Hey Marshall - I put the mod pack into the doom3 base directory and 
things worked as you had explained...BUT my game loads were messed up. 
Specifically, whenever I tried to load, it would put me at the beginning 
of the level - not at the exact point in the level where I had saved.  I 
experimented a bit, thinking I had done something else, but only when I 
removed the mod pack from the base directory, was I able to correctly 
load games.  Not sure why this occurred...?
