You play on the nexus 4? How is the fps with shadows and low resolution?

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus

It varies a lot. Some places I get 30-40, other places is 20-30, and places with a lot of gunfire and action can go down to 5-10. This is still in development though so it should improve on the final release.

Do you get an error at all or does it just kick you back to your homescreen? If it just kicks you back with no error, do you get to the part where it says loading game and initializing menus, or is the kick immediate?

Hmm I've never experienced that before. You extracted the configuration files I posted into the base folder? Is the game modded at all, and is it updated to 1.3.1? Beyond that I don't know, possibly just an incompatibility with your phone.

No problem:D

noooo theres a problem now, first the game would start and load, but then the same screen as Garridon, so I've updated the game (my error) but I still got the same screen, so I've started all over again, installed doom 3 on pc, updated and then copied everything in the phone, now it won't even load the menu, it goes to the home screen

even after the update the .exe file says that it is a 1.0.0.1 version, what? :(

Did you extract the gl2progs folder into your base folder? If it's in there, try clearing the app data of the Doom 3 app on the phone. Make sure to point the app to the working directory on your phone again if it's not in the diii4a folder.

alright after doing all over again I've managed to reach the menu again, now the "loading" screen stops at around 80%, no error shown, this must be because of my hardware, I'll wait for the new phone I was just testing it out on my old dual core tablet, can't wait for dem 4 1.7 ghz cores :)

thanks for your help and time

up
decreasing video to low and having the light at 1 made me reach the first video after the loading screen, then it crashed, confirmed for hardware problem, for anyone that wonders, don't buy a ZTE V11A, thanks ;)

I'm not seeing any of the lighting and shadows with the version downloaded from OP. Where can I get this enabled?

Check one of my posts previously. Though I warn you, you need a really high end device for it to be playable.

Strange, it should be enabled by default with the configuration files I posted. Try doing what Garridon said and change the app's command line to look like this: "game.arm +set r_noLight 0" without quotes.

    This has finally been officially released on the Play Store under the name DIII4A! And it is still free to download! You can download it from the follow link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.n0n3m4.DIII4A&hl=en

    This new release does not have much for an increase in performance, but it does have a simplified installation. The gl2progs folder is no longer needed as the app installs it and the configuration files are also not really needed, but can still be used for more advanced tweaking. There are also new options to use ETC1 compression and cache, but I would recommend leaving those off as it increased loading times for me and also reduced performance by a little bit.

    This game runs great on my Nexus 4 and other high-end devices! Playing with the onscreen controls is obviously not very good, but if you have a PS3 controller lying around you can get it to work perfectly with it using the Sixaxis Controller app. Just make sure to set it up to emulate a mouse and choose enable mouse in the app's control options (requires root). Purchase a GameKlip too for the ultimate gaming experience on the go! Mouse and keyboard also work great through either bluetooth or USB OTG.

    1) Install Doom 3 on your PC and make sure it is updated to the latest version which is 1.3.1.

    2) Copy over the base folder from the Doom 3 installation on your PC to your phone into a folder called diii4a. You can change the folder name if you like, just make sure you point the app to the new folder and you CANNOT put spaces in the folder name.

    3) Install the app. The latest version is currently v1.1.

    4) Start it up and you should have this amazing game running on your phone or tablet. Network features also work and you can even play games with people playing on PC! Here is a YouTube video showing this in action: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sN26X93NUno
    Thanks to InsaneNutter for pointing this out!

    Also, if you're running it on an older device and the fps are too low, you can disable all the lighting effects by just selecting the "Disable lighting" option at the main menu of the app. The game will run MUCH smoother.

    Here is a great step-by-step video tutorial by RolandDeschain79 that also shows some gameplay comparisons between having the lighting enabled and disabled on his Note 2. Thanks man!

    Compiles Maps Too!

    Cool. It compiles maps too!

    I had to relearn the editor just to do this. lol

    Here is typing the command (dmap) which compiles the map:
    0.jpg

    The game takes a few seconds, prints the compile log to console, and now we can run our freshly complied map:

    I'm still trying to figure out what is so dang hard for it to render. Two monsters, a box map, and two lights, and it runs the same as SP levels:

    How to play Doom 3 on Android video

    I'm not sure then. My only suggestion would be to start over completely from scratch, read the OP very carefully, clear the data for the app, and maybe try another copy of Doom 3. It's been confirmed working on the Note 2 so it has to be your set up somehow.

    EDIT: I was looking at your screenshot again and is your base folder inside a folder called diii4a or is it just at the root of your SD card?

    Hey Traybourne It works fine on my Note 2:good: I made a little video explaining how to install Doom 3 onto Android, feel free to add it to your OP if you like. I tweaked my Doom 3 game a lot back in the day to squeeze out as much performance as possible. I liked how you included the autoexe config, I started to mess around with it a bit. I read a great Doom 3 tweaking guide, checkout the link below. I turned off little things like player shadows, further tweaking should be possible and I wanted to share the info. I included the configs I used in the video below. Thanks for great tweaking ideas:good:
