Darkmod not loading on Mac

[sonicmotion]

Sorry to be a pain, but I've downloaded darkmod as per the instructions, yet when I try to launch it doom 3 launches not the darkmod. I'm sure I'm doing something wrong. Here is the terminal code after it launches. Please help!

I presume this is after selecting a mission then clicking install?

 

It looks like the mod is having trouble writing to the currentfm.txt file. Perhaps that space in "Doom 3.app" is causing the same sort of issue with the mission installer?

 

You could try manually adding the mission name to that file but it'd have to be in the naming convention expected by the launcher code. If someone can install a mission and post their currentfm file it would help. (I'm posting via my mobile phone.)

Please try to create this file: /Users/christopheresmith/Doom3/darkmod/currentfm.txt

 

and put

training_mission

in it.

 

This is how to do it via terminal (it's for Linux but should work with OS X, too):

echo "training_mission" > /Users/christopheresmith/Doom3/darkmod/currentfm.txt

No luck there...

The FAQ says:

 

"It is recommended that the “Doom 3″ program folder is installed into the Application Support folder (i.e. ~/Library/Application Support/Doom 3/). If Doom 3 is installed into a different location then additional steps will need to be followed."

 

But you installed to "/Users/christopheresmith/Doom3/". Maybe that causes the problem. Try to install Doom 3 in /Users/christopheresmith/Library/Application Support/Doom 3/
