Training mission doesn't start


Quant

Recommended Posts

Hi folks,

 

I'm trying to get TDM working, but already have problems with the training mission:

 

I ran tdm_update.exe successfully. (Repeated that step, just to be sure, it says "All done, your TDM installation is up-to-date").

Then I started tdmlauncher.exe and installed the training mission (game did restart ok afterwards).

 

(*1)

When trying to play the training mission, the objectives/difficulty choice screen shows.

After selecting "Start this mission" there, the "Loading mission" progress bar comes up; when it reaches 100% I see a "Preparing to start mission, please wait" message.

After a few seconds of disk activity the game pops back to the objectives/difficulty choice screen. -> back to (*1). This is repeatable continously, I never get to playing the mission actually.

 

Doom3 is the "Green Pepper" - "Original US-version Uncut" - DVD (from Amazon)

I did update to version 1.3.1.

The Doom3-game itself runs without any problems.

System: Windows 2000, 5.00.2195, Service Pack 4; P4 2.40 GHz; 1GB RAM

GFX: ATI Radeon X800 XT

 

The tdmlauncher.log log file is quite unspectacular:

Path to tdmlauncher is E:\Games\Doom 3\darkmod\tdmlauncher.exe
Darkmod directory is E:\Games\Doom 3\darkmod\
Trying default value for engine executable is E:\Games\Doom 3\DOOM3.exe
Found engine executable in E:\Games\Doom 3\DOOM3.exe
Current FM is: training_mission
Full argument string is: +set fs_game_base darkmod  +set fs_game training_mission
Starting process E:\Games\Doom 3\DOOM3.exe +set fs_game_base darkmod  +set fs_game training_mission
Closing logfile.

 

Any ideas what could be wrong? I already tried to rename the folder "Doom 3" to "Doom3" because of the space-problem I read about here - didn't change anything, just yielded the same results as above.

 

Cheers,

Alex

Try starting the training mission again only this time when it fails and kicks you back to the objectives screen, press CTRL + ALT + ~ to bring down the console and type "condump console.txt" to dump the contents of the console to a text file.

 

Now attach console.txt to a post here so we can examine it for errors.

I hate to sound like a broken record but I have been testing some of the latest ATI driver releases and this is the exact symptom for having Catalyst AI enable in many of them... :(

I'll feel foolish if this is it but (didn't see this before):

 

couldn't exec autoexec.cfg

 

might mean you need to delete your autoexec.cfg...

 

(or comment out things that aren't right)

Yep, as I said, my replies are mostly lazy guesswork :laugh:... (I should've went back to the wiki too... just posted common stuff off the top of my head)...

      I've finally managed to log in to The Dark Mod Wiki. I'm back in the saddle and before the holidays start in full, I'll be adding a few new FM articles and doing other updates. Written in Stone is already done.

      You cannot receive PMs. Could you please be so kind and check your mailbox if it is full (or maybe you switched off the function)?

      I like the new frob highlight but it would nice if it was less "flickery" while moving over objects (especially barred metal doors).
