Maybe a little problem with the updater


Ladro

Recommended Posts

I've downloaded the full mod from Torrent (very quickly!), and then installed on the right directory on .doom3/darkmod/

 

Then today i tried the updater (linux version), and the updater form the shell tried to update *all* the files of the Mod!

When he's checking checksum i think there is some problem, because i don't think that *all* files need to be updated.

 

Can someone confirm if all files of the mod changed form the main torrent release?

I've been seeding the torrent since release and just ran the updater. Everything is fine and nothing was downloaded. Just make sure you are running it in the darkmod folder, not from another directory.

As Leatherman said, they shouldn't change. Does the updater say the file needs to be updated, or does it say it is missing? Could you post the output please?

As Leatherman said, it was mine fault: the updater must be launched from the directory, is mandatory. I was launching with:

 

 ladro@mymachine:~/ /home/ladro/.doom3/darkmod/tdm_update.linux

 

But results with a wrong checksum, as said.

 

So the right think to do is to launch the updater exactly from the directory path.

So the problem is solved! ;)

 

I hope it helps others with eventually the same issue.

 

Thank you all for helping ;-)

 

[it's useful/possibile to add *solved* on the title of the first message ?]

      The FAQ wiki is almost a proper FAQ now. Probably need to spin-off a bunch of the "remedies" for playing older TDM versions into their own article.

      Was checking out old translation packs and decided to fire up TDM 1.07. Rightful Property with sub-20 FPS areas yay! ( same areas run at 180FPS with cranked eye candy on 2.12 )

      i am so euphoric to see new FMs keep coming out and I am keen to try it out in my leisure time, then suddenly my PC is spouting a couple of S.M.A.R.T errors...
      tbf i cannot afford myself to miss my network emulator image file&progress, important ebooks, hyper-v checkpoint & hyper-v export and the precious thief & TDM gamesaves. Don't fall yourself into & lay your hands on crappy SSD

      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!
