# Modifications for **dhewm3**
Unfortunately dhewm3 can't support all old Doom3 modifications, as it's incompatible with old Game DLLs.
This means that old Mods are only supported if they *either* have been ported to dhewm3
*or* don't require their own Game DLL (but are using the one from the main game).
The essential requirement for porting Mods to dhewm3 is that the original Mod authors must
release the source code **under the GPLv3 license** (that id Software chose when open sourcing Doom3).
The [dhewm3 SDK project page](https://github.com/dhewm/dhewm3-sdk#how-to-port-a-mod-to-dhewm3) has more information.
General information about idTech4 (Doom3, Quake4, Prey, ET:QW, ...) modding can be found at
the **[idTech4 ModWiki](https://modwiki.dhewm3.org)**.
**NOTE** that all mods *(except for Fitz Packerton, which is a standalone game)* **require the full version
of Doom3** (some also need the Resurrection of Evil addon, see the mod descriptions below for details).
