lost darkmod folder

Recommended Posts

Hi ! This is about a minor problem, I checked before the FAQ but couldn't find exactly what I was looking for . My mistake ! I ran tdm_update.exe without creating before a folder "darkmod" and now I can't find the files downloaded :/ ... Is there a place where I should look in priority in order to rediscover those files ( I haven't got lot of space on the disk so I can't afford to simply redo the operation in the correct order . I would be forced to delete the previously downloaded files ) . I'm under Win XP . Thank you for taking the time !

That's right, they should be in the same folder where you put tdm_update.exe

 

If you ran tdm_update.exe from the website without saving it anywhere, the files might have ended up in your temporary browser files folder (and possibly already be gone). You could try searching your hard drive for ".pk4", which is the extension used by most of TDM's files.

Exact ! Thank you both for the tips ! The files where half-deleted in the temporary browser files folder . So I restarted the installation from the beginning and everything worked just fine until ( and perhaps I should post this problem in an other section ) I launch "the tears of st Lucia" ... "malloc failure" ! I tried to load the FM "William Steele 1 : In the North" but I ended up with the same malloc error .
The error report is quite heavy and I don't know which part post . This is a " malloc failure for 134217736 " in both cases . I don't know if this helps .

      Finally got my PC back from the shop after my SSD got corrupted a week ago and damaged my motherboard. Scary stuff, but thank goodness it happened right after two months of FM development instead of wiping all my work before I could release it. New SSD, repaired Motherboard and BIOS, and we're ready to start working on my second FM with some added version control in the cloud just to be safe!

      I've updated the articles for your FMs and your author category at the wiki. Your newer nickname (DeTeEff) now comes first, and the one in parentheses is your older nickname (Fieldmedic). Just to avoid confusing people who played your FMs years ago and remember your older nickname. I've added a wiki article for your latest FM, Who Watches the Watcher?, as part of my current updating efforts. Unless I overlooked something, you have five different FMs so far.

      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)?
