As long as there is a way to automatically add a command line switch it doesn't really matter. I haven't really investigated yet what methods exist to do that, though.

A command line switch would seem like a better fit than a cvar, given that it alters where the config is stored, so you wouldn't be able to actually save it in the config.

A few suggestions for the new path system:

1. add a CVAR to force using it.
2. -savedir relative to the savegames path, i.e. it should add to it, at least as an option, instead of replacing it completely.

How does 064505 fare for you, then?

As for the crash, it happens because A_AlertMonsters called P_NoiseAlert with a target of 0x00000036, so if moving it out of Program Files seems to have fixed it, you can rest assured that that's probably just a placebo.

Under modern Windows versions 'Program Files' is write protected which may cause problems.
In general 'Program Files' is for stuff that gets installed, not for stuff that gets copied into it manually.

I still think ZDoom needs to handle this better than it does right now. It even got that ancient -cdrom command line switch instead of using the user's AppData folder to store stuff if the program directory is not writable.

no more access violation
I am pretty sure these are related.

Well, it seems to have stopped. I pulled the ZDoom folder out of my Program Files directory and, surprise surprise, no more access violation. Could it be that ZDoom was not being permitted to run correctly?

And if you absolutely must, you still need to upload that custom WAD file. PM it to Randy or Graf upon their request.[/quote]

Got it.

Don't trust random strangers on YouTube.
So, does that mean I gotta have two source ports just to play one mod?
Not really.

Who on Earth told you that? GZDoom is ZDoom with a GL renderer.

Full crash report is uploaded. I'd rather not release my file before its done, but once it is I will. Also, is there a diffrence between ZDoom and GZDoom? Most of the people I asked told me that ZDoom was the new version of GZDoom. :?

Something to do with the codebase I think. I used to be able to run Brutal Doom V17 in ZDoom 2.6.1. Then when it went to V18 I couldn't run it.
All the same, it's better in GZDoom.

Isn't Brutal Doom for GZDoom or did I miss something here?
