Bahaha Knight :D

Nah I can try if you wish, although Edonkey is being a real piece of crap atm. Doesn't feel like downloading it too fast for me, esspecially when we are talking 360+Mb you want a good connection speed.

Post 7

cool

i tryed to find it but my edonkey is not connecting
so i though fuck it
+ it would take me a while to download it anyway cause i connect at 31,600bps on a good day

Post 8

LOL knight why bother =)

It would still take me about 2 hours to download it, but at the rate its going, it will take at least all day. Or it wont even download :D

Post 9

yeah i think ill just steal it off u my friend

Post 10

*dies*

Post 11

Guys use eMule instead.. It connects to a few servers at once, and gets U a lot more hits..

Post 12

Yeah I acctually just grabbed that sly, but where do i get a server list from?

Nope dun worry i figured it out =)

Post 13

Where do you get emule from?

Post 14

The best emule is the tarod modded one.. its a LOT more stable and fast..

http://indigo.retemail.es/eMule0.22a-Tarod.1a-binaries.zip

And here are the server met files..

http://www.thedonkeynetwork.com/pl/tdn.pl

Click server lists, then scroll to the bottom and click "add all" then say yes to the äre U sure" prompt, and it will import the server links direct into mule. If U have donkey already installed, then U will need to goto prefs in mule and click the Get e2dK links thingy..

Thats really all U need..

Post 15

IS this for real? has anyone actually d/led it yet?

Post 16

If U mean eMule, Umm I have used the programme for months..

Its very real, and very........usefull..

Ok I have done a quick check, and the Doom3 is real.. Its a Alpha release.. And there is a patch for it as well..

Post 17

Yeah shannow Im DL atm, still a fair way off but should be done in a couple of hours

Post 18

damnit, I can't seem to get any files to actually start downloading except for one which was going at 0.1kb/s :(

Post 19

Ruin, it will speed up over time..

Chill

Post 20

HEHE Ruin, mines at 50Kb/sec :P :P :P
Only teasing, yeah it does take a little time to get there

Post 21

yeh its for real, theres a bunch of guys on OCAU chatting about it, its a leaked alpha version not a demo

shame it brings a rad 9700 to its knees on high res, and is very unoptimised atm for anything

still hanging out for it though

Post 22

hmmmm found it on kazaa lite but it said it was 200mb :evil:

Post 23

Haha, I'm gonna crumble my humble p3 500 GF2 :D

Post 24

i won't even bother trying :x

Post 25

Although because it's leaked I wouldn't use it to judge performance.

just some pics for the ppl interested :)

some tips from other forums...

run windowed, and do not Max out settings...Radeon 9700's and Ti4600's have been brought to below 1FPS. textures are the main problem in regards to performance, with almost a gig of textures being used, eating up your ram. and once it sinks its nasty little teeth into your pagefile, framerate is supposed to drop almost 80 - 99%....

ouch.

Post 28

Excuse my language but HOLY SHIT!

I havent played it yet but am about to right now.
Just some info.

The compressed file is 364Mb
Extracted it is a MASSIVE 1.02Gb

HEHE takes as long to extract the bloody thing then to download it.

Anyway crunch time, lets see how my comp handles this beat of a game.

dam thats huge alright
fuck me that ust for a demo whats it got like 3 levles?
shit i wonder how big the real game is
give me more info on the game jono

Post 30

WOW!

DOOM 3 is incredible

Take no note of what was here nefore people 8)

OK graphically the game is as everyone says so graphically intense that yes not a geforce 4 can handle it. Althought I got a crappy FPS (but is playable) the graphics still look incredible, the attention to detail is almost perfect. The animations are my fav thing in the game, when they come and jump at you, all you see is their face in your monitor you do almost shit yourslef :lol:

Sound wise, by far the best ever, although i do have a damn sweet sound system I can tell you surround sound (good surround sound) is needed, it adds so much fright and atmosphere to the game.

Umm not much more i can tell you yet, I am playing around with the configs atm, trying to get it to run in full screen and not window mode, but I dont think i can.

