for an unknown reason i had problems with "INVERT MOUSE" in settings 
after i´ve done so i´ve not been satisfied with it - so i wanted to go back to " NO "
but than i could not look up and down with the mouse any more .
so after a while i used the " tdm_installer " to rebuild 2.13
(i have 2.13 two times ; one for pur TDM and an other for Snatcher-Mods)
on the version with Snatcher-Mods  this worked quite well - only checking the install and okay - Saves can still be played !!!!
so i made a test and try on the other : there i got the same fault with " invert Mouse "
so i tried the same rescue - but maybe because i may have clicked "custom version "
this time something is overwriten (new hash ? - new Log ? )

is there a way to get my former 2.13 install - to be able to use the saves ?
tdm_installer_new***new.log    is telling : Removing old logfile: tdm_installer_old***old.log
but this is nowhere to be found - and the old hash is ??

Edit : 😉😆 not so important - just discovered most of my important saves are in the Snatcher-version and an older 2.12 install

but by the way : an only " repair " option would be nice  
and an new install of the same TDM-version should not make saves unplayable .
to what are saves related ?

Save file format often changes between TDM versions, because the game starts saving new data into the file.
It is inevitable that save files are not compatible between releases.

I'm not sure what exactly repair option is supposed to do in tdm_installer.
You can install exactly the same version that you already have, then the installer will rollback any local modifications to TDM core files.

I'm not sure what exactly is the problem with "invert mouse", but normally such settings are stored in darkmod.cfg file.
When you run tdm_installer, by default it renames away this file and creates a fresh one.
The config file is relatively compatible between version, and you can press a button to save it at the end of install, or you can manually restore it from backup later.

      So on a regular basis I try to start building something in Darkradiant but very quickly I loose interest and give up.
      I tend to
      create a room, position an ai in it (or first ai, then room, probably better) put a light in it Put some stuff in it test the room in tdm Now I had this new idea:
      Start of with a gigantic room. To skip the importance of sealing for the time being and to think broader than one room. Then just use ground without wall, just to visualise the structure of the level.  Then just use prefab walls and other elements (arches, etc.). Just building area's that aren't enclosed. I can always close them at a later point. Maybe this is all very logical from a mappers perspective, but tdm is the first game where I have done any kind of real mapping and I always stop at the start. It just takes too long to make something exciting.
      I want to build something at some point, because over time I accumulated lots of ideas.

      It would be nice to have a link to the forum thread of a mission in download section, rather than having to search for it manually, like on Thief Guild.

      Terribly difficult juggling map designing with work, but I'm still alive and chipping away at something very special. I'm actually making a collaboration of sorts with a friend, I make the map itself and he acts as my "Chief Scope Creep Consultant" that checks in every so often to make sure this project isn't getting out of hand. It's a good system!
