Modding Doom 3 BFG On Steam Deck

[babilonmusic]

Hi,

I'm currently trying to revive my interest in this master piece but after investing 35 hours on it; I would like tyo try a different approach to this game: I've checked different mods like RBDOOM 3 BFG but they change for worse the lighting and textures.

Is not there a way to mod the game like adding new weapons, (e.g. fixed recoil, adding laser sight to the weapons, zooming while aming, etc etc) and mechanics without modding graphics? Is there any mod which work well on Steam Deck? (Lutris version works very badly)

Hi there,

DOOM BFA (fork of an older version of RBDoom) has been tested and works on Steam Deck.
Besides that you can also check moddb for a variety of mods (sadly not too many)

Ok, thanks! How do I add thr mods? Do I put them into "base" folder or do I have to create a "mod" folder?

Just throw them in the game's folder and use the launch argument +set fs_game <mod folder name>

Thanks again! Do you know what are the specific mods which work with Doom BFA Edition? Thanks in advance

In general anything in the addons section of DOOM BFA's moddb page. Beyond that any mod that supports RBDOOM-3-BFG 1.2 or earlier should be compatible.

Ok, thanks a lot; I'll try.
