[Mac problems launching TDM]

After investigating text files inside the app package it seems that directories are hardcoded in OSX executables.

Getting back to my working setup:

1) Downloaded files and unpacked following method 1

2) Moved all the unpacked files exept for executable "The Dark Mod" from ~/tdminstall/The\ Dark\ Mod.app/Contents/MacOS/ into ~/tmdinstall/

3) Moved default mission files from ~/tdminstall/fms into ~/Library/Application Support/darkmod/fms

4) In order to have the game accessible from launchpad made a simlink ln -s ~/tdminstall/The\ Dark\ Mod.app /Applications/The\ Dark\ Mod.app

 

So I would suggest modifying the instruction from #20 so that the files are unpacked directly into ~/tdminstall folder instead of~/tdminstall/The\ Dark\ Mod.app/Contents/MacOS/.

I finally managed to start the game - I moved files manually from inside the package to tdminstall directory. Before following instruction in this post I tried to install game with traditional setup with automatic update. So possibly there is a mess with directiories from the previous install. The effect is that new working install does not see any mission on start. After downloading mission manually it is stored in ~/Library/Application Support/darkmod directory. Any hints how to change directory settings?

Hello,

 

I have been TDM fan for years playing on Linux. However recently moved to Mac and have no luck starting the game. I followed freyk's instruction method 1 from #20 but starting failed. Issuing spctl command made no difference.
