Issues and Fixes
- TweakGuides has created a comprehensive guide for fixing issues in this game. It can be found here.
Linux Installation
To install Doom 3 on Linux create a doom3 directory and then copy the following retail pk4 files to your doom3/base directory:
- base/pak000.pk4
- base/pak001.pk4
- base/pak002.pk4
- base/pak003.pk4
- base/pak004.pk4
If installing the expansion pack you must also copy the following retail pk4 to your doom3/d3xp directory:
- d3xp/pak000.pk4
After copying all pk4 files to your hard drive run the linux patch and direct it to your doom3 directory. You can start the game with the command: doom3. To launch the expansion use: doom3 +set fs_game d3xp
For Arch Linux, two PKGBUILDs are available in the AUR for Doom 3; one that builds from source and one that provides a binary (if keeping to the Arch Way, you should prefer to build from source).
Do note that OSS has been disabled in later Ubuntu distros, and it is not likely that sound will work correctly (if at all).
Mod Support
Doom 3 has a small, but very knowledgeable mod community that is still very active and covers most id tech based games.
Tools and Information
- Doom 3 World - An unofficial id tech community
- Modwiki - An unofficial id tech informational wiki run by members of Doom 3 World
- iddevnet - Official, but limited, Doom 3/Quake 4 informational site
Doom 3 Mod Lists
- Moddb - Best for still active mods
- Planetdoom - Some Doom 3 news and archives of non-active Doom 3 mods
- D3files - Mostly for archives of non-active Doom 3 mods
Total Conversions
The Dark Mod is a total conversion for Doom 3, turning it into a dark and moody stealth game inspired by the Thief series.
Open Source Engine
The source code to the engine was released under the GPL license in November 2011. There have since been several modifications. You can view the different branches and changes, as well as download them, from the github repository, if you are willing to compile the code yourself. The same group that worked on ioquake3 has said they will add features to the code and release compiled binaries under the title iodoom3. You will have to obtain the art assets separately.
Another available source port is dhewm3, which adds 64-bit support, EFX on all platforms, and other features.
