Specific system information

File organization

Boom3 and Dhewm3 need a file with the extension .boom3 to be placed in the roms\doom3 folder of your RetroBat installation. (dhewm3 also accepts .game extension)

The .boom3 (or .game) must point to the subfolder and pak000.pk4 file:

Boom3 and dhewm3 require original .pk4 files from the Doom3 game and the Resurrection of Evil addon, you'll need the game data from a Doom3 installation patched to 1.3.1. Specifically, you'll need the following .pk4 files (base folder contains the original game data, d3xp contains the Resurrection of Evil game data):

└── roms/
    └── boom3/
        ├── Doom 3.boom3
        ├── Doom 3 - Resurrection of evil.boom3

Dhewm3: run custom command lines

With dhewm3 emulator, it is possible to run specific user-defined command lines, to do so, open the rom file with a txt editor and add the command lines to be added in a second line:

In the example above, RetroBat will run the bloodmod and add the following commands:

+set com_allowconsole 1 +set g_gib_power 100 +set g_gib_shadows 1

Mods

Dhewm3 can run mods. The list of mods can be found on the game engine webpage.
