modding Doom 3

[briantrepanier]

I made mods (Bubba LEGO-Tep, Duck Nukem, Daikatana 2...) and tutorials for Doom 3 years ago (go to trepaning.com and go to the end of the videos for tutorials). I am looking to make a new mod, so need to get Doom 3 on my system again, but my version is on disks and my computer no longer has a disk drive. Where can I get a version of D3 with 3.1 update and the editor to install and work with? Thanks for any info.

Hey sir, you're a blast from the past! I salute you.

 

You can get all version of Doom 3 on https://www.gog.com/en/game/doom_3 and https://store.steampowered.com/app/208200/DOOM_3/. And for the latest modding tools and knowledge I recommend joining the idtech4 discord server: https://discord.gg/B2nvy55k, where the D3 modding has its hub as of today.

thanks a bunch, greatly appreciated. Just grabbed the latest Blender md5 export, so this may be easier than expected. Here is where my prior monstrosities can be found https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1fXTmJLpEH2L-ToRVKgr2GDbAke42lKO_?usp=sharing

look who has made it into Blender almost 2 decades since he first appeared.

this type of quality is just not found in today's games.

John Romero...

 

I remember Duck Nukem and that Lego Elvis mod. Your creativity always impressed me, all the little things you inlcuded, a dancing zombie, new monsters with a TV screen showing weird stuff, a KISS concert... But I always thought: he could do really cool content with his skills, not only joke mods.

as of a few moments ago, I have successfully exported an md5mesh and created a first room as I reacquaint myself with the process, so who knows what seriousness my skills may release. And learning Doom 3 is perfectly good for VR headsets opens up new considerations.

 

Daikatana 2: first result of learning to mod.

Chess: learning to make a multiplayer mod.

Duck Nukem: a repository of tests while learning custom monsters, wrapped in an awesome story.

Bob Sapp UFC Battle: quick mod for the purpose of creating a single-player template.

Bubba LEGO-Tep: a birthday gift for my brother.

Oh wow I remember Daikatana 2 lol. It still pops up in my mind ocasionally. 

[briantrepanier]

got static mesh (the box) and 2 animated meshes from Blender into D3, so getting back on track. No monsters yet, but this is a good start. Took 14 hours to realize a missing parentheses in the script was preventing the cylinder from showing up. Afterwards, it took about 20 minutes to get Einstein in.

Great, you're all set!

[briantrepanier]

Have rudimentary monster capabilities once again, so yes, all set, thanks for the assistance, bought D3 from the GOG link.
