A few days ago I downloaded the latest TDM.

Today I downloaded 3 missions and I went straight to the video settings and set the screen to 1920x1080 -(I should have chosen 1920x1200 but my monitor does both)

 

The screen stopped and I got a "no video input" message which is my ACER monitor's default message for not connected.

 

CTR ALT DEL would not get me a screen back so I had to turn off power and let it reboot.

Everything is good.

But, if I run TDM the same thing happens after I click TDM I immediately get the "no video input" message again and the screen loses all touch with the system.

I have to switch off power and turn on again -it reboots fine.

 

I looked in all the files (in TDM folder) that had today's date on them but could not find a reference to resolution.

 

I'm working with:

Windows 7.1 64bit

Acer X263W 1920x1200 (recommended res. to use).

Gforce GT 430

6GB ram

Intel core2 quad 2.50ghz cpu

 

I want to be able to get back to changing the res for TDM but cannot as I lose the video.... any suggestions?

Try deleting your Darkmod.cfg and letting the game rebuild it. You should be able to choose the correct resolution then.

Thanks, that did allow me access but I'll be damned if I can 'see' the blurry resolutions but I know what i have do now so thank you for the quick and correct answer.

I'll fix it later.

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      I wanna play Doom 3, but fhDoom has much better features than dhewm3, yet fhDoom is old, outdated and probably not supported.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