Sigil on ZDoomDos is not working.

Post by Memes4LyfeLives »

Yes. I know i am using an outdated source port, but i just want to for the lulz.

So, whenever i start zdoomdos normally, it just works. But when i load sigil, it just freezes on the load screen. I think it has something to do with dos not being compatible with an additional episode.

The reason i am using zdoom on dos is because i thought "hey. Its probably just like GZDoom, with less features. It could run sigil".

but whenever i load sigil, i get stuck at the zdoom loading screen.

Seem to recall there's a vanilla version of Sigil where it replaces Episode 3 - you might try using that one instead.

Of course, the main wad uses MAPINFO. Also there are other DOS ports, ZDoom had no music in DOS.

That's not a source port but a hacked Doom+ exe AFAIK. That guy gave me some hints to support SIGIL in RUDE but i took it from Crispy and then i fixed MP when i added support in the setup tool. If you're on win98 you could try RUDE from the command line but i'm not sure if it still runs on 98 (it should). I don't think there's any good port with native SIGIL support for DOS.
