Duct Tape - a Doom 3 mod

Under the crazy presumption that a roll of duct tape has to exist somewhere on the Mars facility, the Duct Tape mod sticks flashlights to your machinegun and shotgun. In order to preserve the atmosphere, these new lights are much narrower (and a little brighter) than the standard flashlight, and are only available on the basic weapons. The pistol is not equipped with a flashlight, so as not to spoil the early sections of the game.

Download

A readme.txt within the archive contains installation instructions. Note that the file now contains files for both Doom3 1.3 and Doom3: Resurrection of Evil. For Doom3 1.3, copy the pak008.pk4 file into your /base folder, for Resurrection of Evil, copy the pak002.pk4 file into the appropriate folder (no idea what it's called as I don't have it). Be careful not to overwrite your existing /base/pak002.pk4 folder.

Misc/FAQ

• Duct Tape was downloaded over 80,000 times in the first 24 hours of its release (not including downloads from the mirrors at various mod sites).
• A toggle to turn the light on and off is coming. Perhaps.
• The smaller cone is intentional (see above); if you want it as large as the flashlight, either use Duct Tape 0001 or replace lights/flashlight6.tga in pak005.pk4 with lights/flashlight5.tga from pak001.pk4
• Not adding the flashlight to all the weapons is also intentional (see above).
• The Doom3 SDK is not available - all you need to create mods like this is in the .pk4 files (use an unzip utility on them).
• It's a mod - that it changes the game to something not intended by id is a given. Most find the game more fun using it, you may not.
• If you really feel like it, donations (server costs, the usual stuff) can be sent here:
