Can not download new missions


pwl

Recommended Posts

I have tried to download new mission within the game and get cannot connect to server. This started happening after I updated to 2.06. I know I am connected because I ran the updater again and it says all files up to date and I am now on this Forum typing this.

The in game down loader is not working it says can not connect to server? But I can download it from the web sites and it works fine. I think this started after I used a thumb drive and it changed the drive letter of my solid state hard drive from G: to H: If this is the case how do I fix it? Dark mod is on this hard drive and it is still working just fine but the in game down loader does not.

Ok I change the drive letters back to what they were but the in game down loader gives me: Unable to contact mission archive, Cannot connect to server error

 

I don't know what has gone wrong with my install. The game works fine it is just the down loader. I have look in all of the settings options to no avail.

Downloading missions in-game works fine for me (but only for exe-file which I don't restrict with Windows firewall).

I have tried to copy my TDM 2.06 installation to other drive, and I can still download missions from the copy without problems.

 

I think you should check to things:

1) That everyone is allowed to write into the directory with TDM installation. If it is write-protected or has restricted permissions, then TDM cannot save downloaded file there, and most likely reports a generic error.

2) Check that you don't have any type of firewall forbiding TDM internet access.

      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      I wanna play Doom 3, but fhDoom has much better features than dhewm3, yet fhDoom is old, outdated and probably not supported.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?
