Not feasable. It is likely that running a some FM with an older version of TDM will simply crash.

 

What we need is a mac person to maintain current TDM version mac compatibility.

If 1.06 was the latest then that's the one I'm looking for.

Are you sure, have you tried. Surly it depends entirely on the way he mission was done as to wither it will crash in 1.06 or be simply mission textures or other resources.

 

But back to 1.08 and OSX, we do actually need testers -

And this chap is building a graphical installer for OSX -

Any mission built or updated after the version you're running will be unstable, and will likely crash. But there are plenty of pre-1.06 missions to play (and I believe 1.07 was still Mac compatible; we lost that when we changed the folder structure for going standalone).

I'd still be playing on the latest working version if I had backed it up before upgrading my OS. Figured I'd just download TDM again after the upgrade, but that was a bummer…

 

Thanks for the 1.06 link! I fully understand some missions will fuck up, but I don't mind. It's not like all missions prior to 1.08 were updated to run only on this version, right? Too bad I'm no dev, that way I could've solved this the right way.

 

Oh and if someone do find the 1.07 version, I'd be much obliged!

Having you tried the OSX version of 1.08 yet?

At least two people (the only two who have indicated an interest in an OSX version) have been able to run it with minimal issues.

I'd be happy to try, but I get a 403 error on that one.

 

Btw, the mirror of the Doom 3 1.3.1 RevA patch you link to renders as text in the browser instead of being downloaded. The Aspyr hosted one is broken. Just thought I'd report that too while I'm at it. :)

The version was 1.08 and malex's build. Basically I did what the pathes.txt file said. I the darkmod directory i put TDM.app, tdm_game03.pk4, gdb.sh and tdm_update.macosx. Then launched the binary TDM.app.

 

Doing all this on a MacBook Pro 8,1 with Intel HD 3000 graphic chipset, 8 GB of RAM and on OS X 10.8.2. FPS got up to around ≈25.

 

I also made TDM portable, that is I made it possible for the files to be located anywhere by having a shell script create symlinks on every launch. But that's another story. ^_^

Here's what I believe should work. As I said I wrote a shell script (and put all files withing an .app-structure) for portability, but this should be working just as well, right. Get someone to verify it regardless. Have no wiki privileges so I'll just post it here. In markdown for some reason xD

 

6. Download the experimental ![OS X launcher](http://path/to/OSX10_6_i386.7z).

 

7. Copy the following files into your ~/Library/Application Support/Doom 3/darkmod folder:

* TDM.app (the one in the release folder)

* tdm_game03.pk4

* gdb.sh

* tdm_update.macosx

 

8. Start The Dark Mod by double-clicking the TDM.app application in your ~/Library/Application Support/Doom 3/darkmod folder.

      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?
