  • Thief's Den now works but the title in the Alchemist hasn't been changed in darkmod.txt and it doesn't work
  • I wonder if there is a propagation problem with Thiefs Den not working and then working
  • I just installed The Alchemist from the link above and it works fine

  • Will check and fix
  • What problem is that?
  • All the files from the DB links were uploaded to the mirrors, so i can only think you didnt remove all traces of said mission before redownloading them.

Propagation problem - I wondered if there was more than one mirror and the download hadn't propagated across them

I removed the fm folder and installed from the link in the beta forums and it worked

I just removed the folder again and downloaded using the game installer and this is the result

 

 

 

This is the darkmod.txt file contents

 

Title:Alchemist

Description:(Thief's Den 4)

 

Try to get a special holy healing potion from an alchemist to offset any possible effects of the Heart of Lone Salvation. Sam paid with his life; Martha with her mind. Will YOU be in time? A city/mansion FM.

Author: Sotha & Fidcal

Required TDM Version: 1.02

 

Deleted FM again and this time downloaded via the link in the beta forums and it works properly

This is the darkmod.txt file contents

 

Title: TD4: Alchemist

Description: Thief's Den Series

Try to get a special holy healing potion from an alchemist to offset any possible effects of the Heart of Lone Salvation.

Sam paid with his life; Martha with her mind. Will YOU be in time? A city/mansion FM.

The reason for you getting an old version most of the time can be found in these traces, generated just a few minutes ago by me.

Only one of the mirrors has the new file. The other two still have the old one.

It appears to me, that the new file has been uploaded to all 3 servers, but not to the URLs that have been registered for the ingame downloader to use.

These are the outdated links for Thief's Den:

'http://www.fidcal.com/darkuser/missions/TDM2testmissions/thiefsden.pk4'

'http://www.southquarter.com/tdm/fms/TDM2testmissions/thiefsden.pk4'

 

The updated files (April 2014) are here:

'http://www.fidcal.com/darkuser/missions/thiefsden.pk4'

'http://www.southquarter.com/tdm/fms/thiefsden.pk4'

 

I think it would be best to update the mission DB to point to the updated files ... and scrap the ones in the TDM2testmissions directory.

I don't see why that directory should be used anymore - except for testing maybe.

 

 

EDIT:

 

The same issue with the Alchemist. Both links in the mission DB refer to the old version :

'www.southquarter.com/tdm/fms/TDM2testmissions/alchemist.pk4'

'www.fidcal.com/darkuser/missions/TDM2testmissions/alchemist.pk4'

 

The updated files (April 2014) are actually here:

'http://www.southquarter.com/tdm/fms/alchemist.pk4'

'http://www.fidcal.com/darkuser/missions/alchemist.pk4'

      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).
