ZDoom questions
-
tried the new method and still kicks me back to ES. Does this version supports .pk3 files ? I'm trying with a.wad though, dunno what might be happening, followed the tutorial step by step
-
It's funny, I decided to give 'Brutal Doom' another try and I'm facing the same problem at this very minute. All I can think is that there's some other way that pk3 files must be launched from the command line. I'm scouring the internet, but most every bit of advice is just to drag the pk3 file onto the ZDoom window, but of course that doesn't apply here. I can't find a reference for the command line usage anywhere.
Edit: The only difference is that I don't get kicked back to Emulation Station. Instead, it always loads the base IWAD and completely ignores the pk3.
-
@mediamogul I'm trying with an .iwad file though, and i'm having this problem. I replaced the iwad name to the one I have, and also i even changed my iwad to The Darkest hor to just copy and paste stuff but still get back to ES, any clues?
-
Not at this time. The commands are relatively straight forward. Perhaps the whole ability to run PWADS is broken.
-
@edmaul69 what about you, man? you seem to know how to play custom wads with zdoom, can you guide me please?
-
Post the contents of your
/dev/shm/runcommand.logand let's see how far it's able to open. -
@mahcneto @mediamogul iam posting a few of my configs. i will note that i keep all of my iwads, pwads, pk3 and any other files all in one location. all files work for me.

@mahcneto read my last post. also remember, everything is case sensitive.
@mediamogul @mahcneto i should also mention i give 0777 permissions to every single file i add to the doom folder.
-
I'll try changing the permissions. I've got a question posted to the ZDoom forums about 'Brutal Doom'.
-
Well, my particular issue was related to how the built-in Mac 'Unarchiver.app' decompressed the original download. I decompressed it through the command line, moved it over to the Pi and it booted right up on the first try. At first blush 'Brutal Doom' appears to be running very well.
-
Holy schnikes, this game is amazing!
-
@mediamogul are you running the 2.0 version? Im actually having trouble finding the brutal doom download. I was able to get the add-on but on the site i couldnt figure out how to get the game.
Edit: i think i have the correct file. Is the file brutalv20b.pk3?
-
Yeah, v20 is running very well. I'm finalizing a few things on the setup right now, so I haven't stress tested it, but it seems to scream. Their downloads section is a little confusing. The main download is this one.
-
i also got the brutal doom hell on earth starter pack. it has bdv20 plus hellonearthstarterpack.wad and freedoom.wad. not sure what they are exactly just yet
-
Supposedly the 'Metal Soundtrack' is highly recommended. Unfortunately, I have a long day tomorrow and I can't enjoy the fruits of my labor just yet. Oh well, knowing all that carnage is waiting for me will give me something to look forward to.
-
@mediamogul so is this a mod that if i use it on doom 2 it makes doom 2 better but is still doom 2? if so then i need to make configs for both final dooms and ultimate doom as well correct?
-
Exactly. Also, I didn't want to set up the free look mouse feature globally in the
.inifile, so I added+set freelook 1to each of the BD launch scripts. Either way should work though. -
@mediamogul it sucks that you have to use mouse look. I have my apple iie keyboard configured to make controls easier but using arrow keys on it arent very easy.
-
Let me tell you, it feels ODD to see yourself looking all around in a game you've associated with a locked view point for over twenty years.

That's how I originally played Doom when it first came out. I didn't like using the mouse then because there was little benefit by using it. Your point of view was locked horizontally so all the mouse did was push you around and I felt like I had more control using the
<and>keys for strafing. This was pre-WASD. I remember Half-Life being the first game I'd played that used WASD + mouse and I remembered feeling like I had finally found the best FPS controls! Where have you been all my life?Let me tell you, it feels ODD to see yourself looking all around in a game you've associated with a locked view point for over twenty years.
I remember the first time I used the source port Doom Legacy and I was able to look all the way up and all the way down (using the OpenGL version) and I was able to jump (which they added the grunt jump sound from Quake). Made for some fun deathmatches. I suddenly wanted to play Doom all over again! Also Doom is the grandfather of having community made maps, mods and total conversions!
