Update problem

I'm on Ubuntu 13.04. I've been using TDM for some time now, so I obviously have the full 1.08 installation already. Now I want to update to 2.00. I run the updater and I end up with a file in my darkmod directory called "_tdm_update_1.08_to_2.00.zip". All well and good. However, when I try to extract the zip file, I get the message "An error occurred while loading the archive". I've run the update routine several times now, and always end up with the same result. Out of desperation, I tried renaming the file to "tdm_update_1.08_to_2.00.zip" (by deleting the underscore at the start of the name) - but to no avail. I get the same error message.

 

I'm sure it's me - I'm doing something wrong, but I cannot work out what it is.

 

Help, please. Any ideas?

It's possible that some of the mirrors contain a bogus file. Can you delete this file and run the updater again? Please make note of the mirror it's getting the file from, so that I can have a look at it if it's still causing trouble.

I've done what you asked twice over, unfortunately with the same results. The second mirror picked was thegreatesttunnelhostontheinter.net.

 

Doesn't look good for my end!

 

And a third - this time dl1.worldofplayers.de:8080. Still no luck.

I just checked the thegreatesttunnelhostontheinter.net mirror and the file there is correct, it should be around 208 MB. You can try to download that file using a browser and place it next to the tdm_update application, it should pick it up right away.

      Has anyone had any luck with textures from Polyhaven? Their OpenEXR normal maps seem too washed out and give incorrect shading in the engine.

      I tried to upscale the TDM logo video. First try:

      briefing_video.mp4 You can test it ingame by making a copy of the core tdm_gui.mtr and place it in your-tdm-root/materials/ , then edit line 249 of that file into the location where you placed the new briefing.mp4 file.
      What I did was I extracted all the image files, then used Upscayl to upscale the images using General photo (Real-Esrgan) upscale setting and then turn it back into a video.
      I might have to crop it a bit, the logo looks smaller on screen (or maybe it's actually better this way?). My video editor turned it into a 16:9 video, which I think overal looks better than 1:1 video of original.

      Finally got round to publishing a tutorial on baking normal maps in Blender, since most of the ones we have are inaccessible or years out of date.

      The FAQ wiki is almost a proper FAQ now. Probably need to spin-off a bunch of the "remedies" for playing older TDM versions into their own article.
