BishopTx Posted October 19, 2009 Report Share Posted October 19, 2009 First off - really excited about this and want to support this effort - props to the team and thanks. I feel totally ignorant but cannot figure out how to get the 3 FM missions to show up. The training mission is working fine but there are no others to load. I've downloaded the three FM missions and extracted them into the doom3\darkmod\fms directory. It's weird but nowhere in the .zip files are an actual PK4 file and the extraction process doesnt create a folder with the mission name and a pk4 file inside it like the training mission. What am I missing? any help is appreciated. BishopTx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greebo Posted October 19, 2009 Report Share Posted October 19, 2009 There is a FAQ entry on your problem, which is presumably due to IE8 renaming your files without your agreement: http://wiki.thedarkmod.com/index.php?title=FAQ#FM_downloaded_but_won.27t_play Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mortem Desino Posted October 19, 2009 Report Share Posted October 19, 2009 If you're downloading missions with a browser like IE 8, Internet Explorer will automatically rename the *.pk4 to a *.zip. Just rename the FM packages .pk4 and they should work just fine. Quote yay seuss crease touss dome in ouss nose tair Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jetrell Posted October 29, 2009 Report Share Posted October 29, 2009 First of all, congratulations to the Dark Mod Team, the Dark Mod is very impressive. Thank you! I downloaded Dark Mod 1.00 and played the "The Dark Mod Training Mission" without any problems. I then downloaded and played "The Chalice of Kings", "The Crown of Penitence", and "The Outpost" again, without any problems. After that I downloaded "Thiefs Den", "Closemouthed Shadows", and "Saint Lucia". I copied their "pk.4" files and inserted them into my "fms" folder so I could play those missions but they didn't work, the game didn't load the pk.4 files. Is there any way I can play "Thiefs Den", "Closemouthed Shadows", and "Saint Lucia" with Dark Mod 1.00? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackSanguine Posted October 29, 2009 Report Share Posted October 29, 2009 (edited) Not yet. At the moment only Saint Lucia is being converted to 1.0 compatibility. Here's a link.

Jetrell Posted October 29, 2009 Report Share Posted October 29, 2009 I understand. Although I think it's a shame that those other missions will eventually be lost and forgotten because they aren't compatible with Dark Mod 1.00. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gnartsch Posted July 4, 2010 Report Share Posted July 4, 2010 (edited) I understand. Although I think it's a shame that those other missions will eventually be lost and forgotten because they aren't compatible with Dark Mod 1.00. Some good news:besides 'Tears of St. Lucia' having been ported a while back already,Fidcal took care of converting 'Thiefs Den' to TDM just yesterday, too. Ready for download ! I wonder if someone could contact Lord Savage to do the same for 'Closemouthed Shadows' ? Edited July 4, 2010 by gnartsch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fidcal Posted July 4, 2010 Report Share Posted July 4, 2010 Don't think I've heard of that. Was that an FM made with Den assets? BT I should stress I didn't do the converting of Den. Greebo did most of the work. I did a few fixes and testing and uploaded it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gnartsch Posted July 5, 2010 Report Share Posted July 5, 2010 (edited) see First Unofficial FM From non team member I haven't played it yet, but given the fact it was the very first FM (sept. 2008)I would say it deserves a place in the Hall of Fame.Would be a shame if it disappeared into oblivion.
