Tdm_update is crashing as soon as the main download is getting ready to start.

I imagine this has happened before, but I searched for an answer but didn't find it.

If there is an answer, it should go in the TDM_Update wiki page, also maybe the Troubleshooting part of the Installing page.

I'm updating from 2.01 to 2.03, and it's crashing on the 2.01 to 2.02 part, the log is saying at the time it wants to delete stlucia.pk4.

 

Ideas on what I can do?

 

Here's a screenshot of the crash for what it's worth.

What do you see when you turn out the light? I can't tell you but I know that it's mine.

Ok, after reading around some more, I see that my TDM folder is checked for Read Only.

I don't think it was before, and I don't know how it happened automatically, but anyway unchecking that makes it work now.

What an annoyance. =L

 

Edit: I added a note in the Updater wiki page under Troubleshooting, since it's happened a number of times to different people.

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      I wanna play Doom 3, but fhDoom has much better features than dhewm3, yet fhDoom is old, outdated and probably not supported.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