Then I switched to win2k (which I prefer). It doesn't work. Looks like Windows 2000 isn't supported by DarkMod 1.03 any longer. What a pity.
Not surprising though. I had troubles with Win2k years ago with the Minimalist Project installer. On XP, the installer would be finished in seconds...but in Win2k the installer took several minutes to install. Hopefully we can get things working on there again.

Just to clarify, are you saying the updater doesn't work, or the MOD doesn't work?

In WinXP everything works fine (updater and DarkMod 1.03)
In Win2k nothing works at all (updater and DarkMod 1.03)

So you had the full 1.03 package and it didn't run under Win2k? What kind of error did you get?

Yep
Since I have Visual Studio 2008, I could compile a new dll and send it to you to see if it works. Sound like a plan? At least then we'll know what's happening.

Getting a new update is great, but unfortunately I haven't been able to experience the changes yet.
I ran tdm_update and everything seemed okay, but something went wrong and now, everytime I run tdm_update, I get:
Inline Image:
http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/xx211/mazqin/TDM/cannotfindaddress.jpgI don't remember the exact wording in English, but the address
freeaddrinfo cannot be found in
WS2_32.DLL. The dll itself exists, but searching for the string inside the dll gives no results.
I can still run tdm_launcher, though, and load old savegames and I cannot see any other differences either, so I'm guessing that the update wasn't successful.
I'm still using quite an old OS, and I've had similar problems before with other software, so it's probably not anything wrong with your update, except that it may not support my version of Windows 2000 (sp4 + all the latest hotfixes) (at least not without some, yet unknown, tweaking). I tried finding a newer version of the aforementioned dll, but I haven't found any yet.
Thanks for the update anyway! As soon as I get a chance to buy myself a new machine I'll try it again.
Edit:
I downloaded the latest version of tdm_update, but got the same result, only faster.
Edit 2:
I found an old version of tdm_update (from February 25th 2010 09:53) which still works so right now I am running that and it seems like things are being downloaded and updated. I'm still waiting for it to finish.
That version was able to download most of the updated files, except the following:
Code:
tdm_defs01.pk4
Expected: fbfb07f but got 0fbfb07f. Trying next mirror.
tdm_models01.pk4
Expected: c754648 but got 0c754648. Trying next mirror.
tdm_sound_sfx01.pk4
Expected: fbfc6f9 but got 0fbfc6f9. Trying next mirror.
tdm_textures_plaster01.pk4
Expected: fbfc6f9 but got 0fbfc6f9. Trying next mirror.
Can I download these separately from somewhere or can I download a newer tdm_update that fixes this bug
and still works in win2k?

We're looking into it. :) Don't have a definite answer for you yet, sorry.

OK. I'm trying the torrent now for the missing files, but the torrent is very slow at the moment (I probably won't get the files even in my lifetime). I'll keep it running for a while, though.
Now I have yet another reason to get a more modern system :)
