Doom-III

[JaNaShEeN]

Hey Does Anybody know how to play DOOM-III ALPHA BUILD ON MY PC?

OS:WIN XP.

[ovalprocess]

im working from memory here... but i think you press ~ to raise the console, then you type map_e3_01 or whatever the map name is. if you look in the game data folder, you should be able to find out those map names.

Instructions for playing Doom 3 demo:

 

1. Unrar (duh)

 

2. In your Doom_III\base directory, open the runact.cfg file.

 

3. Comment out the last line. In other words, add the "#" sign in front of the string "devmap $e3_intro" so it looks like the following:

 

#devmap $e3_intro

 

4. Launch the game using the main exe.

 

5. Press the tilde key to bring down the console (just like Q3)

 

6. Type the following: exec runact.cfg

 

7. Hit enter, and then go grab a soda. Seriously, it takes about 5 mins to load all the crap.

 

8. Once it is done, you can launch the intro movie, or play yourself.

 

9. From the console, use the following commands:

 

* map e3/intro (Loads intro movie)

* map e3/e3_1 (Loads first map)

* map e3/e3_2 (Loads second map)

* map e3/e3_3 (Loads third map)

* map fred/e3bathroom5 (won't work for some people)

 

 

Changing controls:

From the console, type: bindlist

 

This will list all the currently bound keys and their functions. Use the page up and page down keys to scroll through the list. The controls for standard movement are not bound to the regular WASD config, so type the following to put it back to normal:

 

* bind w _forward

* bind s _back

* bind a _moveleft

* bind d _moveright

 

Check out some of the other bindings, God mode and give health are already bound for you

 

Checking FPS: type com_drawfps 1
