Doom3

Here you'll get instructions of how to install a linux dedicated Doom3 server. I find this one of the easiest servers to install.

Getting the files

Download the DOOM III GNU/Linux x86 1.1 client and server
doom3-linux-1.3.1302.x86.run

You'll also need the Doom3 CD-Rom!

Setup

Create a doom3 installation directory
$ mkdir /usr/local/games/doom3
$ cd /usr/local/games/doom3
Run the DOOM III GNU/Linux x86 1.1 installer
$ chmod +x ./doom3-linux-1.1.1286.x86.run
$ ./doom3-linux-1.1.1286.x86.run
Copy the pak00x.pk4 files from your Doom3 CD-Rom to your base dir
$ cp /path/to/cdrom/base/pak000.pk4 ./base
$ cp /path/to/cdrom/base/pak001.pk4 ./base
$ cp /path/to/cdrom/base/pak002.pk4 ./base
$ cp /path/to/cdrom/base/pak003.pk4 ./base
$ cp /path/to/cdrom/base/pak004.pk4 ./base

Running the server

$ ./doom3-dedicated

Configuring ports

The following UDP ports are need to be configured for playing Doom3:

  • UDP 27666
  • UDP 27667
  • UDP 27668
