tdm_update is the primary method to install and update The Dark Mod.
Where to get it
Each of our mirrors contains a copy of the updater. Get it from here:
- Download from www.fical.com: Windows or Linux or Mac OSX
- Download from www.southquarter.com: Windows or Linux or Mac OSX
- Download from www.darkmod.taaaki.za.net: Windows or Linux or Mac OSX
Use it to install TDM
Unzip the downloaded archive and place:
- Windows: tdm_update.exe into C:\Games\Doom3\darkmod (or wherever Doom 3 is installed) and run it
- Linux: tdm_update.linux into ~/.doom3/darkmod and run it
- Mac: tdm_update.macosx into ~/Library/Application Support/Doom 3/darkmod and run it from the console. (Note: there is a custom darkmod.zip file available containing a helper script allowing you do run the updater directly from Finder - see the Mac OSX section in the Installation#Install_on_Mac_OSX Installation article.)
Note: You must either create the "darkmod" folder by yourself, or place the program directly into the Doom 3 folder so it can create the folder for you.
Use it to update TDM
Simple navigate to your darkmod folder and run tdm_update.
Troubleshooting
Windows 2000
Please install the GDI+ redistributable package, as described in this article: TDM in Windows 2000
Updater closes almost as soon as it's started (1.00 to 1.02 only)
Clear out your temp folder, as follows:
- Click Start
- Click Run
- Type %temp% and press enter (make sure you include the % signs) (if this step doesn't work, try navigating to it - see below for the path)
- Select all (CTRL-A) and (DEL) them.
On Windows Vista, the temporary folder in question is usually at C:\Users\[your Windows user name]\AppData\Local\Temp. On Windows XP, look in C:\Documents and Settings\[your Windows user name]\Application Data\Local Settings\Temp.
I am behind a proxy
Open a console window, navigate (chdir) to your Darkmod folder and use the --proxy argument.
In Windows, open the "Advanced Options" dialog right after starting the updater, and enter the proxy information in the entry field.
