PWADS from Command line

Forum rules
Contrary to popular belief, we are not all-knowing-all-seeing magical beings!

If you want help you're going to have to provide lots of info. Like what is your hardware, what is your operating system, what version of GZDoom/LZDoom/whatever you're using, what mods you're loading, how you're loading it, what you've already tried for fixing the problem, and anything else that is even remotely relevant to the problem.

We can't magically figure out what it is if you're going to be vague, and if we feel like you're just wasting our time with guessing games we will act like that's what you're really doing and won't help you.

Huh. Well, I suppose that's worth noting for the future then...

Well, I hate to have wasted your time, but it appears to be related to how the built-in Mac 'Unarchiver.app' decompressed the original 'Brutal Doom' download. I decompressed it through the command line, moved it over to the Raspberry Pi and it booted right up on the first try. Thanks very much for your input.

There doesn't seem to be so much as a pixel's difference from 'Doom II'. It's very strange.

It doesn't look like it's having trouble loading any of the files, as it pulled the extra WAD files from it just fine...you say it just loads up regular, completely unmodified Doom 2? No new weapons, monster behavior, or anything?

Could you paste the log output from startup? If it's not convenient to copy and paste the output from your terminal window, add +logfile ~/zdoom-startup.log to your command line and then open the resulting file in your text editor of choice.

I'm using ZDoom 2.8.0 on a Raspberry Pi 3 Raspbian RetroPie system and I'm trying to launch PWADs from the command line. Whatever I do, I always just get the base game with none of the modifications. Using 'Brutal Doom' as an example, I try to launch using:

/opt/retropie/ports/zdoom/zdoom +set fullscreen 1 -iwad /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/ports/doom/doom2.wad -file /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/ports/brutaldoom/brutalv20b.pk3

Everything I've read dictates that this format is correct, but ZDoom continues to only launch 'Doom II' every time.
