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.

Re: Trying to run in mac getting opengl errors
First you need to give more info about the error you get. This is far, far too vague.
Re: Trying to run in mac getting opengl errors
And why do you need Wineskin or CrossOver to run GZDoom? You should use native macOS version.

We could really use more information about your computer. What are the system specs?

First, delete the gzdoom.exe and gzdoom.pk3 that comes with Brutal Doom. Then download the latest version from here (get the Mac version) - and replace your deleted gzdoom.exe and gzdoom.pk3 with the mac version from that page.Lanesracra wrote:If I want to run Brutal Doom with the campaign, which version should I download and how do I run it with the native Mac version?_mental_ wrote:And why do you need Wineskin or CrossOver to run GZDoom?

You do not need to run wine to run GZDoom and it's absolutely senseless to do so.

Re: Trying to run in mac getting opengl errors
Is it possible to run other campaigns with the brutal doom graphic enhancements, or are custom wads incompatible with that?
Re: Trying to run in mac getting opengl errors
I have no idea. You'll have to try it and see.
Some will work, some won't, and it's not very easy to list them off the top of one's head what works unless it's something that person plays a lot. And I don't use Brutal Doom, so that list is empty for me.

Re: Trying to run in mac getting opengl errors
What would you suggest for graphical enhancements as an alternative?
Re: Trying to run in mac getting opengl errors
Nash's Gore mod is one that comes up a lot for people who like or enjoy Brutal Doom and Nash takes special care to try and make his mods compatible with everything. (Except, obviously, Zandronum or older versions of GZDoom)
Smooth Doom comes up pretty frequently, too - it mostly adds rotations and extra tween-animation frames for the enemies.
Also, the Gameplay Mods forum is full of stuff to try. Anything that makes it past 3 pages in user replies is probably worth checking out if you're new to GZDoom and short on time, but occasionally new stuff appears too that's awesome and worth checking out, as well.
If you want new maps and new challenges to beat, then obviously check out the Levels and Total Conversions as well.

Okay, what's the easiest way to run these files together with the mac GZDoom client? I'm a bit confused and dragging and dropping has...mixed effects
