How to write my comments on fms

Recommended Posts

Is it possible to write my comments on the fms I play like we could do on Darkloader? I use to note beside each FM my opinions on each.

I've looked in the wiki but haven't seen it

 

TDM does not support comments in the same way darkloader does.

 

If you really wanted to add custom notes for missions the only way I could think of is by editing the "readme.txt" file found in the FM folder, that way when you're in TDM you can click the mission on the right and then click notes on the bottom left and see whatever you wrote in the readme file however that isn't exactly ideal and would require you to exit TDM and reopen each time to leave your notes but it would still technically be possible.

 

However now that you bring it up comments and the ability to mark a mission complete would be a nice little addition to the dark mod mission launcher menu.

the game gives a finished mission a green tick in the mission list.

 

the tutorial doesn't because you can't finish it

Yes it does but there is no option in TDM to mark a mission as complete (even if you didn't complete it). It may sound redundant but in dark loader it was quite handy to mark a mission as complete manually because I may have downloaded it previously (or on a different PC) and after I start playing for a few minutes think oh yeah I've already finished this.

 

That way on my current computer I have an updated list of what I've done.

 

Comments are great for that too

Yes, that sounds like a good suggestion. If there isn't already I will file a bugtracker for it...

Some people were working on plans to improve the downloader, but it looks as though they're still at the stage of working out how to get it scaling nicely:

The same is probably the case for the GUI that lists currently downloaded missions.

Thats wonderful, because I really liked being able to add my Zombie or no Zombie beside each fm lol :rolleyes:

Comprehensiveness not guaranteed. (I actually added the 'undead' entry for ItN earlier today, after seeing you'd asked about it.) I don't know how easy/hard it is to get a wiki account authorised; mine was requested on my behalf, and apparently it was delayed by technical problems.

      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.
