The Dark Mod
Doom III mod | Released Oct 17, 2009
In The Dark Mod, you play a master thief living in a dark, sprawling city. A blend of gothic architecture and steampunk technology, the city contains great, belching chimneys, grand cathedrals, and medieval manor-houses. As a master of the shadows, you move through the city streets unseen, avoiding the eyes (and blades) of the city's thieves' guild, while doing jobs for the various political factions. Nobles, mages or the Church, it doesn't matter, as long as the pay is good.
In technical terms, our goal is to create a complete conversion of the Doom 3 platform, turning it into a stealth-based game. We have created new and improved AI, and new models and textures that support a 'steampunk' genre made popular by Looking Glass Studio's "Thief" franchise.
This mod is, first and foremost, a toolkit. Although it ships with some playable maps, our goal is to provide people with all the tools necessary to create their own Medieval Steampunk Fan Missions.

The response to the release of The Dark Mod has been very gratifying. There have been over 3000 downloads thus far, and the vast majority of the comments we've received have been very positive. Thanks to all those who took the time to offer feedback! Rest assured, we're working on several fixes and improvements for our first update (likely due sometime before the end of the year).
Be sure to visit our forums if you're having any problems installing TDM...we've also put together a FAQ on our wiki with solutions to common problems.
In other exciting news...although it's only been two weeks, we've already released our first new Fan Mission! Demagogue is the author of "Patently Dangerous", a city mission about inventor espionage. Get it on our Downloads page, and post comments here.

I think this is the first Doom 3 mod that doesn't or rarely use the Doom 3 textures or models.
For anyone with a Radeon X1600 (Or any from that series?)
Disable your Catalyst A.I and the game works fine
Right-click desktop/Catalyst(TM)Control Center/3D/All Settings/Disable Catalyst A.I.
Apply and Ok.
Hope that help's.
I have now managed to play the mod properly after installing the zip file version of the mod. The earlier download program version was dodgy and did not work properly for me. Still, I have now played through the training mission and it looks and plays great. It is definitely more ambitious than all the other thief games. I am now playing the chalice and am stuck in the opening area. I don't know if I should be going through the door or climbing over walls. Are there any walkthroughs for these early missions?
Ghosted through The Outpost mission.
I've been a fan of Thief from 1 and 2, and I think it's a great Thief-ish mod for Doom 3.
One of the big change(from originals) I have to mention is lockpicking, but I started to feel it's fun after getting used to.
Rated 10. I look forward for more fanmissions people create in future.
Oh well, I've tried everything.
Clean restore vista (Latest drivers etc)
Doom 3 installed
Patch 1.3.1
darkmod folder to doom3 folder
Run game and it crashes on the 'please wait' screen
And it can't be my hardware cause i got duel-core and SATA 2 harddrive
Doom 3 itself actually run's on it's own
soo.....
Im gonna give this mod 1 last change on the final? release. whenever that is. if not i'll just wait for thief 4 or play thief 3 for the 100th time and pretend it's this mod.
I even tried the comment that said load as a MOD and it does the same thing.
Only thing i can think of that is not making it work is the games resolution option isnt changing ? (I've put on center timing's and the menu's do not change size.. even on 1024x768 etc)
But even that doesn't make sense cause doom 3 is working fine...
Typical tho.. of all the mod's THIS one chooses not to work. -_-
I just thought I'd mention if you didn't already know, you need the 1.3.1.1304 patch. Not any other patch. Has to be this one. Cause I know with the thief's den you had to have that specific patch.
Yup im using that one. I've tried a few now anyway from different sites 1.3.1.1302 and 1.3.1.1304 etc and non work (But the 1.3.1.1304 version is the one that get's me up to the 'Please wait' screen)
I mean i've waited ages at the please wait screen and there is no harddrive activity (= CRASH). and even if the game did work 20+mins to play a level is insane!!!
My serial number goes in fine, So it's not that either.
I've even used those no-cd cracks incase it was something stupid like it couldn't get past the cd-key screen. But it still doesn't work (Same crash)
I've tried doom3config.cfg resolution changes etc
Compatibilty changes (Xp sp2 mode etc)
It's giving me a headache -_-
Hm, does this FAQ help in any way? (http://modetwo.net/darkmod/wiki/index.php?title=FAQ)
If not, you could register on The Darkmod forums. Heres the link (http://www.modetwo.net/darkmod).
Are you familiar with TTLG? Do you have an account? I suggest asking about your problem there.. but also check their wiki site too if you haven't already.
i have steam version, and the launcher dont work. but works correctly if i select it as a mod. great work.
