  1. thanks, but that would help if it would be ingame related problems i guess... i tryed it anyway but: no luck... i don't even get this far to see any graphic bugs like black walls or white models without textures or somethin' like that... and that shatter the nerves right now. i start the mod and its just that f*** up black screen with music in the back and loading errors in console. i mean, as you could see in the screenshots above (first postings up this thread) the console is reporting, that the game is unable to load everything - except the menu-theme and button sounds as it seems it's not the driver, cause i could play EVERY F**** mod for doom3 i tryed (4 or 5 mods..) and the game itself with good frames, everything high and no graphic errors or bugs. so. i dunno. can't stand it anymore. i tryed the whole f*** day to start it. still no luck. thats just depressing. edit: i even downloaded the WHOLE mod again, via update.exe - STILL NOT WORKING.
  2. I have been playing this recently and got this bug many times, but after re-making the config file many times, I have found that changing the Anti-Alias settings is causing the game to have a black screen. There was one time that I managed to successfully enable anti-aliasing, but I have not been able to since
  3. Hello, I have Doom in the correctly patched version and i have directed the darkmod folder into the Doom 3 folder and i can also run the darmod by starting up Doom 3 and then clicking on the "mods" menu. But as soon as i start the mod, the normal Doom 3 load screen pops up where it says "initializing menues" and stuff like that and then all i get is the sound and a black screen. I can't even see the menu! I just get the cursor and the sound. Can anyone help me with that problem?
  4. I fixed my id+black screen* removing from darkmod/fms the folder of the mission I failed to correctly install and the most recent modified files in the darkmod folder (currentfm, gamex86.dll, doomconfig.cfg, tdmlauncher.log). *caused by my closing the darkmod with alt+f4 when the screen was apparently unresponsive. While I doubt the log file matter, maybe the currentfm can be a problem too?
  5. I have this problem as well, however I can reproduce it quite easily. 1. Install a fan mission after a fresh install of TDM. 2. Install another fan mission or uninstall the one that was installed in step 1. 3. Black screen. Also, the load screen before the main menu is the default Doom 3 one, only without the texts (i.e. Loading game, Initialising Menu) I have tried using the methods found in the previous posts, but none of them worked. Deleting all TDM related files in my Doom3 file and then re-downloading the whole 1.4GB TDM again solves this problem though. So far it meant that I need to download the whole mod again for every fm i want to play, but I'll now try making a backup of the TDM files to get quick acess to them.
  6. I have the same problem. After launching TDM by doubleclicking thedarkmod.exe, I get a black screen, but the sound runs as normal. I also get the mouseover sound effects when I move the mouse over a menu item. This started yesterday, after I updated to version 1.08. My Doom 3 version is 1.3.1.1304, Win7 Home Premium, Phenom II X4 965, 4 GB RAM, ATI Radeon HD 5800 graphics card, native resolution 1680x1050, which I've also edited DoomConfig to. As I don't know what would go into an autoexec file I can't try that option.
  7. You will need to make sure that image_useAllFormats and image_usePreCompressedTextures are both 1. There are situations where these will default to 0, in that case you will get a black screen and cursor, as described. I think this will fix it. You will also need to understand that Intel gfx is beyond the scope of what we will try to actively support. Hatemail for this topic can be directed to Intel. It also looks like you are using PulseAudio - in which case, you're going to have trouble at the next turn. Hatemail for this can be direct to Ubuntu devs for picking the worst horse.
  8. I recently tried to install TDM with the 1.07 Linux installer but for some reason it doesn't download the actual launcher script.

Is there a mirror that I can just download the launch script straight from? Also if I go to the "mods" section of Doom3 and try launching the game I get an engine restart with a black screen with music but no windows. Is there something I'm missing? Thanks.
