Any list for compatible Custom WADs in PrBoom

mahcneto

I've tested the original wads and they seem to work fine, but how about custom wads? i've tested Doom coop wad which makes both Doom 1 and 2 a lot harder by expanding the original levels and enemies.

@mahcneto chex quest worked for me which I thought was swanky.

@mahcneto I did get the following Doom 2 mods working in PrBoom:

Alien Vendetta
Batman
Fistful of Doom
Ghostbusters
Memento Mori II (though not part 1)
Ultimate Simpsons Doom

I'm now using Crispy Doom as my Doom port in order to get John Romero's Tech Gone Bad mod running. Crispy Doom also runs Memento Mori I.

DOOM could easily have it's own Raspberry Pi distro. That said, here is a but a handful...

@dudleydes I have managed to get Doom1, Doom 2, Plutonia, TNT, Heretic and Hexen running with Crispy, but how the hell do you get custom WADs working? is there any tutorial for that?

And how about loading a pWad and another aditional wad, like for example simpsons doom + psx soundfx wad at the same time?

PS: How can you set crispy Doom to be 16:9 aspect ratio?

@XD3l Thanks, but that's for PrBoom and ZDoom, I was looking for Crispy Doom info. I've got Heretic & Hexen working! But how can I customize my controls? I've managed to do that for Doom with the Crispy-Doom-Setup, but there's no such a thing for Heretic and Hexen? :(

dudleydes

@mahcneto Crispy Doom is a fork of Chocolate Doom so I was able to use the latter's documentation:
https://www.chocolate-doom.org/wiki/index.php/Category:TCs

I'm using Chocolate Doom source port for Heretic and Hexen as the Crispy fork is no longer updated for these games. If you use Zerojay's script to build Chocolate Doom, then the setup binaries will be included.

You should be able to adjust aspect ratio in the Display Options of the setup binaries - check under Advanced.

mahcneto

@dudleydes I'm a total newbie to do those buil & code stuff, I'm clueless for building that Chocolate Doom thing :/ Is that something I have to download or do I have to write all that code somewhere? Getting Chocolate Doom might mess with my already Crispy Doom wads and script that I already have working?

dudleydes

@mahcneto From your pi, run the following commands:

cd RetroPie-Setup/scriptmodules/ports/
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/zerojay/RetroPie-Extra/master/scriptmodules/ports/chocolate-doom.sh
chmod +x chocolate-doom.sh

Now you should be able to install Chocolate Doom as an experimental package from the RetroPie Script.

The scriptmodule will create scripts for Doom/Doom 2/TNT/Plutonia as well as for Heretic, Hexen and Strife. The Dooms ones shouldn't affect any existing ones as they are all called variations of Chocolate Doom.sh . The scriptmodule will also download the FreeDoom wad. You can delete this as well as any Doom scripts if you won't be using them.

Once you have Chocolate Doom installed, let me know as there are a few tweaks I made that you may find useful.

Incidentally how did you add Crispy Doom to your system?

YOu can get Crispy DOOM through this:

@mahcneto

This is not a mod/PWAD but more of a complete custom IWAD replacement but...

I have a walkthrough to get Freedoom up and running in PrBoom (and ZDoom):
https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/5392/how-to-setup-freedoom-for-retropie

Also you should be able to run the same Doom mods using Freedoom (just incase you don't have/own the original commercial Doom IWADs).

@dudleydes i got Crispy Doom just like XD3l said :) and I got it 'cause I read somewhere I could use keyboard + mouse look + jump, does Chocolate Doom supports that as well? btw I think Crispy Doom doesn't support widescreen, i was messing around with the different resolutions + fix aspect ratio under "advanced" and no luck at all.

Now I've just got Chocolate Doom and all games go fine, except Hexen and its expansion, Deathkings of Dark Citadel, they both don't start at all.

Also, I can see all the games setup files in /opt/retropie/ports/chocolate-doom/ , but whenever I want to run one of them from the command line it says

bash: chocolate--hexen-setup: command not found

any clues?

Why do all these videos look to be in like 10 times the resolution that Doom/Doom2 ever looked on my computer OR the Pi 3? Are there special settings I should be running?

dudleydes

@mahcneto Chocolate Doom doesn't support jump or crouch nor mouse look.

For changing screen resolution, check the official documentation:
https://www.chocolate-doom.org/wiki/index.php/Screen_resolution

For Hexen, check the filenames of the wads. Linux is case sensitive so you may to need to amend your launch scripts.

In your call for the Hexen setup binary, you have two dashes -- after chocolate.

Gotcha. So Chocolate Doom is the program that was running in those higher-resolution videos people posted, correct?

I know how to install Chocolate Doom from the experimental menu, but do you follow the same process as Lr-prboom with .WAD files and all, in order to get Chocolate Doom to work? Zerojay's RetroPie-Extra GitHub doesn't say anything about it - and the Chocolate Doom wiki doesn't tell you how to do it on the Pi either...(currently googling to find some directions...)

mahcneto

@dudleydes Oh yes my bath that was just a typo here, but in Retropie command line i'm doing it well right now and it's not working.

dudleydes

@mahcneto Try the following commands:

cd /opt/retropie/ports/chocolate-doom/
./chocolate-hexen-setup

I had written guides for Chocolate/Crispy DOOM for the wiki, but it appears to have been deleted as they were not part of the official Retropie package.

I've not done anything with Crispy or Chocolate in a while, but I plan to dig back in and shine some light on the subject on one of my upcoming days off.

Do you still have a copy of that guide? If so maybe you could put it out on a new topic.
I was thinking of putting my Freedoom guide on the wiki but was worried it would get deleted as well so I just made my own topic about it.
