[Bashe]

What exactly were you doing when the error happened?

[Joeyxp2]

I was trying to play a wad I downloaded called STRAIN so I dragged it into ZDoom. Then it closed and showed me a pop up that was labeled Zdoom Very Fatal Error and it told me to e-mail the creator so he can fix the problem in the next version of ZDoom.

[Bashe]

It appears that you are using version .63a. Have you tried using .96?

[Joeyxp2]

Thanks, I will try that. Version 0.96 seems to have come out recently so I haven't heard of it but now I do.

It still won't work, there's probably something wrong with the wad itself to make it not compatible with ZDoom.

[Graf Zahl]

Works for me - even without using the included DEH patch. The WAD you are using must be corrupt in some way.

[Bashe]

Yeah, try getting the wad again and then give us a report.

[Joeyxp2]

I downloaded it from another site but this time it appears to be corrupt again. Because when I used Winrar to open the file it showed Unexpected end of archive even though I could unzip it. Can you tell me where I can download the file that isn't corrupted? I also need help getting Mordeth to work.

[wildweasel]

Both Strain and Mordeth are rather tricky to set up - I recall I had to spend about fifteen minutes installing it on my vanilla Doom 2 installation, then another 5 figuring out how to get the WAD and DEH to work in ZDoom.

As for Strain, it's a simple matter of just having vanilla Doom 2 in its own directory with the installer available at http://www.doomworld.com/idgames.

[Joeyxp2]

That's exactly where I found STRAIN from. I looked through DoomWorld top 100 wads and STRAIN was one of the wads that caught my eye. The file I downloaded from there was corrupted though. I can run Mordeth all right but where are the new monsters and the special effects like fog. It looks and feels like a regular Doom custom wad to me. Can you give me the steps to get it running? Thanks.

[Zippy]

If you really want, I already have the pieces of STRAIN put together, so I could just send it to you somehow. I don't see any harm in it. And this way you wouldn't have to go through installing Doom 2 if you don't already have it installed, just to put the file together.

[Bashe]

Somebody should just upload the wad itself and deh to the idgames archive.

[Graf Zahl]

It is in the /idgames archive!

[Cutmanmike]

Bashe...... helping people.....? WTFCAKES

[Kirby]

That wasn't exactly "helping".....