  9. I tried all the suggestions and none worked. Deleting the config file, now launches TDM non windowed but still just a black screen. I had several D3 mods, deleted all but TDM, but will try a reinstall. That's about all it likely can be at this point! Thanks for the suggestions and will try to feedback once it is working. PS: launching via D3 tdm mod and TDMlauncher results in the same thing btw. Happy gaming all!!
  10. cannot start tdm 1.04 after updating from 1.03 ERROR: Error: file script/tdm_events.script, line 215: Unknown event 'log' updater says all ok. 1.03 was working update: downloaded from torrent, works now. seems like my files was changed update2: no, I'm unable to run this version. the second time I launch it, black screen with a cursor appears and music playing. also id logo instead of tdm. I'm on Windows7 64, nvidia drivers 266.58 it seems it was a problem in DoomConfig.cfg now working after deleting it)
  11. After a while I wanted to play the dark mod again, I am happy to see the community is still active. I once again got the `black screen' on startup, and I solved it the same way. The get the feeling of the game again I wanted to play the Training Mission, but I got the message on post title. Exploring the source code a little I got the game seek that executable using g_Global.GetDarkmodPath() / "tdmlauncher.linux", and according to the log 'Darkmod directory is /opt/doom3/darkmod/'; so it seems a little strange as the resulting path seems correct. I read about in the wiki, but my dmargs.txt contains only comments (or so I think, it contains only lines starting with #). What can I try? Thanks etb
  12. Guys, I'm having crashes in TDM sometimes. Today was the first time I managed to see a TDM error message (as opposed to just a black screen). It read as follows: IdMovable 'IdBarrel_ATDM:Movable_Junk_WBottle01_Broken_1027': Cannot Load Collision Model Models/Darkmod/Junk/WBottle01/Broken.LWO The crash happened in the third NHAT mission, while trying to open a drawer in a room in the upper floor. Just before doing that, I had snatched a golden bottle from a table on the opposite side of the room. Does anyone have any idea what causes these crashes, or where the error message is supposed to point me to? P.S.: I'm experiencing this kind of crashes in other FMs, so it's definitely not limited to NHAT 3.
  13. I ran into two initial problems when trying out TDM. I have a fix for one that I'll share in case anyone else encounters the same issue. TDM Update CrashesRunning tdm_update.exe results in a crash: 'tdm_update.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close.' This happens shortly after the copyright line of text is displayed. A zero length tdm_mirrors.txt file is created. If I manually obtain a correct tdm_mirrors.txt file and run with tdm_update.exe --keep-mirrors, the same crash happens just after 'Fetching checksums from server...'. To workaround this problem, I used the torrent to get the game. Following the wiki suggestion of cleaning out %temp% did not solve this problem. Second start of game = Black screen with sound, invisible menus, and generic grey mouse cursorThe new 'DoomConfig.cfg' created after the first run of the game had a setting that would cause this error. Through trial and error I determined the setting I needed to update: Change seta image_usePrecompressedTextures "0" to: seta image_usePrecompressedTextures "1"
  14. This can be cause by a number of things - the first is please try starting doom3 and putting in the CD key there. If it accepts the key, restart d3 and make sure it doesnt ask again. If this happens chances are that TDM will be fine. If that doesnt work, I remember someone had the same situation regarding gamex86.dll as happens with some people getting a black screen... but try making sure doom3 is happy first. Starting the map directly will skip a lot of 'nice' things, so it isnt really recommended.
  15. I have identified my brand of the black screen problem. Basically, after having gone through the briefings of an appearingly randomly selected number of fms, it gives me a dialogue box saying that the map files cant be found. Which would indicate a problem with the download. I later found out that the problem was caused by me having put spaces between fm names with multiple words when downloading them (i.e. sons of baltona.pk4). Writing sons_of_baltona.pk4 or sonsofbaltona.pk4 completely got rid of the problem.
