The path will vary depending on where Doom 3 is installed but it's this entry that needs amending with a few command line parameters (variables). The image opposite shows what you'll most likely see a series of text input fields - the field we want is marked ' Target' and shows the default directory / file path to the Doom 3 game executable similar to below "E:\Program Files\Doom 3\Doom3.exe" A window will open similar to the one opposite which has a number of tabbed 'pages' ' General', ' Shortcut' and ' Compatibility'. Right click on the new icon and select ' properties'. Once that's been done it's here that the extra parameters need to be added so we need access to the 'properties' of the shortcut icon itself (you can normally change the icon picture used by the shortcut in here as well). Rename it appropriately - 'D3Edit' for instance.
DOOM 3 MAPPING INSTALL
It's usual to have to create a separate shortcut for the editor as one isn't made by default when you install the game, so if you haven't got one find the Doom 3 executable in the Doom 3 installation directory (by default that's usually C:\Program Files\Doom 3) folder and simply right click, 'send to' -> desktop. These need to be appended to the 'command line' of the actual shortcut you use to start the application.

If you're having trouble getting the editor to even start, the following settings are generally considered as a good set of parameters to use. For this to work correctly.Įdit the desktop shortcut so it points to the correct location and has the correct parameters. By that it's meant utilising custom content created for use with a specific 'add-on' modification of the default game.
