NAME

       DarkRadiant - the level editor for The Dark Mod

SYNOPSIS

       darkradiant [ options ] filename

DESCRIPTION

       DarkRadiant is a level editor for The Dark Mod. It loads and saves Doom 3-format *.map files, making use
       of assets within a game installation tree.

OPTIONS

       --disable-sound
             Disable  the  sound  manager module. This may be useful if there are problems with sound devices on
             the system.

       fs_game=game
             Override the configured fs_game value.

       fs_game_base=game_base
             Override the configured fs_game_base value.

             In order to allow maximum customisability by after-market mods, the id software game engines use  a
             three-directory  system: the base directory, which is where the core game assets are installed, and
             then two mod-specific directories known  as  fs_game  and  fs_game_base.   The  intention  is  that
             fs_game_base is used for the common mod assets, and fs_game is available for individual map authors
             to further customise assets used in their own releases.

             When  editing  Dark  Mod  missions,  typically fs_game_base would be set to "darkmod", with fs_game
             either left blank or set to the value associated with a particular map author's own release.

             These values are normally configured in preferences, but they can be overridden on the command line
             if required.

       filename
             Path to a map file to load. This may be either an absolute filesystem path, or a mod-local path.

BUGS

       The lighting render mode is very limited compared to the Doom 3 rendering system.  In  particular,  there
       are no stencil shadows, foglights or any other complex lighting effects.

       It's too big and too slow.
