| Summary | 0002725: TDMlauncher does not accept the command line argument that should point it to another executable | ||||
| Description | TDMlauncher does not accept the command line argument that should point it to another executable. For example, to avoid Catalyst AI optimization on ATI cards, a viable method is to rename doom3.exe to darkathena.exe. However, while TDMlauncher accepts a different path to the doom3.exe, it does not accept any other executables. | ||||
| Steps To Reproduce | In the command line, go to the darkmod folder and type in "tdmlauncher [path to doom3]\darkmod\darkathena.exe" (after you have renamed doom3.exe to darkathena.exe). Nothing happens. Real-word use on my system: In the command line promt, go to h:\games\doom3\darkmod\ Type in tdmlauncher h:\games\doom3\darkathena.exe The prompt returns, nothing happens. | ||||

This is the log excerpt where Tels discovered that the launcher is only accepting a new path, not a new executable: No path defined in argv[0], will prepend current directory. Path to tdmlauncher is H:\Games\Doom3\darkmod\ tdmlauncher Darkmod directory is H:\Games\Doom3\darkmod\ Trying default value for engine executable is H:\Games\Doom3\DOOM3.exe Could not find engine executable at default locations, will be searching command line arguments for a path to doom3 executable. Current FM is: heart Full argument string is: +set fs_game_base darkmod +set fs_game heart Starting process H:\Games\Doom3\DOOM3.exe +set fs_game_base darkmod +set fs_game heart Error when spawning D3 process: No such file or directory Closing logfile. http://modetwo.net/darkmod/index.php?/topic/12444-fisheye-resolution-1920x1080/page__view__findpost__p__253611 |

| TDM launcher will be obselete in v1.08, so there is no point in fixing it anymore. | |