Post 31

noooooooooooo
i want it
i do
give it to me
i might have to dl it with my 28,800bps connection
:S

Post 32

here are some tips and commands

1. Visit http://www.rarlab.com and download WinRAR version 3.0. After you download WinRAR, install it. Open the rar file for Doom 3 which you downloaded (doom_iii.rar) using WinRAR. Once the file is open in WinRAR, click the "Extract To" button, choose a directory to extract the game to, and hit "ok." After the files are done extracting, open the folder which you extracted it too, and go on to step 2.

2. In your Doom_III\base directory, open the runact.cfg file.

3. Comment out the last line. In other words, add the "#" sign in front of the string "devmap $e3_intro" so it looks like the following:

#devmap $e3_intro

4. Launch the game using the main exe file.

5. Press the tilde key (~) to bring down the console (just like Q3)

6. Type the following: exec runact.cfg

7. Hit enter, and wait. Seriously, it takes about 5 mins to load all the everything.

8. Once it is done, you can launch the intro movie, or play yourself.

9. From the console, use the following commands:
map e3/intro (Loads intro movie)
map e3/e3_1 (Loads first map)
map e3/e3_2 (Loads second map)
map e3/e3_3 (Loads third map)
map fred/e3bathroom5 (won't work for some people)

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

Post 33

what are the min system requirements for DOOM3?

Post 34

Hmmm thanks Balthasar, as for the keys and other various stuff I just edited the config file, and made my own to my liking, much easier to control now :wink:

Knight id say:

Geforce 4 Ti (minmum) or higher
512 Mb DDR ram
1.4ghz + CPU

definatly and audigy with some good qualitly surround sound speakers.

Post 35

The final version is likely to need far less grunt than the leaked alpha version.

They have yet to optimise the code.

Post 36

which means we will be lucky to see the game in 6 months... LUCKY

Post 37

Blah - alt-enter for full-screen.

Post 42

And aren't ATI in the shit!! id have stopped all dealings with ATI for now, as it was someone from ATI that leaked that alpha.

Note: text below is copied and pasted, not me speaking.

"Well it looks like the Demo of Doom III isnt a fake so I decided to do a bit of investigating and found a french site that showed a irc chat with Xian saying that ATI leaked it. This could be fake so dont take my word on it you can decide for yourself but i'll post the IRC chat anyways.

Xian> ATI leaked it
Xian> oh we will. We are hoping our rep gets fired.
Xian> John sent them a flame mail yesterday basically saying "This has hurt our relationship"
Xian> haha, no
Xian> not really
Xian> they sent us a development laptop with a full build of Unreal Warfare on it
Xian> yep
Xian> Well, we deleted it
Xian> that's a whole can of worms we don't want to get into
Xian> yeah, well, ATI has clearly violated our NDA
Xian> we thought about that.
Xian> but, no
Xian> ATI is on our shitlist righ tnow
Xian> we are not dealing with them until further notice
Xian> no, it's not public chiQ
Xian> We know ATI leaked it. We watermark all releases
Xian> Squiggle: ATI has a relaxed policy about pre-release software. Remeber, they ave us a laptop that had Unreal Warfare loaded on it 3 months ago
Xian> They don't seem to care about strict enforcement of NDA's
Xian> on a positive note, people seem to *REALLY LIKE* the leaked shit

Post 43

Geez, it doesn't take long, does it?

Firstly, there is a patch for the slow fps in Doom3 alpha - get it here.

http://xbetas.com/modules.php?name=Downloads&d_op=viewdownloaddetails&lid=54&ttitle=Doom_3_Alpha_Performance_Fix
Edit - I'm assuming this is the same file that Sly posted earlier, but in RAR format

And of course, cheats/tweaks have been found already.

Here are some usefull keys to get full fun factor out of this leak.

Alias zoom: The toggle command is a bit more powerful than the one u may remember in Quake 3. Instead of switching from value 0 to 1 the format is now [variable] [variable1] [variable2]

so a simple alias zoom > bind z "toggle cg_fov 120 40"

map empty > this will allow you to play in a box with a wireframe map, why would u want to do this well to check out the awesome design of the zombies. Just keep spawning new ones.

