Problem with the latest install (mac)

[Midnight]

Sorry for not checking this out earlier, my hdd died so I've not been playing TDM but I can test the install/update on my low spec Mac. Anyway, it seems there's a problem in the "tdm_update_updater.sh" script, which is not correctly escaping spaces in any of the paths it references. I manually escaped these with \ and the updater worked like a charm (and launches a mission without problem). I've also tried a fresh install which had the same problem, but is now downloading the full mod after I copied in the 'fixed' updater script. I'll report back if there are any problems launching once this is completed.

I think using "" around the path would solve this issue. Is the script on SVN?

I'll try using quotes once the download is complete to see if this also works (I'd guess that it would). I assume this script is generated by the mod (maybe tdm_update.macosx?) since it contains computer / user specific path names.

To confirm, double quotes do work. Also, with a modified version of the tdm_update_updater.sh script a fresh install also works and launches fine.

 

Until this is fixed, if anyone else is having problems updating or installing on OSX, you can copy the following text (substitutiing 'username' with your user folder name) into a file called tdm_update_updater.sh in the darkmod folder (or create this file if it doesn't already exist). The file needs execute permission to run (i.e. use the terminal command 'sudo chmod 755 tdm_update_updater.sh'), then you can run it in the terminal using the command './tdm_update_updater.sh'.

 

#!/bin/bash
echo "Upgrading TDM Updater executable..."
cd "/Users/username/Library/Application Support/Doom 3/darkmod"
sleep 2s
mv -f "/Users/username/Library/Application Support/Doom 3/darkmod/_tdm_update.macosx" "/Users/username/Library/Application Support/Doom 3/darkmod/tdm_update.macosx"
chmod +x "/Users/username/Library/Application Support/Doom 3/darkmod/tdm_update.macosx"
echo "TDM Updater executable has been updated."
echo "Re-launching TDM Updater executable."
"/Users/username/Library/Application Support/Doom 3/darkmod/tdm_update.macosx"
