From what I know, Doom 3 ports have made little progress. iodoom3 doesn't seem like it's been updated for months and the changelogs and documentation still sound like they just got started on it even though it's been a project for years. As far as I know, none of the existing Doom 3 ports support the BFG Edition's asset formats yet, even despite the code now being available. If you ask me, it seems Doom 3 editing and port work is pretty much completely dead. I've seen a dozen awesome looking projects get announced, with tons of awesome looking screenshots, and then they turn out to be complete vaporware. The only Doom 3 mod with actual levels worth playing so far has been Hexen: EoC, which isn't even Doom-themed. And it was plagued with balance issues and beta bugs, even then. 0 Share this post Link to post

What I'm not sure about is if that site still downloads. Last time I was hitting errors and 404. What would Doom 3 source ports be needed for? 0 Share this post Link to post
Badboy Posted July 20, 2013 so it seems its true what Quasar said. i hoped it wasnt. >What would Doom 3 source ports be needed for? new features, standalone versions instead of mods, linux optimisation. the same why classic doom ports were made or ioquake3. maps & mods. i played some high ranked customs the last year and i can tell what i liked. maps Once Upon A Time (2005) von Thomas Creutzenberg http://doom3.filefront.com/file/Once_Upon_a_Time;41972 http://www.map-factory.org/doom-3/single-player/once-upon-a-time-sp-87 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TNoHAmiRgUQ Urukhai (2000) von Uwe Amberger http://doom3.filefront.com/file/Urukhai;43390 http://www.map-factory.org/doom-3/single-player/urukhai-564 T-Labs Complex (2004) von Kaiser http://doom3.filefront.com/file/TLab_Complex;37305 http://www.map-factory.org/author/kaiser-27 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ka3zCm91KhA mod In Hell (2006) von Steve 'Doomi' Kirbst http://doom3.filefront.com/file/;83607 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vlOXwrcS_MA http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLF39863A46B6AFC96 edit// map factory is vanished i just found out endarchy was not bad. did not play hexen. 0 Share this post Link to post
