An error has occurred in this program.   I tried to download the stable version 2.07, but I couldn't (screenshot below).   Аnd I'm now  sure that if players download the latest version 2.09b, it may be missing some files due to a bug. Can the developers check this program and fix it?

It would be very convenient, if all versions were uploaded to some cloud  and players could download any version without this  program.

I can reproduce this issue when updating from 2.09b to 2.07.
It look very worrisome to me. I'll investigate.

There are a lot of simpler distribution approaches as long as players don't want differential updates.

and another suggestion... specify a checksum (md5) for each version of the game. So players can see if they've downloaded all the game files...

The installer does that internally.
Also, checksum works perfectly for single file, but for many files it would be a headache.

I didn't update the game, I downloaded the full version. In the program, I choosed "Get custom version"

mirror: аuto

Yes, I guess it can be reproduce in several ways.

I have fixed the bug and pushed update to the server.
Could you please try again and report if the problem still happens?

I booted up local mirror and did something like 15 random hops between TDM versions, no fails.

As an alternative solution, you can download the full 2.07 package from moddb.

Thank you. However, the Source Revision there is old. Latest Source Revision 8079

You can view the Source Revision in the console by entering the command si_version

      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      I wanna play Doom 3, but fhDoom has much better features than dhewm3, yet fhDoom is old, outdated and probably not supported.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?
