file <tt>materials/tdm_sky.mtr</tt> with '''Wordpad''' or a different editor and
find the sky material named '''textures/darkmod/nature/skybox/skybox_darkland_NE''':

<pre>
//Author: Dram
//skybox_ocean with ocean replaced with dark land
//Moon moved to north east by Fidcal
textures/darkmod/nature/skybox/skybox_darkland_NE
{
qer_editorimage env/skyboxes/skybox_ocean/ocean_ed
noFragment
noshadows
noimpact
nooverlays
forceOpaque
{
forceHighQuality
blend add
cameraCubeMap env/skyboxes/skybox_darkland_ne/darkland_NE
texgen skybox
texgen wobblesky .0 .0 .0
}
}
</pre>

In this declaration, comment out the line that reads '''forceHighQuality''' by adding <tt>//</tt> in front of it:

// forceHighQuality

That should fix the sky and make it render correctly.

=== Sky rotates ===

If you see the sky spinning it may be an ATI graphics card problem. One report says this was cured by turning off Catalyst AI. Also gives better loading times and cures bloom problem.

=== Bloom problems ===

If have a problem with bloom it may be an ATI graphics card problem. One report says this was cured by turning off Catalyst AI. Also gives better loading times and cures spinning sky problem.

=== The game is '''very''' slow! ===

If you get loading times of 5 minutes or more, less than 10 FPS, or the game even stutters, please try this:

Look into your '''DoomConfig.cfg''' inside your <tt>darkmod</tt> folder and check that the
following settings are like shown below:

<pre style="max-width:35em">
seta image_usePrecompressedTextures "1"
seta image_useNormalCompression "2"
seta image_useAllFormats "1"
seta image_useCompression "1"
seta image_preload "1"
</pre>

If that doesn't help, your system might run out of memory. Either upgrade to more than 1 Gbyte memory,
or try to close some other applications before playing.

Please see also the article about [[Performance Tweaks]] to improve the performance.

=== Slow loading times ===

If you find an FM is very slow to load it may be an ATI graphics card problem. One report says this was cured by turning off Catalyst AI. Also cures bloom and spinning sky problem.

===Underwater performance poor===

If you get very low framerates underwater then try turning off bloom.

===Upside-down screen===

If you get an upside-down screen, you can either turn of Catalyst AI if you have an ati card or try turning off bloom.

To turn off Catalyst AI, open your Catylist control panel, go to 'graphics' up the top left, select '3d' from the dropdown list and on the new menu below, select the 'AI'
Now select the 'Disable Catalyst A.I.' checkbox.

To turn off, bloom enter the console and type "set r_bloom 0" (remove quotes)
Then type "vid_restart" (remove quotes) to refresh the graphics.

===Game freezes for several seconds when opening doors===
Solution to problems:

A) "game freezes and loads some data from hard drive while opening doors"

B) "while loading mission you are returned to the menu and need to restart loading"

is
DISABLE EAX 4.0 HD in Audio Settings menu.

===Game exits to menu after mission load, with renderpipe error in console===

'''Symptoms:''' Missions are installed properly and will load, but after they reach 100% you are returned to the main menu or objectives screen. If you open the console (Ctrl-Alt-~ on US keyboards), you see one/both of these errors:

ERROR: Failed to open \\.\pipe\dm_renderpipe

or

ERROR: idRenderSystemLocal::uncrop currentcrop <1

'''Solution:''' Some firewalls, notably ''Sunbelt Firewall'' (aka ''Kerio Firewall'') are known to interfere with TDM's lightgem, ''even when "disabled"''. To fix this problem, completely uninstall the firewall, and get a different one instead.

==="COULD NOT FIND TDMLAUNCHER" when installing an FM===

If you receive this error message you should check the start-arguments of DOOM3.exe / tdmlauncher.exe. Arguments are stored in darkmod/dmargs.txt and a faulty syntax e.g. a missing "+" before a "set"-command, will lead to this error message. Steam-users are advised to remove any launch-options from Doom.

== Known bugs ==
See article [[Known Bugs]].

