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
