Many are critical. It's a huge task to replace them and we don't have enough manpower to do everything as soon as we'd like. We have to give priority to essentials first.

We've discussed the issue on our forums before (here is the most recent: (
http://modetwo.net/darkmod/index.php?showtopic=8782)).
The summary is, everyone agrees it would be ideal to make TDM standalone when the source is released, but there are hundreds of D3 assets used in TDM. We would have to replace every one of them in order to provide a complete standalone version (not counting any coding work). There are varying estimates about how realistic this is, but it at the very least it isn't something we're going to start working on any time soon.

I see. Thanks for explaining.;)
Oh well, "I have no quarrel with you good sir knight." I already own doom 3, so it's not problem. And really, it shouldn't cost people much to get a copy anyway.

Realistically, I think replacing the d3 assets would be a great place for the community to start kicking in some help when we release our Beta 1.0 version. When the source is released, the mod would essentially be ready to prepare as a stand alone. Our team has done the heavy lifting, so it shouldn't take the community long to replace those assets.

Is there a install tut for Doom3+patch and TDM for dummies anywhere? The wiki for Dark is to confuseing for my :o
There is a good tut for Thief2+patch and dromEd that leads one by the hand :D (like install Thief2 then patch then install DromEd then patch (with links to patchs and Editor))
Ove and I got to say that Im running Windows Vista :grr: on a Intel Duo core processor P8400

I hope the mod gets released in the next couple of months...Since I cannot play Thief1/2 FM's I am getting ready for some Dark mod ones...

Not to derail the thread. Why can't you play Thief FM's? Have you tried to get help?

Not quite. But we're aiming for this year.

And of course, every time someone makes a surprising breakthrough, it can have a ripple-effect that leads to more work than was anticipated, in a good way.:angel:

Well, good and complex work takes time. After all, TDM is planned to become not just a mod, but a full editing platform that will stay valid for several years... better a delay than a rushed release. :cool:
