I don't like sand. It gets everywhere.

Awesome! Enjoy :)

We tried it way back when, but still preferred working in the built-in editor. We're not really held back by the tools at this point anyway. It's a huge project involving a lot of different skills and much ground to cover :)

It's closer to done than not.

What GPU are you using?

Thank you so much :)
Glad you liked it!

Noted, thanks :)

Awesome!
Hope you enjoy :)

How do you attempt to activate it? Some mistake it for the regular guis and left-click the mouse. We have a new use button in Phobos, though. It's usually bound to the E key, but you can see and rebind it in the menu.

Ah okay, well try this then :)

1. Make a copy of doom3.exe and call it phobos.exe
2. edit Phobos.bat and change doom3.exe to phobos.exe
3. Run Phobos.bat

Oooh, actually Sikkmod isn't likely to be compatible with Phobos.
Sadly, other mods won't work well with Phobos, so you will have to run it without. Also, seeing that you have an AMD card it would be a good idea to rename (or create a copy of) doom3.exe to something else. There is an old faulty driver optimization that's hardcoded to the process name.

Hey. Can you send me a screenshot or two? :)

The rename fix only works for amd/ati cards, so you can definitely revert this back :)

Would it be possible for you to send me the DoomConfig.cfg file located in the tfphobos dir? (just paste the raw text in a private message to me)
This is a well-known problem and I'd love to see if we can find a fix :)

Hey. Are you using an AMD(ATI) or nVidia GPU?

No problem. Just approach us next time. No need to do a review bomb before investigating the issue ;) We would appreciate it if you remove that review as it is not really reflective of the mod. If you play it and think it's a 1/10 that's totally fine, but what it says right now doesn't really have anything to do with the mod at all.

Unfortunately Doom 3: Phobos does not work with Doom3 BFG edition.

In that case, Doom3.exe is not located in the same directory as phobos.bat

If you spelled it correctly AND it says phobos.bat is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file, then you are not located in the same directory as phobos.bat

Not if you follow the instructions I wrote. This will output the error straight to the command prompt and allow you to read it.

Try running phobos.bat in a command prompt and see what it says.
if you're located in the folder of the bat file, write cmd in the address bar and press enter. Then type in phobos.bat and press enter.

What does it say?

Is Phobos.bat in the same folder as doom3.exe?

Thank you! :)

Thanks for the nice words! :)
Id Software giving us a fat sack of money to work on this stuff would be a dream come true, but sadly not very likely.

Yes. It's still going to be the Mars episode, but so much has changed since then. Expanding on Hell and breathing some more life into it would be fun, but we don't really have anything interesting or worthwhile to add to that at this time...and we don't want to wing it and make an entire episode worth of Hell if we have nothing interesting to bring to the table :)
I think id software is doing some great work in that aspect with the new Doom games though, so at least there's that.

I'm glad you're starting to like the story. It really is a slow burn and it's pretty difficult to do these things without facial expressions etc. Yes. It's very much "undoom" and like a completely different game, but that is also the point. First of all we needed some contrast to what you were doing on Mars and we wanted the game to have an emotional background as opposed to the more mechanical and practical nature of the Mars adventure. Learning about the UAC, Betruger and all of this is great, but we want there to be a more personal context to pin all this on.

Yeah we do like to put in some secrets, references and easter eggs and I'm pretty sure all the Ep1 haven't been found yet.

We can't give any meaningful ETAs on Episode 3. We tried to do that in 2019 with E2, but that didn't work out all that well. It's really tough. People often like to state that Phobos has been in development for up to 16 years and that is technically true, but the everyday Phobos dev time is basically what's left after all the things everybody else also has to contend with on a daily basis like wife/partner, kids, school, work, house, garden, friends, parties, tragedies and such. We try to work on Phobos every day, but it's difficult to guarantee a certain daily allocation of time. Some weeks we can only spend a couple of hours on the project while other weeks may approach 100 hours.

Once we're closer to release we can make an estimation and hopefully it will be better than the one we made for E2, but you never know :)

I can only speak for myself, but I'd love to ;)

Rename Doom3.exe to something else (or make a copy).
AMD/ATI has an old hardcoded tweak in their drivers that searches for doom3.exe as the executable. Renaming it should fix it :)

Glad you're enjoying the mod!
We are aware of the bug and have fixed it for the next release. Thanks for reporting it though :)

Is it a fresh install of Doom3 and ROE? We've seen a few people experiencing issues with other mods/files conflicting.

Hey. Do you have Resurrection of Evil installed as well?
Also, from where and how do you launch the mod? :)

np, Hope it works and you enjoy :)
