A doubt a name change is ever going to happen, for many reasons.

How about the name I suggested as a joke years ago? "Stop THIEF!" lol

That was a cool board game that had a calculator that calculated where the thief was moving and the board was set up in Clue-like manner with different buildings to chase him around.
Could be confused ;)

if I run TDM without having Doom 3, what will happen ?
Don't try it yet: for me today half of the missions crash, the other half has no lighting (only ambient_light).

Well it's sort of cool for the record... Here I am walking around in standalone TDM yay. But yeah, they're not exactly playable.

What are your system specs..
Windows 7 Pro 64 bit
Intel i7 4x 2,4 GHZ HT, 4 GB Ram
AMD Radeon HD 6770M
SoundBlaster Play with most current drivers
Alchemy with most current version.
It doesn't matter whether I use alchemy or not. (=it doesn't matter if I use the dsound.dll/.ini and in which folder - tried both the one with doom3.exe and thedarkmod.exe). As soon as EAX is enabled (Yes, EAX 4.0 is supported by the SBP) nothing but the training mission will load. I cannot paste the error message right now, since I don't have Windows under my fingers at the moment. But it had something to do with Open AL.

Well yer specs looks fine, so yeah if you can get a copy of the error I will than ask back on the tdm forums, or you could come over there and ask yerself etc.

Now know as The Dark Standalone
Seriously though, a name change is not neccessary. For practical purposes The Dark Mod has already established itself and a name change would only confuse people. We would also have to re-establish the mod again with a new name.
Also when a name is composed of words that have individual meanings, their definitions can loose meaning over time. This is common among music bands for example The Sex Pistols. The individual words have seperate meanings but after listening to their music for many years I no longer associate the words with their meanings unless they are used seperately in a sentence that makes sense eg "He was shot with a pistol". For me The Sex Pistols are a punk band and have nothing to do with a physical act of intamacy or a weopon. I associate The dark Mod with steampunk stealth gaming and not a Doom 3 mod.
Also i think it is a credit to The Dark Mod team that they acknowledge their roots. It started as a mod and it's a testimony to their talent and commitment that they've taken it so far.

Maybe I have this wrong, but just because it's standalone doesn't mean it's NOT a mod, right? To not be a mod, I would think the entire game and engine would need to have been written from scratch.
