All gone dark

TDM has been running perfectly well up until now (Linux 32-bit). Now, though, it loads and runs (I can hear the music and the keypresses) but the screen is blank.

 

It may be the fact that I've just successfully loaded and run the latest version of Dark Radiant, and I may have inadvertently changed something I shouldn't have - but I simply don't know.

 

Any help for my aching brain would be appreciated.

Thanks for the reply, wwwarrick, but I was just about to post as I've fixed my problem, if not the cause. Something had changed my video driver (the driver was still there but had been changed to an alternative, and the alternative won't drive TDM. I've changed back, and all is now OK.

 

So I'm reasonably happy. Now, though, I have to begin the hunt for the reason the driver got changed in teh first place, but that cannot have anything to do with TDM itself.

Hmm... I will take a look and see if perhaps something similar happened to my system as well. Glad you got it working again!

      Does anyone actually use the Normalise button in the Surface inspector? Even after looking at the code I'm not quite sure what it's for.

      Turns out my 15th anniversary mission idea has already been done once or twice before! I've been beaten to the punch once again, but I suppose that's to be expected when there's over 170 FMs out there, eh? I'm not complaining though, I love learning new tricks and taking inspiration from past FMs. Best of luck on your own fan missions!

      I wanna play Doom 3, but fhDoom has much better features than dhewm3, yet fhDoom is old, outdated and probably not supported. Damn!
      Makes me think that TDM engine for Doom 3 itself would actually be perfect.

      Maybe a bit of advice ? In the FM series I'm preparing, the two main characters have the given names Toby and Agnes (it's the protagonist and deuteragonist, respectively), I've been toying with the idea of giving them family names as well, since many of the FM series have named protagonists who have surnames. Toby's from a family who were usually farriers, though he eventually wound up working as a cobbler (this serves as a daylight "front" for his night time thieving). Would it make sense if the man's popularly accepted family name was Farrier ? It's an existing, though less common English surname, and it directly refers to the profession practiced by his relatives. Your suggestions ?

      Looks like the "Reverse April Fools" releases were too well hidden. Darkfate still hasn't acknowledge all the new releases. Did you play any of the new April Fools missions?
