TNM won't launch, launches normal game instead

Post by Wafflemancer »

IMPORTANT NOTICE: I'm playing on a WineSkin Mac port.

After completing the miracle that Deus Ex is, I decided I would try this mod. I downloaded the installer exe and let it run, doing the same with New Vision afterwards. Now, when I launch TNM.exe, it just launches the normal game. Everything runs smooth and excellently well, but still, it doesn't launch the mod. It even shows the TNM splash when launching! Anyone have an idea of what I'm doing wrong? Thanks in advance.

PS: Don't make this a 'Buy a PC/Real Computer' or 'Bootcamp' thread. Not willing to make an entire new partition of my HDD just to play a mod.

The same thing happens when anyone else runs TNM.exe. You need the right command line options which would normally be passed by the windows shortcut. They should be something like: INI="D:\prog\DeusEx\TNM\System\TNM.ini" USERINI="D:\prog\DeusEx\TNM\System\TNMUser.ini" log=TNM.log

I don't even have Deus Ex in D:\prog\DeusEx\ on this computer but if it pointed at the right directory, it would work.

First of all, thank you for the quick reply. Sadly, I have no idea how to do what you just said (Didn't make this port/wrapper myself.) I'd be grateful to anyone that could guide me through this process. Thanks again!

Firstly try to run the shortcut to see if that works. It should be called The Namelless Mod.lnk. There should be a copy in DeusEx/TNM/ and in wherever the installer thinks your start menu is.

If that doesn't work then you'll have to work out how to pass command line arguments in Mac OS, something that I don't know how to do because I don't use it.

There should be a shortcut somewhere with the proper command-line to run the game, as the others have said. Saving that, if you can run batch files, you should be able to put the proper command into one of those. For instance:

Code: Select all

"C:\Deus Ex\System\TNM.exe" INI=..\TNM\System\TNM.ini USERINI=..\TNM\System\TNMUser.ini log=..\TNM\System\TNM.log
Or where ever the location of the files are.

Try to make custom link file. I am playing on Linux, I use a Windows Link file, but I modified it according to my system (I using wine software to run DX).
