refl3ks 189 Posted April 27, 2017 Report Share Posted April 27, 2017 I'm having a weird issue where I get a black screen whenever I click on objectives before jumping into my mission. I'm not sure what's causing this, and can't find anything on the wiki/forums on this glitch.Any help is appreciated. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Springheel 4645 Posted April 27, 2017 Report Share Posted April 27, 2017 That's usually the result of a .gui problem. Is this a mission you're creating yourself or one from the downloader?

refl3ks 189 Posted April 27, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2017 It's a mission I created myself. I ended up moving over my files from my laptop to my desktop, which resulted in that problem. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sotha 1909 Posted April 28, 2017 Report Share Posted April 28, 2017 Does your mission use custom gui files? Did you overlook copying some files? Quote Clipper-The mapper's best friend. Link to post Share on other sites
AluminumHaste 1067 Posted April 28, 2017 Report Share Posted April 28, 2017 Pull down the console with CTRL+ALT+~Type "condump error.txt" Go to your darkmod folder and copy the text of the error.txt file here. Quote I always assumed I'd taste like boot leather. Link to post Share on other sites
refl3ks 189 Posted May 21, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2017 I had to copy + paste my map into a new file. Something happened within that file that corrupted my original map files directory? I'm still not quite sure what it was, but it is finally working now... Thanks for all your reply's. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
refl3ks 189 Posted May 22, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2017 Ok, apparently the problem isn't solved. The mission worked fine on my laptop, when trying again on my desktop, I get the same issue. I have tried reinstalling the Dark Mod with no luck either. When deleting the mission from the fms folder and just loading the mission from console, everything works fine as it should. It is only when I make a .pk4 file and load it via new game that I get the black screen when hitting objectives... When I put that .pk4 mission in my laptop, it worked fine... very confusing...

Still this lol. The console will usually show the cause of such issues, black screens are sometimes caused by failures to load textures or gui files etc. Quote I always assumed I'd taste like boot leather.

You can use any program that opens ZIP files (Winzip, WinRAR, PowerArchiver etc). I figured it out, apparently I had unnecessary unused folders included in my .pk4 that seemed to have caused issues (ie: models and textures). after deleting the folders that weren't being used, it launched just fine.
