Simple question for using mods and/or wads in ZDoom

Post by Dave2600 »

How do I open other wad files with Zdoom? I try the "open with" option on the wad using Zdoom and all it does is open up the Doom 2 levels. I submitted this thread before but I don't think it posted.

Gah, beat me to it. That desktop/theme is dreadful though.

For me it's drag and drop, simple and effective in my opinion! XD

This didn't work. Whether I drag and drop, use open with, use ZDL, GZDoom, or both, it opens up Zdoom (or GZdoom), and brings me to the window that says "more than one IWAD was detected". It then lists Plutonia, TNT, Doom, and Doom 2, and whatever I select is what I play, and not the wad that I had selected before, through whatever method.

Any of the Doom Master level wads, none of them work from the ones I've tried so far.

Have you tried a different wad? Or did you try only the Master Levels?
And you know that you can change the map with the console command "map"?
For example, if you have decided to try a wad that replaces MAP05, ZDoom doesn't take you automatically to MAP05, but you must use the console command "map map05"... :wink:

The wads listed are the main IWADS that contain the main data, PWADS are the addon's...these don't appear in the list because they don't need to...
You choose your PWAD depending what you what.
For example:
The master level wads are doom2 levels, so you would choose DOOM2 as your main IWAD, whereas KDiZD uses the DOOM IWAD, and so forth.
Have you attually tried playing? Sorry if that's a stupid question, but if you havent even tried you can't say it doesn't work... =P
