Settings not saving and missions not changing?

I just downloaded the mod via torrent, the source was from Pirate Bay. When I try to change any of the settings and restart the game for the settings to change it simply reverts back to the old saved settings. I decided to not worry about it and play the mod, so I chose a mission and the mod restarted back to the default mission.

 

It seems as if nothing is being saved??? The mod was downloaded into the "Download" folder which is where I am running it from.

 

What should I do?

It sounds like darkmod can't save any files to your hard drive. That would explain the symptoms, and it's what Springheel was asking about. If it's still in a .zip file, unzip it to a new folder somewhere. More likely, the folder you have it in might be write-protected (meaning, nothing is allowed to save files in it). To check whether that's the problem, right-click on the folder you have darkmod in, and choose "properties" from the bottom of the list. Then find the "Read-only" checkbox. You want that to be completely unchecked, so remove any tick or square from the box and click OK. Then see if that fixes TDM.

Alternatively, try moving the dark mod folder to somewhere else, like c:\games if you've got one.

      I've finally managed to log in to The Dark Mod Wiki. I'm back in the saddle and before the holidays start in full, I'll be adding a few new FM articles and doing other updates. Written in Stone is already done.

      You cannot receive PMs. Could you please be so kind and check your mailbox if it is full (or maybe you switched off the function)?

      I like the new frob highlight but it would nice if it was less "flickery" while moving over objects (especially barred metal doors).
