Hi there,

 

I used to play TDM on my Macbook running Snow Leopard a couple of years ago. Absolutely loved it. This other day i wanted to try it again, since a lot has happened both with the mod itself but also the great fan-submitted missions available.

 

Alas, I ran into problems. I have tried every step provided to make 1.08 work (As described here) but cannot seem to get TDM running. Actually, i get the first TDM splash screen but shortly afterwards it crashes.

 

So, my question is if there is anyone else on the forum who have the same issues? Is it even possible to run TDM 1.08 on OSX Mountain Lion? If not, are there any active mirrors for downloading older versions (i.e. 1.07)? I tried the ones linked but they all seem to be down.

 

Would greatly appreciate any help,

 

Best regards,

 

Daniel

I got version 1.08 also running on snow leopard, with no problems.

Get my instructions described here.

 

 

In short:

download and unpack darkmod 1.08 full installation & malex patch to the right folders, change permission in malexs tdm.app and run the app.

 

You can place it also in the applications folder and run it from there, but then texture problems will occure.

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      I wanna play Doom 3, but fhDoom has much better features than dhewm3, yet fhDoom is old, outdated and probably not supported.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