How to add mods for doom1 using gzdoom in retropie

[Joseph]

Hey!
So I'm having trouble trying to figure out how to load doom1 mods.
I am using gzdoom on retropie on Ubuntu installed on my laptop.

I got other mods to work perfectly fine for heretic and hexen by changing the gzdoom.ini file found in home/.config/gzdoom/ and by adding my mods path under [heretic.Autoload].

But as I try this method for doom it doesn't seem to work. I tried putting it under doom.id.doom1.autoload and nothing. When using gzdoom on its own without retropie this method works.

I saw something about loading the mod through the emulators.cfg file but I can't seem to find exactly how to use this file can someone please help me out? My emulators.cfg looks like this:

gzdoom = "DOOMWADDIR=/home/me/RetroPie/roms/ports/doom /opt/retropie/ports/gzdoom/gzdoom -iwad %ROM% -fullscreen"
default = "gzdoom"
gzdoom-addon = "DOOMWADDIR=/home/me/RetroPie/roms/ports/doom /opt/retropie/ports/gzdoom/gzdoom -iwad %ROM% -fullscreen -file /home/me/RetroPie/roms/ports/doom/addon/*"

Thank you for any help!

@Joseph if you're trying to do this in RetroPie/ES, then DAZI is your best bet.
Although being you have a laptop with a desktop environment (assuming), why not just put ZDL on there, pretty easy to compile if needed.

Edit: make sure you're not using actual doom1.wad as this is the shareware version which does Not support loading mods.

@RapidEdwin08
Thank you so much for the help! Either of those options will probably work for me.

Also that makes sense now why the doom1.wad wasn't working properly but the Doom.wad I have from buying doom on steam works.

Thank you.