THE ZOMBIES

> notarget = the zombies cant see you
> god = i'll let you guess that one

> spawn monster_zombie_maint = calling a zombie
> spawn monster_zombie_fat = call the fat zombie
> spawn monster_zombie_commando = call the zombie with the x milatary halmet
> spawn monster_deomn_imp = u may recall doom II
> monster_zombie_commando_cgun = call the x milatary with a chaingun this time
> monster_deamon_pinky = pinky awwww not really :S

> killMonster = killMonster

If you want to check out all the animations u can skip forward by typing > nextanim or back by typing > prevanim

> screenshot = screenshot

For those interested, this link's probably a good one to bookmark and follow.

I have played it aswell, it Rocks, and scared the shit out of me ..

tn1.new jocks

Post 54

For anyone not sure if the game will run on your GC here is some info.

- John said it will run fine on an 8500 and GF3 with graphics settings on normal, but on high it will have a large performance hit.
- Your GC needs a hardware Pixel Shader as this feature cannot be emulated by your CPU. The following cards have this feature; GeForce3, 4 (not 4MX!!!), Parhelia, Radeon 8500 or higher, SiS Xabre Pro/Ultra and for those that have it the 3DLabs/CreativeLabs P10 :roll:

I can’t play it, but the screenies look awesome. I can’t wait to get either an NV30 or G1100.
BTW it looks as if ATi are now officially in the shit. Firstly UT2K3 was built around nVidia cards and now the creators of the 'other' big game engine for the foreseeable future, is seriously pissed off with them :lol:
Fucking ATi98

Post 55

I can run it on my humble GF2 :D Just... just *chug* barely...

Post 56

Odyssey - apparently it was Ati that leaked the UT2003 demo also. I'm wondering if this is why there is that nVidia splurge at the beginning of UT2003?

Post 57

Ruin, my roommate has a GF2 aswell, he was getting 5FPS *giggles*, but it still ran on his system. i was getting 15fps, GeForce 4200, and they looked the same.

tn1.hmm...

Post 58

Ok update ppl, I just asked a friend of mine and he said that Johnny said that it will actually run on cards without a hardware pixel shader (as you guys have just found out) and he said that the Kyro2 will also run it. Ok since the Radeon 7200, GF2 and Kyro2 can run it and the game is OpenGL I have a large chance it will run on a Voodoo5 *rubs nipples* as I have drivers that run HSR.
The game is already finished, he is just modifying it so it's more efficient and checking for bugs. Apparently in the alpha (pre patch which Sly has most kindly supplied a link to) John said the Kyro2 ran quite well as the HSR in them is very well done and the Alpha is hugely overdrawn.

So open conversations on a public forum about A N Y piracy of A N Y copyrighted goods stops right now..

just thought id say wtf????? doesnt this fall under same category?

Post 60

its an alpha version of the software - not a retail version - if they were (or you were) selling it for money, then it'd be bad

Post 61

This topic would be the same as someone saying, new leaked beta Det drivers are out. No different.

And I think this is something we can all enjoy, I mean common this is DOOM 3 :P

Post 62

if its not a copyright issue then why would selling it be bad if it is a copyright/piracy issue then it falls under the previously stated group and shouldnt be discussed. Just feel its a bit hypocritical is all. Or was it simply the discussion of trading blah blah with ppl? Cause for personal use is normally a fair legal argument im pretty sure.

if it was a retail version, Ie the owner of the software was selling it, then it'd be a straight piracy issue, in that you are correct. As its an alpha release, ie. untested software shipped to product vendors for testing, then it was written to be given out freely. As long as you give it out freely, you are in the spirit of the software release. If you try to sell something thats been given away freely you are trying to steal someone elses "intellectual property" which has a diferent set of penalties altogether.

Blah! hit it pretty much right on the head, its like any other leaked beta or alpha software, the people who leaked it are bad, but there aren't any real legal reprocussions for anyone involved, as it isn't yet "proprietary software"

Post 64

It has been illegally leaked though... oO

Post 65

There are no copyright issues here
aslo disable shadows get like nother 5-7FPS
oced my GC and CPU to the max and got 25-30 FPS and surprisingly in some vidio sequences i got 40-60 looked awsome. Looking at a blank wall id get 60FPS

Post 68

Well, this is starting to get more interesting.

