Bug in "New mission" menu

Recommended Posts

Hello, I spotted a minor problem - I've played several missions but in the "New missions'' menu it doesn't seem to refresh the info that I did.

 

I mean that I completed missions but it still says " Last played: -

 

Completed: Not yet''

 

 

 

 

Is there any way to fix this?

I played them after updating to the latest version, today.

 

I would gladly post that file, but it says that I don't have the permission to attach such files.

 

I opened the file with the notepad and here's what's inside:

 

tdm_missioninfo 2490

{

}

 

tdm_missioninfo 2490_chalice

{

"last_play_date" "2011-04-11"

}

 

tdm_missioninfo 2492

{

}

 

tdm_missioninfo 2492_outpost

{

}

 

tdm_missioninfo saintlucia

{

}

 

tdm_missioninfo training_mission

{

}

oh, I think I got it!

 

I turned off the "read only" on the fm folder , and now after I played a mission information about the date appeared .

 

If the bug happens again I'll keep you informed.

so I better reinstall them with the games downloader or I could just rename them and delete the numbers in their titles?

Yes, that certainly explains things a bit. Did you set the folder to read only on purpose or how did that happen?

You can try to remove the number from the following items:

 

darkmod/fms/NNN_missionname

darkmod/fms/NNN_missionname/NNN_missionname.pk4

NNN_missionname/

 

Be sure to remove it from all three (not sure if there are more). You can also edit the mission info file and remove the number there too to save your stats, but there's not much worth saving there, I assume.

No, I didn't set "read only" on purpose, It was set read only from the beginning (don't know why, my OS is Win 7 Ultimate if that will help).

 

 

Well everything works fine now, thanks for the help. :)

      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 ?
