How to run DOOM 3

[PcKiller]

Doom III - Alpha 0.02 - E3 Demo
-------------------------------

Instructions

load the doom.exe
use the ~ key to get to the console (if you choose single player, game will crash)

you can load e3 demo maps 1-3 using one of the following commands:

map e3/e3_1
map e3/e3_2
map e3/e3_3

Res change:

Open up the console, (push ~ ) it's to the left of the 1 key.
type in "r_fullscreen 1" without the quotes, of course and then exit and restart the game.
Also you can change the resolution.
type "r_mode X"
where X is

3 = 640 x 480
4 = 800 x 600
5 = 1024 x 768


a: backward
s: strafe left
d: strafe right
mouse secondary: forward
mouse primary : fire weapon
mouse scroll : weapon change

Changing controls:
From the console, type: bindlist

This will list all the currently bound keys and their functions. Use the page up and page down keys to scroll through the list. The controls for standard movement are not bound to the regular WASD config, so type the following to put it back to normal:
bind w _forward
bind s _back
bind a _moveleft
bind d _moveright

Checking FPS: type com_drawfps 1

I take it from the looks of those config commands that it runs on the Quake3 engine? If so, can you "exec" a config file? And... Where can I get my hands on the demo?

Send me a PM, I can send it to you thru snail mail.

Looks like the autoexec.cfg runs so I'm sure you can /exec whatever.cfg from the console. I haven't tried it though.
