TDM 1.07 Missions not storing (Fedora Linux 16)

I just rebuilt my PC to run Fedora Linux 16 and I have successfully installed Doom 3 and TDM 1.07. I start up TDM and try to download all the missions. I manage to get the download to run, it progresses to 100% then starts again. This happens 3 or 4 times then announces that the download failed.

 

Anyone have any idea what's going on? Is it a permissions thing?

Yes, now that I re-read your issue... it looks like you need to run the mod at a higher level or grant more network and filesystem rights to the user running Doom 3.

 

Could also be that the mission you are trying to get has something funny in the MD5 hash. Have you tried a number of missions?

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

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

Steve, where is your D3 installed under? I have "home/username/.doom3/darkmod" where TDM is, and "home/username/games/doom3" where D3 lives. Is you D3 installed under "/usr/games"? In that case your user might not have write permissions there.

Hi! :)

 

My darkmod is the next folder down so:

 

/home/steve/.doom3/darkmod

 

doom3 is:

 

/home/steve/.doom3

 

also, anyone know how to get the Resurrection of Evil mod pack running? When I first started doom3 up, I got asked for both keys (which I didn't have to hand). Now I have the key, it doesn't ask me or come up in the mods menu.

 

I'll try and change the permissions

      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      I wanna play Doom 3, but fhDoom has much better features than dhewm3, yet fhDoom is old, outdated and probably not supported.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 ?

      Looks like the "Reverse April Fools" releases were too well hidden. Darkfate still hasn't acknowledge all the new releases. Did you play any of the new April Fools missions?
