Entity Database

This article serves as an overview of all the Entities (animated/in-motion models and content) and Models (static, stationary models) available for mission building in The Dark Mod, via the DarkRadiant editor. Note that the editor itself doesn't house these crucial assets, it relies on the assets available in the base game.

Only the Entities and Models that are currently a part of core TDM (the base game) are listed in this database. Custom additions to Fan Missions, made by individual authors for individual missions, will not be listed here, unless they become accepted and integrated into the core game.

All of the entities and models listed in this database are current for TDM 2.05. Feel free to udpate the list full list to version 2.06 and higher whenever you'll have the time to do so.

For static/stationary models and content, please see Models and the Model Database.
