Reporting Problem

Introduction

Doesnt run TDM on your system, when your start TDM and get errors. There are several ways to analyse these problems.

Creating Logs

one of the ways are creating Logs. TDM places a logfile in his application folder, named darkmod.log. This plaintext textfile can be opened with your favorite texteditor.

To create a log, open your command prompt (terminal, etc) and navigate to your darkmod folder. From there, call your call tdm executable with several arguments.

   tdmexecutable +<argument>

(for the following examples, we use the tdm-executable for windows)

To start tdm, create a log named, mylog.txt, and quit tdm.

   thedarkmod.exe +condump mylog.txt +quit

For videoproblems: start tdm, ask for grapicsinfo, save to log and quit

   thedarkmod.exe +gfxinfo +condump mylog.txt +quit

For starting a mission: start tdm, install a mission (for example trainingsmission and quit.

   thedarkmod.exe +map training_mission +condump mylog2.txt +quit

To create a log with some arguments and loading a mission

   thedarkmod.exe +developer 1 +set logfile 2 +map training_mission