=== Changing the screen resolution/aspect ratio does nothing!? ===
These changes require a restart of Doom to work.

=== Steam launches D3, not TDM ===

Whenever you start Steam and it does launch vanilla Doom instead of TDM, make sure you
follow this advice:

'''Important:''' Create a shortcut on your desktop and set it to the following:

steam.exe -applaunch 9050 +set fs_game_base darkmod

This ensures that when you start Steam, it will launch TDM and not Doom 3 without TDM.

FAQ

2010-04-23T07:40:34Z

MrLemonyFresh:

{{important|headline=Important|text=This FAQ relates to the full TDM release version only. For players of the pre-release demos such as '''[[Thief's Den]]''' and '''[[Saint_Lucia|Tears of Saint Lucia]]''' please refer to the '''[[FAQ (Demo Releases)|Demo FAQ]]'''.'''}}

== What Doom versions are supported? ==

=== Can I use the Demo version of Doom 3? ===

No, sorry.

=== Does it run with the Steam version of Doom 3? ===

Yes :) You need to install the mod into the directory where Steam put Doom3, this might be under:

C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\doom 3

or a similiar folder.

'''Important:''' Create a shortcut on your desktop and set it to the following:

steam.exe -applaunch 9050 +set fs_game_base darkmod

This ensures that when you start Steam, it will launch TDM and not Doom 3 without TDM.

== Patching Doom 3 to verson 1.3.1.1304 ==

=== How can I check whether my Doom 3 is correctly patched? ===

Open Doom 3 and hit {{key|Ctrl}}+{{key|Alt}}+{{key|~}} (tilde, {{key|^}} on German keyboards) to open the console. You'll see the version printed in the lower left corner of the console. It should read '''1.3.1.1304'''. If your version is ending on 1302, you've got the wrong patch installed.

=== Where can I get the right patch? ===

We have the patch hosted on our FTP. See the [[Installation]] article to find a link to it.

If you have version 1.3.1.1302, you may need to uninstall and reinstall before patch 1.3.1.1304 will let you apply it.

=== What's that issue with the 1.3.1 patch? ===

When the 1.3.1 patch was released by Id, they released it a bit too early. Some download sites picked it up quite fast though and started to distribute it. The problem is, that Id replaced that patch with a different one, and, probably thinking that it hadn't spread yet, didn't bother to change the version number. However, you can still find "wrong" 1.3.1 patches and these will not work with the mod. That's why it is important to check the version number in the console to make sure that the right 1.3.1 patch is installed if the mod doesn't work. The link provided here on our own page points to the correct patch, so if you downloaded it from here you don't need to worry about it.

== Supported Operating Systems ==

=== Which Windows versions can I use? ===

Doom 3 needs at least Windows XP or Windows 2000. Saint Lucia was successfully run under Windows XP and Vista. Support for 64 bit Windows or Windows 2000 was not tested.

=== Does it run in Linux? ===
Yes, Linux is supported.
=== Does it run in 64 Bit Linux? ===
Yes, Linux 64 bit is supported. In addition to the steps above, you need 32 bit compatibility libraries, since Doom3 is 32 bit only:
* On '''SuSE''', they should be included.
* On Ubuntu/Kubuntu, install the package '''ia32'''.

For TDM after 1.0, this step should be '''no''' longer neccessary:

* Since you cannot install 32 bit libraries on a 64 bit system with the normal package manager, you should use [http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=474790 getlibs] to install '''libmng''' and the boost filesystem lib:
:<code>getlibs libmng.so.1</code>
:<code>getlibs -l libboost-filesystem1.34.1</code>

=== What about Gentoo? ===
Yes. It's not "officially" supported (the team doesn't test it specifically), however several users have reported success running TDM under Gentoo.

=== What about Ubuntu 8.10? ===
Yes. As of this writing you will need to install the '''libboost-filesystem''' package.

