Summary0002725: TDMlauncher does not accept the command line argument that should point it to another executable
DescriptionTDMlauncher 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 ReproduceIn 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.
TagsNo tags attached.

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.

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