<h1 id="about">About</h1>
<p><strong>dhewm3</strong> is a source port of the original Doom3 (<strong>not</strong> <em>Doom3 BFG</em>, for that you may want to try <a href="https://github.com/RobertBeckebans/RBDOOM-3-BFG/">RBDoom3BFG</a>). It's known to work on Windows, Linux, macOS, <a href="https://freebsd.org">FreeBSD</a>, <a href="https://openbsd.org">OpenBSD</a> and <a href="http://www.aros.org/">AROS</a>, but it should work (or be easily portable to) on any system that supports OpenGL 1.4 with <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ARB_assembly_language">ARB shaders</a>, <a href="http://libsdl.org">SDL</a> and <a href="http://openal.org">OpenAL</a>.<br />
Compared to the original version of Doom3, dhewm3 has many bugfixes, supports EAX-like sound effects on all operating systems and hardware (via <a href="http://openal-soft.org/">OpenAL Softs</a> EFX support), has better support for widescreen resolutions and it has 64bit support.<br />
It only supports <strong>old Mods</strong> if they <em>either</em> don't require their own game DLL <em>or</em> have been ported to dhewm3 - see the <a href="https://github.com/dhewm/dhewm3-sdk">dhewm3 SDK</a> for more information.<br />
dhewm3 currently does not support the integrated (Windows-only) editors.<br />
Note that while the Doom3 source code has been released under GPL, you still need to legally own the game and provide dhewm3 the game data to play. See the <a href="#how-to-install">How to Install</a> section for more information.</p>

<h4 id="dhewm3-1.5.0-release-candidate-2">2018-11-20: <em>dhewm3 1.5.0 Release Candidate 2</em></h4>
<p>The second release candidate of the upcoming 1.5.0 release is now available!<br />
You can download it (including a Windows build) <a href="https://github.com/dhewm/dhewm3/releases/tag/1.5.0_RC2">at Github</a></p>
<p>It fixes performance issues introduced in 1.5.0 RC1 (due to a bug in SDL 2.0.9).<br />
Furthermore, the Mod DLLs now contain a DLL for <a href="https://www.moddb.com/mods/ruiner">Rivensin (formerly Ruiner)</a>, because a big update for that Mod has been released in the meantime!</p>
<h4 id="dhewm3-1.5.0-release-candidate-1">2018-11-12: <em>dhewm3 1.5.0 Release Candidate 1</em></h4>
<p>The first release candidate of the upcoming 1.5.0 release is now available!<br />
You can download it (including a Windows build) <a href="https://github.com/dhewm/dhewm3/releases/tag/1.5.0_RC1">at Github</a></p>
<p>Changes since 1.4.1:</p>
<ul>
<li>Support for some Mods via <a href="https://github.com/dhewm/dhewm3-sdk">custom SDK</a>: Classic Doom3, HardQore2, Denton's Enhanced Doom3 and soon Rivensin (formerly known as Ruiner).
<ul>
<li><a href="https://github.com/dhewm/dhewm3/releases/download/1.5.0_RC1/dhewm3_1.5.0_RC1_win32.zip">dhewm3-mods_1.5.0_RC1_win32.zip</a> contains prebuild Windows game DLLs for those Mods (except Rivensin) and a README that tells you where to get the game data</li>
<li>See <a href="https://github.com/dhewm/dhewm3-sdk">the dhewm3 SDK Github page</a> for more information.</li>
<li>This has also broken backwards compatibility with 1.4.x game DLLs, that's why this version will be 1.5.0 and not 1.4.2.</li>
</ul></li>
<li>Supports High DPI displays on Windows now</li>
<li>Scale menus, fullscreen videos and the PDA to 4:3 (with black bars left/right) on widescreen displays so they don't look stretched/distorted. Can be disabled with <code>r_scaleMenusTo43 0</code>.<br />
No, this unfortunately can't be done for the HUD, because the HUD also handles fullscreen effects (for example when receiving damage), and those would look bad with black/empty bars on left/right.</li>
<li>Commandline option to display some help on supported commandline arguments: <code>-h</code> or <code>-help</code> or <code>/?</code></li>
<li>Updated some libraries bundled in the Win32 build: <a href="https://libsdl.org">SDL2 2.0.9</a>, <a href="http://kcat.strangesoft.net/openal.html">OpenAL-soft 1.19.1</a> and <a href="https://curl.haxx.se">curl 7.62.0</a></li>
<li>Support for the AROS and OpenBSD operating systems</li>
<li>Several bugfixes</li>
</ul>
<h4 id="dhewm3.org-launched">2018-07-11: <em>dhewm3.org launched</em></h4>
<p>dhewm3 now has an official homepage!</p>
<p>I guess it makes sense to be a bit less dependent on Github (especially as it has been bought by Microsoft, but also in general), so I decided to create this homepage with a domain I control.<br />
Another advantage is that it has some screenshots and more user-centric documentation than the <a href="https://github.com/dhewm/dhewm3/blob/master/README.md">README.md</a>.<br />
We'll continue to use Github for hosting the code and issues (and indeed this page via github pages), but if we need to migrate to another hoster some day, <a href="http://dhewm3.org">dhewm3.org</a> will still be reachable and will link to the new code repo and issue tracker instead.</p>
