Im sure it has already been mentioned, but I am confirming that I plugged my DarkMod zip into my kids Windows8 laptop and it works like a dream "right out of the box".

Does the darkmod update ok from 1.8 to 2?
Also, does the mission downloader marks the all missions which need to be redownloaded (and leaves the other alone, thanks very much)?
If i do update this way, am i supposed to move the darkmod folder out of the doom3 folder and only use that?

Yes, the updater will update from 1.8 to 2.0. :) If you run into an issue after, run the updater again to make sure all files are valid. With tech, there is always the possibility for an issue to pop up here and there.

I'll let someone with a little more knowledge of the downloader answer that one.

You don't necessarily have to, but if you no longer play Doom 3, then there is no reason to keep it so you might as well just copy / paste your darkmod folder outside of it into your regular gaming directory. Remember to update your shortcut to thedarkmod.exe though. :)

Unfortunately quite a few missions needed to be updated to 2.0, but did not receive a new version number.
As a result, the updater doesn't have any chance at all to figure out exactly which missions need to be updated.
It checks only the version number and nothing else.
I am afraid that you MUST delete the entire content in the fms folders including the missions.tdminfo file!
Otherwise some old mission may remain and won't work.
That's what I was told on the TDM forum, and I can confirm that.

You guys did a fantastic job, I'm thoroughly enjoying it. Lots of great FMs!

I could not find a standalone download on the download page, merely the updater.
Great stuff anyway, thanks!

@Csimbi - read the instruction on the download page again, using the updater is the way to download the mod. Just start it up and the mod will begin downloading to your computer.

Yes, as Brethren pointed out, you use the updater to download the Mod.
Create a folder on your hard drive named darkmod, put the updater inside it and run the updater. It will place all the files inside that folder.

Yeah, I got that after a while, but I was browsing for a 'Download standalone' type of link/text ;-)
I used the updater quite a lot in the past, so I skipped over that a few times, lol
