Critical error "Can't find file package 'tnm'
I have vanilla deus ex installed and while it runs fine I get the following error when attempting to run tnm using the exe located in the deusex/tnm/ folder
Can't find file for package 'tnm'
History: UObject:safeloaderrore <-UObject:staticloadclass<-initgameinfo<-UgameEngine::LoadMap<-UgameEngine::Init<-XgameEngineExt::Init<-DDeusExGameEngine::Init<-InitEngine
If I run tnm.exe located in deusEx/system it shows the mod's loading screen but regular deus ex starts.
As mentioned I have Deus ex goty installed with no other modifications except that I disabled the cd-check in deusex.ini. I am running windows me, but I have little choice.
Is there a way to manually install the game, or is the "package" in question a deus ex file?

You need to start the mod with the shortcut the installer put on your desktop and in your start menu.

Both the shortcut and the file it directs to give me the error. The only tnm exe that "works" is the one located in the dx system folder, and it only starts dx(which I assume is normal).
Looking at my log it seems to encounter the error either while loading entry.dx or right after, and that map file isn't located in tnm's map dir, but it is in dx's map folder. Tried copying it into tnm/maps but still get the error. Here is the relevant section of my log file, and once I find my copy of dx I'll reinstall and let you know if that fixed the issue.

Re: Critical error "Can't find file package 'tnm'
search your deus ex install folder for tnm.u
is it there?
is it there?
Re: Critical error "Can't find file package 'tnm'
it is in tmn's system folder, but not in dx's.
Also I reinstalled both dx and tnm this time making sure I ran dx before installing tnm(last time I simply started the game up until the main menu, this time I made sure to start a game) and still getting the error.
could my tnm installer be corrupt? I would assume if that was the problem the file would not verify correctly but it does(although it takes 10 min or so). Will download it again just to be sure.
I knew this was all too good to be true. The last time I check was about 6 months or longer ago so I was suprised to read you guys had actually gone and done the impossible(release a full featured, fully voiced, apparently excellent deus ex mod). Now this happens? Why god, why?

Re: Critical error "Can't find file package 'tnm'
yeah its supposed to be in the tnm folder. It may be a corrupt installer. Try downloading again I guess.
Re: Critical error "Can't find file package 'tnm'
...And verify the download by performing the MD5 checksum comparison. Search for md5sum; Wikipedia is a possible place to start.[color=#BF0000]that guy[/color] wrote:yeah its supposed to be in the tnm folder. It may be a corrupt installer. Try downloading again I guess.
In fact, you should do that on the copy you have already downloaded, zsieg. If it checks out, you might have something else wrong, like bad system RAM.
Re: Critical error "Can't find file package 'tnm'
zsieg, I seem to be having the same problem as you, and discussing it in this thread. Do check it out now and again, maybe someone will offer a working solution in there.
Re: Critical error "Can't find file package 'tnm'
Ok, downloaded tnm again and verified the checksum and it all checks out, but I still get the error.
Why oh why.

Re: Critical error "Can't find file package 'tnm'
What OS? What drive and directory contains the Deus Ex installation?
I ask because the 64-bit Windows OSes put 32-bit and 64-bit executables in different directories, and sometimes the older applications can't find their files with low-level directory accesses. (The 64-bit Windows OSes will automatically remap high-level calls for you.)
Plus there's the possibility that the installer didn't put files in the expected places...
Edit: I just found out from the thread Cannot start TNM: "Can’t find file for package ’TNM’" that you are using Windows ME. Here's my comment in that thread:

You guys are probably running out of memory. "There are no more files" is a common error in this low-memory situation.
Since the mod is much larger than the original Deus Ex game, I don't know if this can be resolved. But you can try to lower all the settings in your original game, then use those settings in the Deus Ex .INI files in your TNM .INI files for the same variables.
Also, the default higher quality features in TNM may contribute to the problem.
In the end, the mod still might not run in that small memory space. And it probably doesn't matter how much virtual memory you have.