<h4 id="dhewm3-1.4.1-released">2016-06-18: <em>dhewm3 1.4.1 released</em></h4>
<p>Fixes/improvements since 1.4.0:</p>
<ul>
<li>Fixed some (kinda rare) crashes due to assertion errors, especially observed in the last boss fights of both doom3 and the Resurrection of Evil Addon.</li>
<li>Improved compatibility with AZERTY keyboards (the row of keys with 1...9, 0 is now usable)</li>
<li>Fixed a crash (at least on FreeBSD) when loading Resurrection of Evil's last level</li>
<li>Compatibility with Microsoft Visual Studio 2015</li>
<li>Video resolutions in menu now sorted, added 2880x1800</li>
<li>Support for up to 8 mouse buttons (on Linux this needs SDL2 2.0.4 or newer to work)</li>
</ul>

<h3 id="from-cddvd-patch">... from CD/DVD + Patch</h3>
<p>If you bought the game on CDs/DVD, base/pak000.pk4 - pak004.pk4 and d3xp/pak000.pk4 can be copied from the disks, the other files are from the patch.</p>
<p>On <strong>Linux</strong> (and probably other <strong>Unix-like</strong> systems and maybe even Windows with a mingw shell) you can extract the needed files from <a href="https://files.holarse-linuxgaming.de/native/Spiele/Doom%203/doom3-linux-1.3.1.1304.x86.run">the official 1.3.1 patch for Linux</a> with:</p>
<blockquote>
<p><code>sh /path/to/doom3-linux-1.3.1.1304.x86.run --tar xvf --wildcards base/pak* d3xp/pak*</code></p>
</blockquote>
<p>On <strong>Windows</strong> you can just install the game and <a href="https://archive.org/details/Doom_3_1.3.1">the official 1.3.1 patch for Windows</a> and then get the files from the installation directory (or copy dhewm3 in there).</p>
<h3 id="from-steam">... from Steam</h3>
<p>First you need to buy <a href="http://store.steampowered.com/app/9050/">Doom3</a> of course (and the <a href="https://store.steampowered.com/app/9070/">Resurrection of Evil Addon</a>, if you want that too; Note that the Addon is not available in Germany).</p>
<p>Thankfully the game from Steam is already fully patched to 1.3.1.</p>
<p>On <strong>Windows</strong>, <em>just install</em> it and copy the game data from there (see above for what files are needed).</p>
<p>On <strong>Linux/OSX</strong> unfortunately you can't just install the game (unless you run Windows Steam in Wine), because it's Windows-only on Steam.<br />
However, you can still download it with <strong><a href="https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/SteamCMD">SteamCMD</a></strong>.<br />
See <a href="https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/SteamCMD#Linux">this description for Linux</a> or <a href="https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/SteamCMD#OS_X">here for OS X</a> on how to install SteamCMD on your system. You won't have to create a new user.</p>
<p>Then you can download Doom3 with</p>
<blockquote>
<p><code>./steamcmd.sh +@sSteamCmdForcePlatformType windows +login &lt;YOUR_STEAM_LOGIN_NAME&gt; +force_install_dir ./doom3/ +app_update 9050 validate +quit</code></p>
</blockquote>
<p>(replace <code>&lt;YOUR_STEAM_LOGIN_NAME&gt;</code> with your steam login name)<br />
When it's done you should have the normal windows installation of doom3 in <code>./doom3/</code> and the needed files in <code>./doom3/base/</code><br />
It should be possible to get the <em>Resurection of Evil</em> data in the same way, by replacing <code>9050</code> with <code>9070</code>; the files should be in <code>./doom3/d3xp/</code> then.</p>
<p>By the way, that number is the &quot;AppID&quot; of Doom3/RoE; if you wanna use this to get the data of other games you own, you can look up the AppID at <a href="https://steamdb.info/">SteamDB</a>.</p>
<h2 id="getting-dhewm3-executables">Getting dhewm3 executables</h2>
<p>On <strong>Windows</strong> you can just download the Win32 binaries from the <a href="https://github.com/dhewm/dhewm3/releases/latest">Download page</a>.<br />
You can either extract them into your Doom3 installation directory, or into a fresh directory and copy the needed game data (<a href="#getting-the-doom3-game-data">see above</a>) in there.</p>
<p>On Linux and *BSD it might be that your package manager provides a dhewm3 package/port that you can install; please refer to that packages documentation on where to put the game data.<br />
You could also try telling dhewm3 where to find the game data with:</p>
<blockquote>
<p><code>dhewm3 +set fs_basepath /home/HansWerner/Games/doom3</code></p>
</blockquote>
<p>(adjust the path to your needs)</p>
<p>If your package manager does not provide dhewm3 (or you're on macOS/OSX and there is none), or you want to use the very latest code, you'll have to compile it yourself. It's not super hard, see <a href="https://github.com/dhewm/dhewm3/blob/master/README.md#compiling">the README</a> for details on compiling and <a href="https://github.com/dhewm/dhewm3/wiki/FAQ#where-do-i-need-to-put-the-game-data-files">the FAQ</a> on where to put the game data.</p>
