Starting Mods doesn´t work

[Midnightmaster]

Hi! I have 3 Mods for Doom 3 BFG, they work flawless with the non VR Version of Doom 3 BFG. I followed the instructions to start the mods with the Fully Possessed Mod but it doesn´t work. I´ve tested several folders and shortcuts for the folders, nothing: ..\DOOM 3 BFG Edition\Fully Possessed\fs_game_base\D3XXXXMod ..\DOOM 3 BFG Edition\Fully Possessed\fs_game_mod\D3XXXXMod ..\DOOM 3 BFG Edition\Fully Possessed\fs_game\D3XXXXMod ..\DOOM 3 BFG Edition\Fully Possessed\D3XXXXMod ..\DOOM 3 BFG Edition\fs_game_base\D3XXXXMod ..\DOOM 3 BFG Edition\fs_game_mod\D3XXXXMod ..\DOOM 3 BFG Edition\fs_game\D3XXXXMod ..\DOOM 3 BFG Edition\D3XXXXMod ..\DOOM 3 BFG Edition\base\D3XXXXMod

+set fs_game_base D3XXXXMod +set fs_game_mod D3XXXXMod +set fs_game D3XXXXMod

Not all mods will be compatible with this. Which mods are you using/what do they do?

[Midnightmaster]

I use Omega Research and Shambler's Castle (quake) and start the mods with Doom 3 BFG Mod launcher v1.2.

Thanks!

Unfortunately Shamblers castle won't work with this mod. ( It redefines the player and weapons, which have already been redefined in this mod)

I'm not overly familiar with the mod launcher, but I seriously doubt it will work with this mod, as it has hardcoded some changes in the engine.

Omega research should work, I was able to get the map to load, but it looks like the strings for emails etc didn't load for some reason. If you want to try it, unzip the .pk4 mod file. Put the folder 'zomega' in the same directory as 'fully possesed' and 'base'. Launch the vr executable with the command line parameter '+set fs_game_base zomega', then open the map.

Thanks for your help, but the only way i got this to run was with v0.22 without HD-Pack: Load zomega/omega research .pk4 from Nexusmods, unzip and place it in the main directory. Place the .pk4 file in the base directory and start with D3BFGVR.exe +set fs_game_base zomega. Open the console and paste map omegalabs/omega1. Ugly "classic" Doom 3 Textures btw 8-{ and a few glitches (Missing Textures/pad strings).

You don't need the .pk4 file in the base directory - BFG doesn't know how to read them.

BFG uses a different format for PDA's - the text for the pda messages is stored in the .lang file so they can be localized to different languages. You can still use the old pda's, from the console set g_useOldPDAStrings to 1 and load the level. Set it back to 0 when done.

You´re right, don´t need the .pk4 file :-) Thanks for the string command, it´s way cooler if i can read the PDA´s! Now it´s time to test other MOD´s...
