Help! Can't dmap

[grayman]

My file structure is "doom 3/mymap/maps/mymap.map".

 

I invoke dmap using "dmap mymap.map".

 

This has worked fine for a couple months, but after playing a fan mission (Heart) for a while, dmap now says it can't find mymap.map.

 

How do I get dmap back on track?

 

Thanks.

Uninstall Heart. Alternatively...

 

If you want to both play FMs and develop your own map and test play it in its own game folder as you are then create a new doom3 shortcut. Do not use tdmlauncher - keep that only for managing and playing other FMs. Add to your doom3 shortcut the args:

 

+set fs_game mymap

 

So with the console enabled it reads something like:

 

C:\doom 3\Doom3.exe +seta com_allowConsole 1 +set fs_game mymap

 

I'm not sure about the space in your doom 3 folder. If a problem then remove it.

Thanks for the suggestions.

 

I had already tried uninstalling Heart, and dmap still failed. Some setting was silently changed for running fms, and uninstalling didn't change it back.

 

Using the command line options on a Doom 3 shortcut allows dmap to find the map, but it knows nothing of the darkmod resources, so it fails loading textures, etc.

 

I added the options to the tdmlauncher shortcut, but dmap still can't find the map.

 

Still broken.

dmap can't find the map, so it hasn't had a chance yet to see if there's a leak.

Change the line in "darkmod/currentfm.txt" to mymap

When you dmap don't add the extension .map, just "dmap mymap"

That did it.

 

Thanks!

 

Now back to my map.

Sorry, I missed out part of the doom 3 shortcut. This is what the arguments should be...

 

+set fs_game_base darkmod +set fs_game mymap

 

currentfm.txt is used only by tdmlauncher. If you use that method then whenever you play some other FM then currentfm.txt will change and you will have to remember that you may have conflict.

That works now. I'll use that method so I don't have problems switching back and forth to published missions.

 

Thanks.
