Maybe it was a fault: I started the DarkMod from the Doom3-Mod-Menu, cause I played Doom3 before and just wanted to look at the darkmod. All went fine, but when I installed the Training Mission I only see the console in big and a false "Doom3.exe"-command, it seems it can´t handle the blank in my gamepath. (the path is: 1_Games\Doom 3\DarkMod\) I thought the pathname is up to me? Same when I start with the darkmodlauncher. When I start the Training Mission from Doom3-Mod-Menu it just loads the original game. (the fourth difficult is now available)

I deleted the Training Mission-folder in the Doom3 Mainfolder and tried again the launcher, the same, but without the warning message, that is included in the screenshot. I see the DarkMod-Logo and then the console. I can only access the DarkMod successfully from the Doom3-Mod-Menu. But after I installed the Mission, it only appears in Doom3, not in the Darkmod.

 

Again: the warning on the screenshot came, when I started the DarkMod-Training Mission out of Doom3. When I try the DarkModLauncher, there is only the message about the "3\Doom3.exe"-thing.

 

I included another Screenshot from the TDM-Update-Download, because it seems not right, maybe because of this "ambient"-issue I posted in another thread.

I fear the solution is to re-install everything in a certain path!?

I'm not exactly sure what is going on here, and I'm not sure if I have a clear answer for you on this one. I don't think you'll need to reinstall, but someone with a bit more know how than I have will need to offer some advice on this one.

 

For future reference though, TDM will only work properly if started by the launcher.

You don't need to re-install. I have several installs just by copying the doom folder and switch between them at will. Just copy the entire doom folder and rename it and adjust or make new shortcuts etc. If anything goes wrong you have your original. If it all goes right then delete the original.

The issue with the updater you can ignore (but the >100% issue should be fixed by us anyway). The warning you can also ignore, the training mission brings its own particle (we really need to update the training mission anyway).

 

As for the rest, I cannot say.

      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 ?