Read this article for more news about confirmation of ATI leaking the demo, and id's response.

http://www.theinquirer.net/?article=6067

Stay tuned...

Oh, and Dowhat - you're only playing the devil's advocate cos you're pissed at the response you got when talking about copying in that other thread.

Go play mind games with someone else - Meph summed it up nicely in his post (BTW, here's your sword back Meph :lol: )

Post 69

anyone got a copy of the demo and live near karama or malak or something so i can come round and grab a copy?
please?

Post 70

*grin* thanks Xaine, I'll make you one the next chance I get :P

If you ask me, there's every danger that Id leaked the software itself to get some free playtesting in and this whole ATI thing is smoke and mirrors :P

Post 71

I'm not so sure, Meph - purely because it's not even really at the stage where you can get any decent playtesting out of it. If id were going to leak it on purpose, I would assume it would be at least a little more polished (ie, not chug on high-end systems).

Still, I will be keeping a close eye on the response to the ATI leak.

Post 75

Yeah dont try run it in 4xAA it doesnt run too well, although it was actually playable. Accidentally had it on when I first loaded up DOOM3 :? TOO much CS :P

Post 76

I strongly disagree that there is no copyright abuse here, what are youse talking about? the intellectual property is not owned by any of the people doing the distributing, therefore anyone who rocked up to court on copyright charges would get done big time

there doesnt have to be a copyright on it at all, if it is arguable that it is not your intellectual property then you can be hauled before the board on charges relating to intellectual property theft, and the pricey ones include for example:

loss of income for ID because the distributed version may have harmed the image of the final release

loss of income becasue people may not buy the full release, opting instead to play the leaked version (crazy, but will stand up in court)

the moderators of this board would be well inclined to remove this thread, but at the end of the day, its free publicity for ID and they are not likely to come down on anyone at all, knowing full well that the final releas will flog this one, and anyone getting it right now is likely a huge fan or enthusiest, and therefore has a low potential impact on their bottom line

shit wrote too much again, guess im spewing as my vid card cant handle the game and i havnt got time atm to play the bloody thing :)

Well, Mephiston - I may yet have to eat my words.

This today in the news - http://www.theinquirer.net/?article=6106

It's about a possible leak from inside id - although if this is found out to be true, I still doubt it was a deliberate leak. Still, this is only at the stage of "insider information" - in other words, do we trust it?

Yeah Sly, its wierd it just counts the overall amount you have DL in eMule, it doesn't acctually tell you how much of te file you hav DL.
But like you said you had 36Mb to go, so thats what you go by.

Dun worry confused to hell outta me too.

Post 86

what would be cool in this game is if they make it so you can hunt through the maps in a team, serious sam style

make bigger maps and more enemies of course, but i reckon it would be excellent, especially as an expansion (return to phobos) or somehing like that

Far as I understand it, Doom 3 doesn't have multiplayer support

Post 89

Doom 3 was surposed to have basic multiplayer... but i was desgined more as a single player game...

which is a pity.. i hope there is an expansion pack which will have a co-op campaign...

Valve was surposedly working on a 2 player co-op expansion for halflife... but it only got ported to the PS2 version.... pity...

wont be taking my box sly :(

will have to trade another time I think swerve has most my stuff now anyway.

got a full hd atm just trying to sort out what I can clean off :)

Post 91

The retail release will have multiplayer, I expect. They probably haven't coded it yet.

Post 92

Coding for multiplayer is in the alpha (I assume, as people are working on multiplayer maps).

These guys talk about it in this thread - http://www.doom3.dk/default.asp?p=viewpost&id=376&answers=60 - as well as mapping for Doom 3.

Post 93

Quote from Mephiston:
Far as I understand it, Doom 3 doesn't have multiplayer support
It's suposed to be single player and also have deathmatch. A multiplayer mod/expansion was planned to come out later, that's if they have stuck to their original plan.

Post 94

From what I've read they don't plan on having coop :(
