Mods don't appear in Doom 3

I emerged doom3 and then some of the Doom 3 mods. None of the mods show up when I run doom3. What'd I miss?

Did those. Running any of those runs Doom 3 without any mods.

Everything works fine here. Launching a mod from terminal launches the modded version of the game, not the base game.

What would I have missed that causes this to happen? I tried re-emerging doom3, but that didn't help.

No idea... I would try to just re-emerge one of the mods and try again.

emerge doom3-cdoom

I got it working. I had to unmerge doom3 and all mods, delete all locations of doom3, which included /opt/doom3, /usr/local/games/doom3 and /usr/share/games/doom3, and delete ~/.doom3, then re-emerge doom3.

I think the mess came from manually installing doom3. When I fixed the mouse problem, I no longer needed to do this, so the purge was a good thing.

Now I want the CC mod to work, but I think the version in Portage is too new. The CC mod worked with an older version. It's not a big deal, because I've already played it with the CC mod, and I can still run it through Wine to use the CC mod, but it'd be nice to have it native.

CC as in, closed caption? I never tried to play with that one.

My favourite mod is classic doom (doom3-cdoom) If you haven't tried it yet, emerge it now

I think the CC mod (yeah, closed-captions) works with 1.3 and not 1.3.1. But once you know the dialog, you know it's not really that important to game play.

I got doom3-cdoom working. It's nice, although I need to sit down and play beyond e1m1.

Just been busy playing Quake 4 lately (Doom 3 = Quake 4, pretty much).

Aye, I enjoy Quake 4 as well.

I have the following "native Linux" games installed :
Doom 3, Doom 3 RoE, Quake 4, Return to Castle Wolfenstein, Enemy Territories : Quake Wars, Prey, and Descent 3.

Beyond those I mostly play Blizzard games via Wine.

Good stuff!

I would really like to see a game that combines the best of Doom/Quake/single player FPS and Myst. You have to frag your way out, but you also have to solve real puzzles (not just pushing a button and figuring out you have to jump on the barrels you've moved around). Maybe incorporate the demons into the puzzles - they added their own technology, moved stuff around, and you have to figure it out.
