I purchased Doom 3 back when the game was released and was wondering if I can install from disks on my Linux machine like I would with UT2004? I have a licensed copy of the game but I was not sure if the retail version only supported Windows and how I can install this on a Linux machine.
Find the site and read the instructions. Doing research for other people is a tiring business.
This is a support forum where people ask for help...I did find the site and obviously I could not find clear instructions. If you know a link that will point me in the right direction, please post it but don't crap in my thread like I am some lazy ass who did not bother to do some research.
Just run the 16 meg script file and it will install the doom 3 client.
The website will tell you which specific data files need to be copied off the doom 3 cd's.
I'd tell you which ones but I don't remember.
It's not hard to find the answer considering you've already tracked down their website.
I'm also pretty sure that running doom3 after installing it will complain and tell you which files to copy if they aren't already there.
I actually had a hard time finding clear, explicit instructions on how to do this myself; I only didn't have any trouble because I'm familiar with how id Software has always packaged their games.
As mentioned, run the file you downloaded. Then, go to this site. Scroll down to where it says "Patch Installation Instructions" and copy the files it says to where it says.
