Fix your assets and look into your qconsole.log.

I just downloaded Zombie's map from http://www.moddb.com/mods/sikkmod/addons/nightmare-burrows and extracted it into a testmod/ folder.
Then I created the testmod.cmd in it with

cd..
start /high RBDoom3BFG.exe +set fs_game_base testmod +set fs_resourceLoadPriority 0

It runs without any problems.

I already ran the mod with RBDoom 3 BFG, but with main game with extracted assets. All I did was I deleted extracted assets and kept resources (as if I just downloaded D3BFG through Steam).

I'll run debug build and see what's up.

Ok, tried and retried, with unpacked and packed resources - RBDoom 3 BFG crashes when loading a map, containing monsters/any skeletal stuff, from a mod folder.

so, no custom monsters/ragdolls? Regretable, but doable.

Motorstep, you may have already said, but is there a way to make custom resource packages that will avoid this limitation?

Not in the mod folder, which is indeed regretable. I had no problem having map made and loaded from mod folder. But as soon as I added AI, RBDoom 3 BFG just crashed silently. I can probably debug it, if trebor is willing to fix it.

I am willing to bet that there will be more crashes. No one mods the game, and since no one does, trebor probably has no interest in fixing something no one uses.

I don't believe so. The issue is with how .resources are managed and how engine treats virtual file system.

My bet is placed on running a compiled .EXE (D3BFG/RBDOOM) with the minimum data set own game (without the original .resources sets at all).

Now it's just an unpacking /base folder with simple test map and stuff. It's still unstable. But looks like there is no need to:

+set fs_game_base testmod +set fs_resourceLoadPriority 0

But I did not go so far as creating AI.

Good next point.
