Can't see downloaded mission


Riper

Recommended Posts

From within game down loader would not work kept saying can not connect to server?? So i downloaded from websites and it works fine. I think this started when I plugged in a thumb drive into my PC and it changed the drive letter of my passport solid state hard drive where I keep the Darkmod. If this is the case how do I correct it?

Yesterday there are problems with one of the download server.

(more info see: http://forums.thedarkmod.com/topic/19621-can-not-download-new-missions/)

Please check if you can download the mission again.

 

If that dont work, please check inside the fm-folder inside your tdm folder.

If there is a folder named to that mission then check the content in the fm folder the file "missions.tdminfo".

Then remove the folder inside the fm folder and download the mission again from the mission manager.

And to prevent some write errors, give everyone write acces to the tdm folder

(rightclick on tdm folder > properties > security > edit > users > full access)

it didn't help

 

in game download only puts the file into fm-folder but doesn't create a folder for the mission

 

the only thing I noticed is that the mission in the in-game downloader is 23mb but the actual file is only 13mb, but I'm not sure if that's because it's packed

I try it myself and got the same problem.

 

Mission CoS1: Pearls and Swine needs to repacked on the download mirror.

Fm manager only downloaded only the pk4 file and didnt create a folder for it.

And the content of the pk4 is not structured following the darkmod rules.

 

But its easy to fix that. Unpack the pk4, move the content outside cos1_pearlsnswine folder and pack the files again.

Tried it a day ago and reproduced the problem.

Please, could someone familiar with mission manager do this?

I see that I have permissions to do it myself, but since I have never done it, I would need considerable time to do it without breaking more stuff :laugh:

      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 ?

      Looks like the "Reverse April Fools" releases were too well hidden. Darkfate still hasn't acknowledge all the new releases. Did you play any of the new April Fools missions?
