Want to help?

[Springheel]

I have a relatively easy task for anyone that might like to help me out tracking down the missing assets for standalone TDM. No special skills required.

 

The task would involve:

 

1. Starting a mission in TDM 1.08. Pull down the console and type "condump [filename]"

 

2. Locate the [filename].txt file (1.09 saves them direction into the main darkmod folder, but 1.08 might put them in the fms folder).

 

3. Compare the list of missing assets in the log to the list of missing assets in the list here: http://wiki.thedarkm...g_assets_by_map

 

4. Post any entries that are the same in this thread.

 

It's quite possible some of the missing assets listed on the wiki were already missing in 1.08, and if that's the case I don't want to waste any time on them right now. But it would slow me down to have to double check each one. If someone else (or several people) could check these, that would be helpful.

Oh good! That lamp glass one was driving me crazy trying to locate, and now I don't have to. Thanks!

map_of_inv_icon is a mission-specific error that was already around in the original; I could not get that image to display.

I have noticed steel_blowtorch_heatshield_s crops up in every map where I have used that object; it is a mod issue.

[Obsttorte]

map_of_inv_icon is a mission-specific error that was already around in the original;

As I guess you gave your map more specific name, this is may something left due to some copying of the base map_of_ entity.

 

EDIT: I've found the error. The inv_icon spawnarg on your map entity is pointing into the same directory as where your map is, but the icon file is not located there.

[Melan]

Yeah, I noticed that. Alas, I hate revising my missions. It annoys me, it makes me frustrated, it kills the fun of mapping. So I guess it stays there.

Same here.. Oooh, I hope there is some community enthusiast who would like to inspect and fix all my six (or seven by then?) missions for me... But I suppose we all know the probability of that happening, right?

[Springheel]

Fiasco is already complete. There are no missing assets to be replaced (which doesn't mean there aren't things to fix).

I could probably help out with simple fixes like that, either before or after 1.09.

[Melan]

Much appreciated (if it becomes necessary). Does Return to the City work? (although by this point, it's more of a Bikerdude mission...)

[Springheel]

Not all missions need fixes. Both fiasco and knighting have no missing assets, frex. On my phone so can't check Return.

[Springheel]

Return to the City did this:

Briefing starts, but as soon as I click the X, the screen goes black. Trying to pull the console down shows it for just a second; then it closes and disappears. Have to forcequit TDM to escape. No log available.

 

Never seen that before. Doesn't mean for sure it's a 1.09 issue; could be my local build or a corrupt map or something.

@Sotha/Melan: You just have to copy the map_of_inv_icon.tga or how it was called into the folder where your map picture is located. It's a simple icon. The easiest way to create such an image is by downscaling the actual map image to something icon typical, like 32x32 or 64x64 or whatever is used. I think there is an icon in the mapping startpack.
