Dark Mod has removed all my played fms info

[llanita]

Hi, Yesterday I played a couple of very short fms, and when I finished the last one and went to play another one, I noticed that all the fms that I'd played that had the green tick and said last time played had all been removed. My Dark Mod now looks I've just downloaded fms and not played any.

All info on played fms is gone

Do you have a [TDM installation folder]/fms/missions.tdminfo file? If so, what does it say when you open it in a text editor?

Edit: I've also noticed that when I go to play one of the already played fms, they still show all the saves from the previous play.

The info for all but four recent missions is definitely gone, then. I'm afraid I can't explain the bug; it would take someone with knowledge of how that file is generated and what happens if there are errors in the process.

 

If you can remember which missions you completed on which difficulty levels, you should be able to restore the green ticks by copying and pasting the "mission_completed_N" "1" lines around in that file.

[llanita]

oh ok. So I just copy that phrase right in thatmissions.tdm.info file?

[VanishedOne]

The N represents difficulty: 0 - normal, 1 - hard, 2 - expert. So if you remembered completing WS3 on Expert, you'd find

tdm_missioninfo ws3_cleighmoor
{
}

in the file and replace it with

tdm_missioninfo ws3_cleighmoor
{
"mission_completed_2" "1"
}

If you're lucky, the glitch was just a one-off random thing, but if it happens again it'll be worth filing a report at http://bugs.thedarkmod.com/

Thanks so much. I did not expect a solution to my problem. Who knew.
