Recommended DOOM 3 mods and custom maps?

[amackert]

I've been playing DOOM 3 again (non-BFG) these last few days and began wondering what sorts of recommended mods and custom maps are out there for this game. I grabbed the Classic Doom 3 mod again (I had played it when it came out, long ago), but I am not familiar with any other custom content for Doom 3. I see a user here posted a map just recently. What else is there along those lines?

[snapshot]

• Endarchy
• Doom 3 Phobos
• In Hell
• Shamblers Castle
• Chex Trek: Beyond the Quest

There's others that I haven't yet tried. There's a list here.

Foe BFG and DOOM 3 (2019) there is Classic RBDOOM 3 BFG. 

It restores ALOT of cut content, has various improvements and extends mod support for DOOM 3 (.mp3, .flac and .ogg audio support + it's own SDK and the ability to package your mods in .resources)

okay it seems that some pretty kickass mods has been made for DooM III (I do not consider any of the spritebased dooms to be anything but Doom 1 or 2)

 

this duke tribute for doom III also looks fun:

Did anyone ever try this? I only just remembered this is a thing that exists: http://www.doomwadstation.net/doom3/maps/event_horizon/

Gotta say as a fan of the film I'm very intrigued.

since you're not using the BFG edition, I recommend the duct-tape(duck-tape?) mod.

Ah come on, that's not really worth mentioning. A mini mod for players who are afraid in the dark.

The only 'mod' i ever played of Doom 3 is surprisingly the Phantasm TC. But then as well, the BFG Edition doesn't support mods now...

[OleBumma]

if you're lookin to get frustrated you can try Tested (by rareg), it works with ROE installed.

https://www.moddb.com/games/doom-3-resurrection-of-evil/downloads/tested-v80

https://www.moddb.com/games/doom-3-resurrection-of-evil/downloads/tested-v80-patch

 

if you're having issues getting the latest version to work, try previous versions of the mod

v7.0 https://www.doomitalia.it/map_tested.php

v6.0 https://www.moddb.com/games/doom-3-resurrection-of-evil/addons/tested-6-0

https://www.gamewatcher.com/downloads/doom-3-resurrection-of-evil-download/tested-6-0#

v5.1 / 5.0 ask NexusMods https://www.nexusmods.com/doom3/mods/497

v4.0 / 3.0 / 2.0 / 1.1 / 1.0 https://www.gamefront.com/@rareg

I already recommended Tested. It's challenging, but not necessarely frustrating. It has a lot of trial-and-error situations, but you can (most times) figure out how to win the battle in another try and then it feels very satisfying.

The Phantasm TC is ambitious, but doesn't make good use of the Doom 3 engine features in my opinion. They use many custom textures, but without normal and specular maps.

[Caffeine Freak]

I'd recommend Overthinked Doom 3. It comes packaged with Sikkmod and includes a lot of graphical enhancements---things like revamped textures with stronger bumpmaps and increased specularity for metal surfaces and blood decals, which gives them more the appearance of Doom 2016's blood decals.

 

More significantly though, it rebalances the weapons and enemies so that the game is much more in the line of being a survival horror game than the original. I found it interesting enough to play through a few times.

Are there any good custom sp maps or campaigns in the last few years. I just tried Gammalbs and Gammalbs2, and they were Pretty good. Are there any others?

 

I already know about phobos

[Xyz]

Tested, Hell in Time, ELDOOM, Teh_Base. All three of them have alright level design, but their main focus is the gameplay, classic doom-alike.

Thanks for pointing it out. You should create anew thread for your map/mod here so we can give you some feedback.

I wouldn't recommend the map to everyone, though.

That Icon of Sin level and boss monster was created for the Ruiner/Rivensin mod some years ago https://www.moddb.com/mods/ruiner/images/icon-if-sin#imagebox

Are you the orginal author of that map? If not, you should make clear that you just re-use content from someone else. And, of course, ask the original author for permission.

Okay :) Looking forward to the release.

Fragging Free released a remastered version with many new additions just a few days ago!: https://www.moddb.com/mods/fragging-free

 

This mod has a not so serious tone and is more action orientated, but nevertheless contains many great levels with a thick Doom 3 atmosphere. One of the high points of FF are the numerous and creative monster variants.
