You can grab them on the Fan Missions forums on the darkmod boards.
Yes, unfortunately the mission downloader needs to get the download information from our main server, which is currently swamped, so until that settles down, new missions will have to be downloaded from direct links in the forums. Also, there are some direct links on this page to missions that were updated for 2.0: http://wiki.thedarkmod.com/index.php..._assets_by_map
Just drop them in your darkmod/fms folder.
Until it calms down a bit here is another option for people to use, that bypasses the slower mirrors and the need to download the tdm_mirrors.txt file from the already swamped darkmod.com server.
- Download the attached file and save the following file to the root of the Darkmod folder, over-writing the one there already.
- Run the tdm_update.exe and on the main windows click on "advanced options"
- Then click on "dont search for new mirrors" and then click save.
- Then click on "continue"
- If your updating from an earlier version of TDM, you need to check the "dont search for new mirrors" once again, after 'tdm_update.exe' updates itself and restarts.mack sure to do steps 2-4 again.
- Please note the manual mirrors list wont work when you want to download mission's, you need to replace the "tdm_mirrors.txt" file with the default one - see attached.
- see the screenshot below for steps 2-4.

In case you update from an earlier version of TDM, note that you need to check the "dont search for new mirrors" once again after the updater updated itself and restarted.
Grats to the darkmod team. You guys are awesome.
I hear the servers are overloaded and unable to link to the internet. I too have "Failed" problems. I think if we (you and me) wait a bit they will be back up so we can DL the mod!Originally Posted by DJ Riff
Wow, I just found out Dark Mod went standalone via a post on my activity feed in Steam.
Congrats! What an achievement.
Edit: Was just trying to download it and ran into problems. Got the updater to cooperate thanks to bikerdude and gnartsch!

we support mac in version 1.08 only atm.
Hey, maybe it could be possible to implement torrents in to the game instead of using direct download for missions? I love the mod by the way. The movement feels perfect, better than the originals. I couldn't believe it really, and you guys nailed the feeling of leaning in thief 1 and 2. I wonder, are there any plans to add modifier keys for controls? like binding alt+W to leaning forward, or something.
Open the darkmod.cfg and autoexec or autocommands.cfg files and change com_allowConsole from 1 to 0.
You can still open the console by pressing CTRL+ALT+~, but that frees up the tilde key.
Another option:
> Just wanted to let you know that we have a mirror for The Dark Mod 2.0 Standalone up at http://atomicgamer.c...-v2-0-free-game . I noticed that the Dark Mod site is offline - I'm guessing because of all the people trying to get the game - so if you have a way of getting this link out to ease the strain on servers, please do. Thanks!

Forgot to post that over here.
Most of you have probably never heard of Phoronix but its a Linux News Site.
They posted about Darkmod 2.0 there http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?pag...tem&px=MTQ4MjY
Funny I heard about it from there before seeing it here. Guess I don't come here enough anymore, something I should fix.
Just thought you might want to know.
Cheers!
This is awesome. I used Bikerdude's trick last night and it downloaded the whole thing 10 minutes. Thanks a lot!
I guess the FM server is down too, because last night I tried to download FMs from in the game and the list wouldn't load.
It was down, as it uses our main server. We've added another one though, so you might have some luck downloading missions now.
Cool, thanks I'll try again.
I did say "Most of you", considering that most people have never even heard of linux or if they have do not know what it is its a fairly safe bet.I've heard of it. I even read it now and then. Don't be so quick to assume things here on TTLG.
Have you heard of SteamOS then ? Looking forward to that! Will take a while though.
Just a PSA:
Since our website was down, many people have been downloading TDM 2.0 from other sources, and thus may not have seen an important part of the installation instructions:
The Dark Mod MUST be installed in a folder called "darkmod", otherwise saved games will not load.
Please spread this information around; some people have reported problems because they were unaware of this.
Tossed up a mirror here: http://derfy.net/tdm/

The Moddb release article has been updated with additional mission details.

Also, the full install package is finally up at Moddb too (for those who cant use torrents).
Awesome!
For me, this is like Thief 4 has been released. Please let me know System Specs to run TDM 2.0
http://wiki.thedarkmod.com/index.php...Configurations
Awesome news, thank you! I can't wait to try it out. In light of how Thief 4 is beginning to shape up, this brought a big smile to my face
With the lack of Thief 2 FM's being released lately, I've been looking all over for a copy of Doom 3 (non-BFG, of course) with no luck. I came to the Dark Mod forum today to ask if there was a way of running the game without a copy of Doom 3. If I had asked this question a few days ago my answer would have been no. Finding out that TDM 2.0 was available made me jump for joy. The anticipation of waiting for the download to finish is killing me. I'm only getting 4kB/sec.I know this sounds corny, but can everyone else share with me the rate you're getting so I know that it's just not me. Thanks