=== GLIBCXX_3.4.9 errors ===

If you receive an error about <tt>GLIBCXX_3.4.9</tt>, delete or rename the files <code>/usr/local/games/doom3/libstdc++.so.6</code> and <code>/usr/local/games/doom3/libgcc_s.so.1.</code>

If this doesn't resolve the error and you have an old version of GCC, then you may have to upgrade. It has been [http://modetwo.net/darkmod/index.php?/topic/9982-the-dark-mod-doom3-in-linux/ confirmed] that, at least under Gentoo, GCC 4.1 does not work with TDM but GCC 4.3 and GCC 4.4 are compatible.

=== Does it run on Mac OS X?===
No. Or at least not yet. The Doom 3 game itself does support Mac OS X, but The Dark Mod currently does not because we don't have any developers who use Macs. If you can help us getting it to run on OS X, please [http://modetwo.net/darkmod/index.php?showforum=11 let us know on the forum].

Since TDM works on Linux already, getting it working on OS X should not be too difficult for anyone with experience programming for that platform. In theory it's just a question of figuring out how to build the mod, sorting out dependencies, and writing a few pieces of platform-specific code.

== Graphics ==

=== Does TDM support widescreen resolutions? ===

Yes. Choose "16:9" or "16:10" in the in-game ''Settings'' menu, and select the appropriate resolution. Note that you need to restart the game to have the new setting in effect.

If the native resolution of your wide screen monitor is not listed, you can enter it into '''DoomConfig.cfg''' by changing the following entries like so:

set r_mode -1
set r_customwidth 1280
set r_customheight 800

Note that if you get performance problems, it might be better to halve the resolution in both directions. Please see also [[Performance Tweaks]].

== Troubleshooting ==

It is hard to answer question on why something fails, because wildly different systems cause wildy different symptoms. If the following section does not help you, please ask at out our [http://www.modetwo.net/darkmod forums].

=== Updater (tdm_update.exe) closes almost as soon as it's started ===

See the [[Tdm_update#Updater_closes_almost_as_soon_as_it.27s_started|main article on tdm_update]].

=== FM downloaded but won't play ===

If you have downloaded an FM you might see it in the New Missions List but can't get it to play. These are almost always an install problem. These are some of the causes and cures:

FMs (fan missions) are archives and MUST be suffixed .pk4 not zip. Apparently Internet Explorer 8 may change it from pk4 to zip during download without telling you. You need to rename it back.

You MUST use doom3\darkmod\tdmlauncher.exe to run Dark Mod in Windows and NOT Doom3.exe.

You do NOT need to extract the pk4 archives to install or play. Just download into or move the pk4 into the darkmod\fms folder. Optionally you can create a folder of the same name as the map and put it in there, eg, darkmod\fms\chalice but there is no need because Dark Mod will create that automatically. Just make sure your pk4 goes, unopened, into the fms folder then run tdmlauncher.exe

If you have done the above but see for example, a blank objectives screen and no briefing then it is still almost certainly an install error. I recommend you do a clean sweep if in doubt:
* exit Dark Mod
* delete doom3\darkmod\currentfm.txt (this just uninstalls any FM)
* Delete the map game folder (if any) This is NOT the folder in fms but the folder in doom3 of the same name as the FM, eg, doom3\chalice. Note: this has savegames and screenshots in so check and move them out if you want to preserve them. However, if you can't get the game to play it's likely you don't have any yet. If you can't see the folder don't worry. The folder name is normally the same as the pk4 but it might not be. Strictly speaking it must be the same as the name in startingmap.txt inside the pk4 archive. You might see this file in fms.
* Move the pk4 into the darkmod\fms folder if it is not already there.
* Delete the darkmod\fms\FMname folder if any, eg, darkmod\fms\chalice. Don't worry if there isn't one; it will be created automatically later.

So all that is left is the pk4 in the fms folder. Now run tdmlauncher.exe. The FM should be in the list in the New Missions menu. Re-install it and you should now be able to play it.

=== The game crashes on load ===
Make sure that:
* You installed [[#Patching_Doom_3_to_verson_1.3.1.1304|the correct version]] of the Doom 3 1.3.1 patch.
* Your system meets at least the minimum system specs.
* You have enough free main memory. Try closing a few running programs like Outlook, Anti-Virus or torrent clients.
