The Dark Mod
Doom III mod | Released Oct 16, 2009
Stealth Gaming in a Gothic Steampunk World
“this is splendid….it’s basically Thief…but in Doom 3.”
–Rock, Paper, Shotgun
THE DARK MOD is a total conversion of Doom 3, inspired by the "Thief" series by Looking Glass Studios.
More like a professional game release than a mod, it includes creative new gameplay features, dozens of unique AI, and a complete set of custom art assets, allowing players and mappers alike to enjoy missions in a gothic steampunk universe. When you play The Dark Mod, you feel like you’re playing a gothic stealth game…there’s nothing left that’s recognizable from Doom 3.
This mod is first and foremost a toolkit, allowing fans and team-members to create their own stealth missions in a gothic steampunk environment. But there are already 60 full missions for download, including some small campaigns, so it certainly feels like a game. The only difference is that you have to choose which missions to install and play.
Setting:
The Dark Mod world can be viewed as an alternate version of our own. It is a mixture of several historical periods, with architecture ranging from medieval castles to Victorian mansions. In this world, steam and clockwork technology were discovered much earlier in history, allowing for odd inventions and industrial warehouses to exist side-by-side with Gothic cathedrals and sword-wielding city watch.
Editor:
We also maintain our own mission editor, called Dark Radiant. It is an updated version of GTKRadiant, and has a lot new features (Python scripting support, many bug-fixes, new Particle preview, Texture Tool etc.) and comes with a number of Dark Mod related plug-ins like an Objectives or Conversation editor.

Latest News: The Phrase Book has been released!

The Phrase Book
Acclaimed mission author Sotha has released the 5th mission (excluding the excellent prequel "Mandrasola") in his Thomas Porter series. The mission makes use of many TDM v1.07 features and will be enhanced by v1.08 to use the new Dropped Object KO mechanic.
Briefing:
My situation seems rather bleak. The haunting from the Glenham Tower,
the Hag, seems to be determined to do me in. She has attacked me a few
times already, but so far I've managed escape with my life. I must stop
these attacks before she succeeds in whatever that may be her sinister
plans.
I believe everything is tied to this strange book, De Vermis Mysteriis,
which I obtained from the tower. The book is written by some unknown
language that I cannot understand, but somehow I am certain that the
answer to my predicament is hidden within the dusty pages of this tome.
It may very well be that the Hag is after me because I possess this
book. Can the dead be afraid of what is written on these dusty pages? I
need to find out everything I can...
Author Notes:
If you find something called "softened lead ball" do note that it will
not KO AI in TDM 1.07. Once 1.08 comes with its new features, the ball
should work. While waiting for 1.08, the ball might still work as a
distraction.
The mission uses heavily RITs, so guard activity should be more interesting and challenging.
The mission randomizes the location of few critical objects upon map
start, so that coupled with the AI RIT behavior the mission should be
more replayable than any other missions TDM has seen thus far.
(RIT stands for "Random Interesting Things" a phrase coined by Sotha to describe his method of making branched and random or semi-random patrols to increase the challenge, improve replay value and make the AI seem more natural.)

"Thief2 - The Metal Age" has a great Cooperative modification. I know that the game was designed originally to a Single Player game, but cannot say how excelent experience to play with your friend(s) the original and the FM-maps. (You can KO the AI while he attack to your friend, so ou have to use some new tactic)
I hope some day this great mod will have a coop-version.
Given the scope of the entire Dark Mod project, the team had early-on settled for Single Player as the only target. Even then, the odds of completing the work were low. The Dark Mod's SDK code was stripped of any multi-player components so that it would be easier to trouble-shoot bugs and track-down included components. Now that the mod is nearly feature-complete, if some developer wants to create a multi-player branch it would be an easier task than starting from scratch. The current TDM team is very small so it's unlikely they would add that feature without gaining more coders to help. Please stop by The Dark Mod forums if you wish to contribute. (Or just to discuss TDM in general)
I tried to play the mod and loaded both the app and from the Doom 3 mod selector but when i load it up, a weird noise pops up on the start up and then it says that it doesnt load with something about the library and that it is terminated in an unusual way. What's the problem with this? I dont get it, i really want to play this mod and it wont let me -_- Please help me out here...
Do you have the 1.3.1 1304 patch applied?
What video card do you have?
If it's ATI you may need to disable Catalyst AI or "Surface Format Optimizations" depending on your driver.
Where did you place your "darkmod" directory?
Oh sorry :P I forgot to do the updater XP It works perfectly fine now thank you anyway :D Although i need a little more help i installed Dark Radiant and tried to open a prefab but for some unknown reason prefab folder wasn't even there which could possibly mean that i cant even place a skybox or anything -_- I know i may be asking a little much but can you please put up a download with the prefab folder please. Im pretty sure other people have had this problem.
Sorry for the delay. You just need to extract the contents of the "tdm_prefabs01.pk4" to a folder of your choice.
Ah right thank you, this was really helpful :) I just used Winrar to extract it thank you for all the help If i need any more help i wont bother you on here instead i'll do it through the TDM site thank you and i do very much enjoy this mod :D
To be honest i havent played this mod yet but it somehow reminds me of Oblivion :/
Thank you! Finally i can play this epic mod. I owe you one :)
Haha no problem :)
