Bug 133996 – games-fps/doom3-ducttape should install in its own subdirectory

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

Hi, there are lots of flashlight mods for Doom 3. Here's a list:

http://doom3.filefront.com/files/Doom_III/Mods/Flashlights;5524

The problem with Doom 3 mods is that they all-too-often conflict with one another, by both trying to redefine the same things, causing Doom 3 to misbehave or crash with nasty error messages. The only reasonable solution is to install each mod in its own subdirectory, to keep them separate.

This patch isolates doom3-ducttape, preventing it from crashing e.g. doom3-dungeon (bug #127147) and doom3-lms - as mentioned in the FAQ ("make sure you don't have any mods/extra pk4s in your doom3/base directory") at:

Oops, moved the file creation to src_unpack().

Fixed in CVS with the ~arch version...
