Game Errors

[HauntHunter]

I've been catching up on TDM missions lately and after I install the mission, I get a Game Error like this at the load screen, "ID AF ENTITY_BASE LOAD AF: couldn't load AF file 'env_skeleton' on entity 'atdm_env_ragdoll_skeleton_1'.

 

What's causing this and how can I repair it? Thanks!

Which mission?

[Lux]

Let's start with a little more background. Which mission/s? What OS? Where is the game directory located? How are you launching the game? We're using Doom 3 and not Doom 3 BFG, correct?

 

Have you successfully ran other missions?

[Obsttorte]

The skeleton has been renewed, so my guess is that you play a mission that uses the 2.0 skeleton, but having TDM 1.8.

The mission this time is WS1: In the North, but it's happened on several other missions as well. I can play some missions without a game error occurring.

 

OS - Win7

 

Game Directory - c:\games\doom3\darkmod\

 

Launching the game from a desktop icon pointed to C:\Games\Doom3\darkmod\TheDarkMod.exe.

 

I'm running Doom3 off of Steam. How do I check the version?

 

DarkMod version is 1.08.

 

Thanks.

right click on the D3.exe file and go to the properties and then details. The version number should be there.

[HauntHunter]

At this path - C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\Doom 3\ - doom3.exe is file version 1.0.0.1.

 

Thanks.

[Lux]

So doom 3 is @C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\Doom 3\ - doom3.exe

and TDM is @C:\Games\Doom3\darkmod\TheDarkMod.exe

?_?

 

Did you copy your steam doom3 directory to C:\Games\Doom3\ ?

[HauntHunter]

I don't think so.

[Lux]

I wonder how that's even working. TDM directory, as far as I know, needs to be in a child directory of Doom 3.

 

I have mine at C:\Games\Doom3\ and then the darkmod is C:\Games\Doom3\darkmod\

 

I have the Steam version also. All I did was just copy everything in the Doom 3 steam directory and paste it in to C:\Games\Doom3\

 

Then TDM worked fine for me. I even uninstalled it from Steam to save disk space. I think TDM just needs it there for the engine/assets/etc. and because its a Doom 3 mod, but what do I know.

 

Maybe give that a shot.

Lux, I just tried your recommendation and that seemed to work for this mission! I'll try it with the other ones too. Thanks alot!

[Lux]
