ELDOOM is a single player Doom 3 campaign with lots of action which contains a full story from beginning to end. It makes use of high quality portal skies, large custom quality maps and features music from Sonic Mayhem and Bill Brown. It contains many new custom cinematics, animations, classic nightmare mode and much more!

The Doom 3 patch v1.3.1 (Windows / Linux) or 1.3 (Windows / Linux / Mac) is required to play.

NOTE: The dhewm3 source port is highly recommended to play ELDOOM which is located here: https://github.com/dhewm/dhewm3/releases/

Originally released in 2007 at PlanetDoom.com (offline) and Doom3World.org (offline) under the author elroacho (a team of myself and some friends).

Custom Options:
Always run with no stamina (toggleable on/off).
Slightly modified weapons (toggleable on/off).
Classic nightmare mode (toggleable on/off).

CHANGES IN VERSION 1.0
--------------------------------------------
Corrected a few typos
Restructured the contents for easier install including adding a Mod Manager installer (although Manual install is recommended)
Set the 1.3.1 binaries as default (instead of 1.3 being the default)
Included the "high quality music" as default (instead of low quality by default and high quality being a separate download)
Removed the double_barrel_shotgun.exe and replaced it with scripts making it easier to add the double barrel shotgun
Included the 1.3.1 SDK source (instead of it being a separate download)
Included the dhewm3 1.5.4 eldoom binaries for Windows and Linux
Included the dhewm3 1.5.4 SDK source
Fixed the structure for the game0#.pk4 files: game00=Windows, game01=Linux (game02 would be Mac, but I currently don't have a way to compile the source on Mac)
Updated the FAQ and README

INSTALL - MANUAL - RECOMMENDED
--------------------------------------------
Extract the eldoom folder inside the zip file to your ..\Doom3\ folder. It should place the eldoom mod files in the new "..\Doom 3\eldoom" folder.

NOTE: If you are using the dhewm3 source port instead of the official Doom 3, then you will need to copy the following file to the root of your Doom 3 install along side the Doom3 executable. It will not work if you put the dll/so in the ./eldoom/ folder

..\eldoom\binaries\dhewm3_1.5.4\eldoom.dll (Windows)
../eldoom/binaries/dhewm3_1.5.4/eldoom.so (Linux)

NOTE: If you are using Doom 3 version 1.3 (mainly for Mac users because there is no dylib for ELDOOM 1.3.1 currently), copy the files in "..\Doom 3\eldoom\binaries\doom3_1.3" to the root of the mod "..\Doom 3\eldoom" overwriting the existing files.

INSTALL - MOD MANAGER - IMPORTANT NOTES
--------------------------------------------
NOTE: The Vortex data (Downloads/Mods) must be on the same drive as Doom 3 in-order for it to extract the mod properly. Using the Mod Manager installer will cause some console commands to stop working, such as "map eldoom1".

After installing ELDOOM using Vortex, it is necessary to open the Mods panel and locate eldoom. Double-click where it says the name of the mod to open the Mod Properties panel. Inside the properties panel is a drop down called Mod Type which must be changed to "Binaries / Root Game Folder" and then re-deploy the mod. Changing the Mod Type to Binaries will move the eldoom folder out of the base folder and place it along side the base folder and exe where it belongs.

This is because by default, mods are installed into the "base" folder which will cause the improper structure to be: ..\Doom 3\base\eldoom
When the proper structure should be: ..\Doom 3\eldoom

If your Mod Manager does not have this option, then a Manual install is recommended.

DOUBLE BARREL SHOTGUN
--------------------------------------------
If you have Doom 3: Resurrection of Evil installed, you can open "..\Doom 3\eldoom\double_barrel_shotgun" and run the file :
dbs-windows.bat (Windows)
dbs-linux.sh (Linux)

It will extract the needed assets from RoE and place them in a new pak file in the eldoom folder. It will automatically spawn in the map "The Caverns" in the second building on the first floor.

Or in the console type:
give weapon_shotgun_double

STARTING THE MOD
--------------------------------------------
1) Either make a shortcut to doom3.exe and edit the properties so it looks something like:
"C:\Doom 3\Doom3.exe" +set fs_game eldoom

Then select NEW GAME to play

OR

2) Start Doom 3 and select MODS in the main menu. Select ELDOOM from the list and then click LOAD.

Then select NEW GAME to play

Have fun and enjoy!
