[User error] [Solved] No door sounds in Scythe 1 wad

[Sander Bouwhuis]

I just played Doom 1, Doom 2, and TNT Evilution without problems. Tonight I tried Scythe 1, but the doors make no sounds when opening or closing. This is so strange and annoying! When pressing a switch or walking I'm really dependent on hearing a door open/close somewhere.

Is this a bug in Scyte, or is it a bug in Gzdoom, or is it a setting that I have to change?

Assuming that we are talking about https://www.doomworld.com/idgames/level ... ads/scythe

Both the fast and the slow doors make sounds for me.

How did you load this?

[Sander Bouwhuis]

ZDL:
1. Start ZDL.exe
2. Select Scythe
3. Choose 'Hard'
4. Press 'Launch'

Gzdoom:
1. Choose Doom 2
2. Press 'Play game'

If you are loading what I think you are loading (i.e. everything in the left panel of your ZDL shot), I'm surprised anything is working.

Comparison:


Also, it's not an IWAD, so it shouldn't be in the IWAD list.

[Sander Bouwhuis]

Aha! User error then.

I thought I had to include everything in those lists.
Is there a way I can simply use Gzdoom without using ZDL? I.e., such that I can simply start Gzdoom and select it from the list?

[Enjay]

Yes you can. Just drag and drop SCYTHE.WAD onto the GZDoom executable and, provided that GZDoom has the Doom2 IWAD available (usually by putting it in the GZDoom directory) it should work.

ZDL is very easy once it's set up though. The main setup step is configuring the IWADs that you want in the right panel. Then you just just drag and drop and WADs that you want to play onto the left. If you want to temporarily disable a WAD on the left, the little up arrow below the list () can be used to toggle loading them (a disabled WAD is shown with a strike through).
