level hell seems to be the hardest level for me
possible spoiler:::::








this happens after the sea of lava where the stone cruses down from the ceillin
those flyin faces keep pushing me of the edge into the lava..... sucky part about it i gotta keep strarting the level from the beginning of the level 

shot gun them at close range. use the machine gun when u see them far away from u. use the machine gun for small enemies cuz it's weak and it won't come in handy much after the hell level

Ok I got the game working and I'm at the bit where the guy with the lantern tells you to follow him because the lights are out. We started walking through the dark and he gets killed by a imp . I carried on walking through and up the ladder where the guys are hanging upside down from the ceiling but the door is broken.

Where do you go from here?

protect the mofo until he open all the doors

yea anybody who helps you out eventually dies. but you shouldnt kill them, cuz i think when you kill innocent people demons come out of nowwhere and attack you

its true, perfect example is when u get to that part where theres a guy in that thing and asks u to let him out and u have 2 option, open the door or activate the thing. if u select open door, nothing happens to YOU and the guy goes free and eventually helps you, but if u activate the thing, 2 of those zombie guys come rushing from behind into the room ur in from the door u came through, weird

how do I get the cheats to work? I press the ~ key to bring up the console but it does nothing.

Hold down Ctrl + Alt + ~

hay can we play this doom 3 baby online once we dload it, if so. How?

You can but only on cracked servers. You wont be able to see any games when you go to the multi-player option, you will need the ip address of the person(s) you want to play with. If you want to still play online heres how:


Browse to:
C:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts file, and add a line:
127.0.0.1 idnet.ua-corp.com


Start up Doom 3
Go to MP
Type in IP address of the person hosting the game
Wait for it to connect

May show some repetitive tweaks, but a tweak nonetheless. "CP"

~~Doom 3 Tweaks~~

Open ; C:\Program Files\Doom 3\base\DoomConfig.cfg
Add ; seta com_showFPS "1" (shows fps at all times)

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Change seta g_nightmare "0" to seta g_nightmare "1"

Unlocks Nightmare mode

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

seta image_downSizeLimit "256"
seta image_ignoreHighQuality "0"
seta image_downSizeBumpLimit "256"
seta image_cacheMegs "100"

Ive heard setting 256 - 1024 increases texture quality

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

open console:
timedemo demo1.demo

this will do a benchmark

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

You can brighten the game up by typing "r_gamma X" in the console, where the X is a # between 0 and 3. 3 Being highest

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

To open console:
(US keyboard) Ctrl + Alt + ~
(EUR keyboard) Ctrl + Alt + ¬

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Show FPS:
com_showfps 1

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Cracking multiplayer for clients go to:
C:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts file, and add a line:
127.0.0.1 idnet.ua-corp.com

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

seta g_showPlayerShadow "0" - player shadows off
seta g_showPlayerShadow "1" - player shadows on

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Third person:
bind "p" "toggle pm_thirdperson"

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

-nostartup in the command line will skip the id-logo movie

For example [ "C:\....\Doom 3\doom3.exe" -nostartup ]

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

To apply changes while still in game type this in console:
vid_restart

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Add Hit Percentage to HUD:
seta g_showProjectilePct 1

I'm looking for the control room I believe. There is a lift that can take me to sections 1 (loading), 2 (????), 3 (exit/unload). The door in section 3 is locked by controls somewhere in security section 1. But I can't find where to unlock it. I've pretty sure I've been everywhere at least 20 times. Section 1 is small and I always end up in section 2 or 3. Or are there any walthroughs out yet? I found one that ended a couple levels before this.

Any help?

you have to manually drive the lift thing (i think i know where you are) there should be 4 arrows on the lift , one to go forward, backward, turn left and right.  then theres a thing to make the lift go up and back down, you have to make the lift go up, and then you jump onto a bridge. its the only bridge theres, thats above you.

Compliments of cpt_azad. B)

ati tweak just came in guaranteed atleast 25% increase if not 40% increase, seen wit my own 2 eyes my friends 9700pro was getting 37 fps avg, tweak shot it up to 54 avg same settings, heres how:

go into doom3/base folder, look for pak000.pk4, open that up wit winrar, now look for a subfolder named glprogs, go into it, look for the file name interaction.vfp now wat u gotta do is edit it, i suggest u extract to somewhere, edit it, and then add the new edited file back into pk4 file u opened wit winrar overwriting the old one wit the newly edited one, here's how:

1) open the interaction.vfp with notepad or wordpad
2) scroll down and find

PARAM subOne = { -1, -1, -1, -1 };
PARAM scaleTwo = { 2, 2, 2, 2 };  

3) now rite below it add the line:

PARAM specExp = { 16, 0, 0, 0 };

4) it should like this:

            PARAM subOne = { -1, -1, -1, -1 };
            PARAM scaleTwo = { 2, 2, 2, 2 };
            PARAM specExp = { 16, 0, 0, 0 };

5) now scroll down some more to find this:

# perform a dependent table read for the specular falloff
TEX  R1, specular, texture[6], 2D; 

6) change it so it reads this:

# perform a dependent table read for the specular falloff
# TEX  R1, specular, texture[6], 2D;
POW  R1, specular.x, specExp.x;

7) save the file, and then add it back into the glprogs subdirectory and overwrite the old one, start the game and enjoy

remember, this is an ATI tweak only, it slowed mine down by 2 fps in timedemo cuz i own an nvidia (5200). hope this helps, oh and if u can't for some reason get winrar to add the file and save (it freezes up), then gimme a good place to host a tweak file which emulates the steps above (it's a rar file and it contains the edited interaction.vfp file which in a folder called glprogs which extracts into the base folder of doom3), for those that want this file, tell me a good hosting site and i'll upload ASAP.

anyone know when u can get the bfg? i saw it in a locked room, but i don't have the code to some sargent/general person. where do u get it?

the code is 931 (i think the name is abrams, the code was originally 901 but then "security" updated it to 931 because codes cannot have the number 0 in em  )
