Hey,

 

I noticed in the mission list my mission didn't have my author name in it, so I edited the darkmod.txt file in my mission folder

and added it, and now the game crashes to desktop every single time. I figured corrupt save file, so deleted that, no help.

I redownloaded my mission from the forum, and still it crashes.

 

Anyone know why? How do I fix it?

 

Thanks

At what point does it crash to desktop? Before entering the main menu, when starting to load an FM (is it just a specific FM or all FMs?), when finished loading? Which version of TDM are you running?

 

It's before it gets to the main menu. You never even see it. It crashes during the grey screen.

Fixed: It was wrong format of Author in darkmod.txt in my fm I think. I deleted it and it sorted it.

I had this same problem for a long time. Every mission I tried crashed to desktop about halfway through loading. FYI My box is a win 7 32 bit ultimate with geforce 730 2gig and 8 gigs ram with an ASUS P8p67- LE mobo. It worked really well before TDM 2.07, but not after. The problem is memory Allocation. Its a malloc failure (268435456)- at least im my case. None of the usual fixes to the config file worked nor did anything else.  After considerable research and study of the problem i found that In win 7 32bit you can't get past about 3.9gig limit even if you have 8gigs of ram. I upgraded my box to win 7 64 bit ultimate clean install (dual boot so all the old stuff i had is still available) and now the malloc error is gone and TDM runs perfect. It just needed a 64 bit system to be able to allocate properly. I hope this helps others with this vexing problem. TDM is too good to miss.

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      I wanna play Doom 3, but fhDoom has much better features than dhewm3, yet fhDoom is old, outdated and probably not supported.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