Darkmod not loading on Mac

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 visit TDM's IndieDB site and help promote the mod:

(Yeah, shameless promotion... but traffic is traffic folks...)

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/

      I've updated the articles for your FMs and your author category at the wiki. Your newer nickname (DeTeEff) now comes first, and the one in parentheses is your older nickname (Fieldmedic). Just to avoid confusing people who played your FMs years ago and remember your older nickname. I've added a wiki article for your latest FM, Who Watches the Watcher?, as part of my current updating efforts. Unless I overlooked something, you have five different FMs so far.

      I've finally managed to log in to The Dark Mod Wiki. I'm back in the saddle and before the holidays start in full, I'll be adding a few new FM articles and doing other updates. Written in Stone is already done.

      You cannot receive PMs. Could you please be so kind and check your mailbox if it is full (or maybe you switched off the function)?

      I like the new frob highlight but it would nice if it was less "flickery" while moving over objects (especially barred metal doors).
