Doom3 Starter Kit

About

This is a starter kit for making standalone projects with the Doom 3 engine.

This kit includes:

• the minimal amount of art/data assets required to run the game.
• one test map.

Use this as a starting point for your projects, make cool stuff, enjoy!

Usage

This package does not include the game executable. Because the Doom 3 engine is open-source, you have different options for getting the executable.

• I recommend the dhewm3 source port. If you don't want to compile the executable yourself, you can click here to download dhewm3's pre-compiled binaries.
• You can also try out the original release of the Doom 3 source code.

How to use this kit:

1. In the folder that has the game executable, place the 'base' folder.
2. Run the game executable.

Why Doom 3?

I like the Doom 3 engine for a lot of reasons, including:

• It's open-source
• Its codebase is nice and tidy
• I've been using the idTech game engines for various projects, such as Quadrilateral Cowboy (idTech4) and Thirty Flights of Loving (idTech2).

Is this compatible with Doom 3 BFG Edition?

No.
