The system is 32 bit Fedora Linux 19 with Xfce, on a laptop that isn't exactly gaming, with intel graphics but the errors aren't related to poor gl implementation from intel. I've downloaded the game from this torrent: https://thepiratebay...torrent/9024163 that I've found on one of threads here. All seems well after download but when I start the game I must go to tty2 and manually ps and kill the process because it's just black screen and music and I can't/didn't find the way to quit it. It's as if all fonts and gui assets are missing. I get hundreds of warnings such as WARNING:Couldn't load image: guis/assets/mainmenu/downloadable_mission_details WARNING:Couldn't load image: guis/assets/mainmenu/oldparchment_backdrop6 related to either fonts or guis. Updater in the torrent says it's up to date. Updater from site when ran in ~/darkmod/ first updates itself then too says game is up to date: [frex@localhost darkmod]$ ./tdm_update.linux TDM Updater v0.61 (c) 2009-2013 by tels & greebo.

Your TDM installation is up to date Listing all of pk4 files(here with 7zips command line) and then grepping the output for missing resource that was listed when I ran ./thedarkmod.x86 like: [frex@localhost darkmod]$ for i in *.pk4; do 7za l $i; done | grep guis/assets/mission_success/background_success 2011-10-30 19:26:04 ..... 699192 403760 dds/guis/assets/mission_success/background_success.dds seems to say for every file I tried that it exists but starts with additional dds/ in front compared to path game tries to load it from. I attach(because it's too long to paste comfortably) the file to which I redirected stdout when launching the game, in case it's actually my laptop or intel card that is causing this problem. darkmodout.txt

Hey, Every time I've try to use the Full Editor when PM'ing someone, and every single time I get an error. Whoever is in charge of the forum, is it possible that this could be fixed? Thanks Neon

hi! 1) a couple of days ago i've completed the mission flakebridge monastery but in the list it's not green ticked, is this a bug? 2) is there any way to make text in menu still? remove the fading effect i mean... setting a config file properly maybe... 3) what's the font used in the menu? and "the alchemist" title one? bye

I'm wondering if anyone ever checks new posts in the Fan Missions Forums? I've posted 4 questions asking for help for 4 different missions that I can't finish because I"m stuck, and I don't get any help. I posted a question this morning so I don't expect an answer right away for that one. Its frustrating because I would like to finish them. I've read through the posts for each mission and I'm not getting anything from them. If there's someone who could help me I'd really appreciate it. Thanks I guess I'm spoiled from the TTLG forums.

Hi all, me again Now that I've learned how to take screenies on DM (thanks to Aluminumhaste) I wanted to post one that I took but I got an error saying that the image ext that I used was not allowed in these forums, It was .jpg so I changed it to .png and I got the same error again. They're on Photobucket.

I've more than once dabbled with trying to repair Doom 3 fonts. Often in conversion from true type, some characters, mostly those with descenders like p, y, f are wrongly offset sideways leaving an ug ly gap. I gave it one more try today, got nowhere again, but then, one more google and found a Q3 tool that works on Doom3 fonts too. Bit fiddly but it does work. I'll leave it for now and press on with the St.Lucia readables with the fonts as they are then at some future date, hopefully before the next release if needed, fix any fonts that need it. This also opens up some other fonts that got rejected because of severe offsets. I'll also try to simplify the method to a wiki article for converting ttfs.
