Hacx on the IWAD list

IMO, Hacx should be on the "Pick an IWAD" menu.

Needs doom2.wad, hacx.wad, hacx.deh to run.

It's been suggested countless times...I believe Randy's ultimate decision is that it won't be added.

IMO, ZDoom should check for anything with an IWAD header in it's directory and include that on the list. Also IMO, including anything besides an officially released IWAD would not be cool otherwise.

Hacx is considered a p-wad. Not an Iwad.

Which is why it shoulnd't be added on the list.

So this idea was wrong from the beginning? I still think my idea is a good one since real IWADS aren't dependant on other files.

Deathkings is. But it doesn't need a DEH-patch.

It's also an official, original release. HacX isn't. There are plenty of WADs that replace all the levels, some graphics and contain a deh patch but which still require Doom2.wad. On that basis, even one of my WADs should qualify to be supported. Only difference is mine was never a commercial venture. Should they all be supported? I'd say no, and if you want to add them, use a configurable launcher.

Couldn't the "Pick an IWAD" menu be made configurable by the end-user?

Post by **Graf Zahl** » Tue Sep 20, 2005 9:29 am

Sure. But that would necessitate a control file where you had to specify all the WADs being loaded and the command line options being used. And I said before that the ones demanding such a feature for the WAD dialog are the ones least likely to bother with such a file.

Doesn't ZDL support HacX in its list of IWADs initially?

It'd be nice it we could somehow add things to the IWAD list.

My Wolf3D TC, in its current version on my hard drive, runs as an IWAD (using -iwad on the command line) without any other .wads. It'd be cool if I could add it as a new choice, and allow it to have its own config section in the .ini...
