Unable to install mission under Wine

I'm running the Steam version of Doom3 under Wine (see elsewhere for my efforts with the native Doom3), and I'm encountering an unfortunate interaction with the restart required to "install" a mission and Wine.

  1. I start darkmod in the approved way, the menu screen comes up and tells me I have no missions installed.
  2. I select to install the training mission
  3. The game tells me "mission installed" and then restarts
  4. Darkmod exits
  5. Steam reports Error: This game is currently unavailable (Application running).
  6. When I restart darkmod, it tells me again I have no missions installed.

What's going on here? Point (5) is presumably a subtle Wine error, but why isn't darkmod able to go ahead and load the mission anyway when I restart at point (6)? Is there any workaround?

 

For what it's worth, Doom3 plays *perfectly* (apart from being a rather crap game, IMHO) under Wine.

 

Edit: http://forums.thedar...ing-with-steam/ seems to be a similar problem, *without* wine! Only, I'm *not* getting the mission installed when I restart :(

 

Edit: Aha: the trick is to ignore the advice in the wiki which says to run

steam -applaunch 9050 +set fs_game_base darkmod

and instead to run

tdmlauncher

directly!

      Finally got my PC back from the shop after my SSD got corrupted a week ago and damaged my motherboard. Scary stuff, but thank goodness it happened right after two months of FM development instead of wiping all my work before I could release it. New SSD, repaired Motherboard and BIOS, and we're ready to start working on my second FM with some added version control in the cloud just to be safe!

      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)?