  16. Thank you HiddenCoast. I will try this one. Springheel, I really don't know why you struggled with my question. I just wanted you to tell me what you thought was the best way to solve the Black Screen problem. It seems like a simple request. If you didn't have a suggestion then I wanted you to tell me what post from this thread seemed like the best solution again, seems like a simple request. It's true I said I have tried the suggestions in this thread but I also said that I would be more than happy to repeat a suggestion that looked promising to an expert such as yourself in the event that I didn't correctly follow the instructions the first time. I just wanted some Dark Team Mod advice.
  17. It doesn't appear that I'm going to get an answer from the Dark Mod team which is odd since this problem seems too large to ignore. How about this, does anyone know how to fix the black screen problem? I've tried the above suggestions but they didn't work for me. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
  18. I'm having the same problem on Windows 7 and a GTX280 on 195.62. It starts fine but defaults on 1920x1200, when I set my resolution and restart I just see a black screen.
  19. Hi and thank you for the replies and suggestions so far. @Fidcal I haven't played St Lucia on this machine. @Serpentine I had the 9.10 driver and I have now updated to the 9.11 driver, no change. @New Horizon I realise your second last reply was meant for Noisycricket but with the new driver I have again gone through and tried both the default (My default) config as well as the change you mention and after that didn't work I tried the other changes as well. @Noisycricket I haven't fiddled with DOOM 3 settings at all and the game had detected as Ultra, I changed that to High instead, changed seta image_useCompression back to 1 since it got set to 0 when I changed my DOOM 3 settings. I still have a black screen. image_useallformats makes no difference whether its set to 1 or 0. Uncertain if this is relevant, but my resolution settings don't seem to have any effect on the game. Low res even though I've got the config set to 1920x1200. Regards,
  20. After a few minutes, the training mission crashes and never in the same place: so far object room, lockpick room, archery range, central room, and even outside. The game however, doesn't actually crash, it just hangs for a second, goes to black screen and I have to go to the task manager to end the game (without the use of my mouse as my pointer refuses to move). I have the correct Doom version (followed the patch link on the Dark mod wiki) and I have steam loading up dark mod directly (-applaunch 9060...). I am running a gateway PC with Vista 64 bit OS, intel quad core, Nvidia GeForce GTX 285, and I think 4 Gb of Ram. I've already tried dropping the resolution down to widescreen (16:10) 1080 x 600 and standard shading with all of the other setting off or low. Any ideas what the problem might be? Conflict between Doom and the quad core or the drivers of video card? Edit: updated my video drivers and no luck, still crashes PS From what I have played so far, I love it. Esp. the jumping and mantling mechanic, a far side improvement over T2, but similar enough that I don't have to adjust hardly at all to jump effectively.
  21. Yes, I do. ATI Radeon X850. I tried the game again and it locked up and went to a black screen again after about the same period of time as before, but this time I didn't get control back. I had to shut off my computer. This time, I was not moving around when it crashed, I just walked forward and started reading the book, and it crashed while I was sitting there reading - it's as if it happens after a set period of time, not when I trigger something. I guess I should try some of those performance tweaking suggestions (or all of them). Any suggestions for ATI cards specifically?
  22. same problem for me... but i dont think that doom3 is replacing the dm-cfg... cause the darkmod folder is READ-ONLY on my sys. after downloading and extracting the "newest" tdm file from moddb ("2009_10_18_thedarkmod_v1.0_beta.zip") into my doom3 directory (D:\doom3), i start the "tdmlauncher.exe"... all i get is a black screen and a mouse button (the normal d3 mousebutton, not the tdm one). i can hear sounds and melodies (even the "click" sounds when moving over buttons - as it seems) but nothing more will happen... tried anything, but can just quit via "alt+f4" or console. in console there are some red errors, that the game couldn't load the background images and stuff. some screens are below.. system: vista home premium 64, 4 gig ram, 8800 gtx (using driver 86.18 cause newer ones got problems with some older games i still play) don't have any problems with other mods for d3 or the original game... PLEASE HELP!!! wanna play (waited for YEARS, and just got d3 because of your mod) thx. edit: i checked your FAQ and other forums, no help.
