Hi Guys,

 

Wondering if someone can give me a hand with this. I am trying to run TDM on my Mac and have run into an error when trying to launch.

 

Whenever I run the launcher I get the following error

 

 

Last login: Wed Oct 24 11:47:43 on ttys000
t;lper.command ; exi 
/Users/Andy/Library/Application Support/Doom 3/darkmod/tdmlauncher_helper.command: line 3: /Users/Andy/Library/Application Support/Doom 3/darkmod/tdmlauncher.macosx: No such file or directory
/Users/Andy/Library/Application Support/Doom 3/darkmod/tdmlauncher_helper.command: line 3: exec: /Users/Andy/Library/Application Support/Doom 3/darkmod/tdmlauncher.macosx: cannot execute: No such file or directory
logout

[Process completed]

 

 

Not sure what I have done wrong as like I said I followed the instruction exactly.

 

I have also posted screen shots of the error, my Doom III folder in Application Support and the contents of the Doom III game folder in the Doom III folder found in applications support (if that makes sense) - not sure if the 3rd picture will actually help, but figured why not provide it just in case.

 

Any help would be great, as I have heard great things about the mod but never actually gotten around to giving it a go.

Are you trying to run 1.08? The 1.08 update is not currently supported on Macs, but we are hoping to add a patch soon that will include Mac support. Until that time, Mac users should not update their version of TDM.

I dont think so - I downloaded the version that was provided in the Mac instructions - the link is here http://www.bloodgate.com/mirrors/tdm/pub/pk4/mac/darkmod.zip

 

it was the one provided here under "Install TDM on Mac" - http://www.thedarkmod.com/download-the-mod/

If you followed the instructions then I assume the updater downloaded the mod, but it would have downloaded the latest version which won't work (the error is complaining about a missing macosx file because there isn't one in this release).

 

If you're keen to try this before 1.08 is supported, I'll see if I can find a 1.06 or 1.07 version which works on Mac and you can download this instead of using the updater. Hopefully it can compress nicely so I can send you a Dropbox link or something, but it's probably going to be roughly a 2GB file.

That would be great if you could pass along an old version. still cant get the new version to launch though - tried copying the doom launch icon so its in the same folder as the TDM folder and same error. Even tried re-installing the doom software directly into that folder and still no luck getting the launch.

 

here is what my folder looks like now - just for verification purposes

Like Springheel said above, 1.08 doesn't support Mac OSX yet, so there is no way to get it to launch as the OSX files to launch the game do not exist. :) You would need to use 1.07 until we have support for 1.08.

That makes sense, I didnt read that far into it before. But yeah if someone could drop box or send me a link to a download of a previous version that would be great!

      i am so euphoric to see new FMs keep coming out and I am keen to try it out in my leisure time, then suddenly my PC is spouting a couple of S.M.A.R.T errors...
      tbf i cannot afford myself to miss my network emulator image file&progress, important ebooks, hyper-v checkpoint & hyper-v export and the precious thief & TDM gamesaves. Don't fall yourself into & lay your hands on crappy SSD

      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 ?
