Trouble installing FMs

Every time I try to install a new FM, I get this error:

 


--------- Initializing Game ----------
The Dark Mod 1.00, code revision 3718

I can load my existing installed FM just fine. What's going on?

It may be that your last update did not complete. Run tdm_update.exe again and again until you see the message: "All done, your TDM installation is up-to-date. Enjoy!" Let us know if that doesn't solve the problem

 

Nope, still not working.

Seems to indicate you're having trouble updating.

Where is your darkmod folder located?

Uninstall your current FM then close TDM and run the updater.

Try search your doom3 folder for all gamex86.dll's and delete them all then run the updater again

 

(I have a feeling that the updater might need to delete all the dll's between major updates)

Figured it out. It was in the program files folder, so I needed to give tdmlauncher.exe admin privileges to install the FM.

      i am so euphoric to see new FMs keep coming out and I am keen to try it out in my leisure time, then suddenly my PC is spouting a couple of S.M.A.R.T errors...
      tbf i cannot afford myself to miss my network emulator image file&progress, important ebooks, hyper-v checkpoint & hyper-v export and the precious thief & TDM gamesaves. Don't fall yourself into & lay your hands on crappy SSD

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      I wanna play Doom 3, but fhDoom has much better features than dhewm3, yet fhDoom is old, outdated and probably not supported.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