Updating from 2.09 shows "Files upd to date"

[Destined]

Hi all,

after a longer hiatus, during which I was not very active on the board and only occaisonally visited, I wanted to start up The Dark Mod again (and continue to work on my current map). Since time has not stood still here, I wanted to update first, but when I run the updater, it tells me, that all files are up to date? Have there been bigger changes that require a fresh install, or can this have other reasons?

If I need a fresh install, could you remind me, hwo to transfer settings. I know, it was not very difficult, but I would like to avoid to miss any files.

Thank you very much in advance!

tdm_updater is no longer supported.

You need to use tdm_installer:

https://www.thedarkmod.com/downloads/

Windows:

https://update.thedarkmod.com/zipsync/tdm_installer.exe.zip

Linux:

https://update.thedarkmod.com/zipsync/tdm_installer.linux64.zip

The installer gives you the option to restore your Darkmod.cfg so doing that will preserve your old settings.

 

Also, as of 2.10 only 64-bit versions are supported. If you need 32-bit you can download the full package here:

https://www.moddb.com/mods/the-dark-mod/downloads/the-dark-mod-211-full

To preserve your old settings for 32-bit upgrades like this, copy your old Darkmod.cfg and DarkmodKeybinds.cfg files somewhere then overwrite the new ones in your darkmod directory with your backups.

Thank you very much! I will try to use the installer then. 32-bit version is not required for me, but good to know...

Have you updated DR as well? There have been a lot of changes with new useful features.

No, I have not, but was expecting that Dark Radiant also has further developed. I first wanted to update the game, before turning to DR. But thank you for the remonder.
