Installing Mods (DOOM: The Dark Ages)

Installing DOOM: The Dark Ages mods work the same way as installing DOOM Eternal mods from BEFORE the DOOM Mod Portal was introduced.

Currently, only Steam is officially supported.

Installing the Mod Loader

1. Download the Atlan Mod Loader:
   https://github.com/FlavorfulGecko5/EntityAtlan/releases/tag/ModLoader
   Scroll all the way to the bottom under Assets and download AtlanModLoader.zip
2. Navigate to your DOOM: The Dark Ages installation folder.
   The default path on Steam is C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\DOOMTheDarkAges
3. Unzip all the contents of AtlanModLoader.zip into your DOOM: The Dark Ages installation folder.
   The file, AtlanModLoader.exe should be in the same folder as DOOMTheDarkAges.exe

Loading and Unloading Mods

1. In your DOOM: The Dark Ages installation folder, open the mods folder.
2. Place all your downloaded game mod .zip files into the mods folder.
   Do not unzip the mods!

To install your mods, either:

• Run DarkAgesModManager.exe for a friendly interface to manage your mods.
• Run AtlanModLoader.exe to quickly install your mods and launch the game.

To uninstall your mods, either:

• Uncheck them in DarkAgesModManager.exe then run the mod loader.
• Manually move them out of the mods folder and run AtlanModLoader.exe

Common Questions/Issues:

1. The game is crashing on startup when mods are installed:

   Delete the file modloader_cache.bin located in your installation folder, then run AtlanModLoader.exe again.

2. My Anti-Virus software is flagging Atlan Mod Loader as a virus:

   These are false positives, which may or may not happen depending on your anti-virus setup. Ignore the warning and allow the mod loader to run anyway.

3. What platforms are supported:

   Currently, only Steam is officially supported. If you'd like to help add support for other storefronts, come join the modding Discord linked above.
   
   Atlan Mod Loader also does not support pirated versions of the game, and we cannot help you with them.
