Hey, TDM has been updated today, at its third anniversary, to the (
http://www.thedarkmod.com/main/) 1.08 version :)! The update itself is relatively small (less than 140 MB), so this won't take too long to download it.
60 FMs so far (1.5-2 times as much as Thief 3 has), and upcoming
large campaign in 2013 - not bad, if you ask me. Happy birthday and long live TDM :)!

Agreed, right now TDM forum is working smooth and nice.

Has anyone played Melan's & Bikerdude's FM "Return to the City?" (

Well, looks like iD did it again :(
The Steam version of Doom3 is now the BFG version, and it's the only one you can buy on steam. It appears to have broken the ability to play mods so be careful.
It appears that maybe you still can get the regular version, but you have to buy a $99 complete id games pack. But I can't gaurantee that it wouldn't be the BFG version either.
Best bet seems to be to find a hard copy online if you still need to buy Doom3 to play TDM.

Well that was stupid of them. The fact it's open source & can support TCs is one of the few things it has going for it these days, and that's the one thing they toss out...
Edit: On the bright side, it seems they are going to be (
http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=MTIxMDc) open-sourcing the BFG version also. So that might make it more likely TDM becomes compatible with it. And it does have some engine improvements apparently. Although with the amount of work that might take, going full-on standalone might be just as close a goal to shoot for, and much better of course.
