I still won't use a launcher!

The Only launcher I'll use is a Rocket Launcher!

Or I could just type "list doom2" to display all my doom2 WADs and then "play doom2 [filename]" when I've found the one I want to play..

They work exactly as I want them to. You might say they were made just for me!!

Made just for you? What a coincidence...

All bow to DOS

Launcher requires start/programs/wtf where is the launcher/etc just to start THAT.

ZDoom requires start/run/down-down/end/ctrl-backspace/mapname/enter

Or... I could just drag the wad file over zdoom...

Man, launchers sre for babies that don't understand how to use their computers. I tried one... but just because it was there (and I'm not generalising these things, I just don't like them!) and it was just too much hassle. Command prompt is not hard at all, you just type your conmmand and -file [wadfile]... that's not hard... or just drag the wad file over Zdoom... a launcher is just a waste of HD space...

So Their (in the toilet).

How would one go about in doing this? I am assuming this means that a script is run immediately once zdoom is launched (?)

Monkeys are purple!

...

*everyone stares at me very angrily*

... This is gonna hurt, isn't it?

Now you say, "Yes. You now have 5 seconds to live."

Then I say, "only 5?"

Then you say, "2 now."

Then I say, "Oh shi-"

Joking about "heh heh heh look at me and how off topic I am" is decidedly un-funny. Shut it.

Actually, a MAPINFO entry that tells ZDoom to immediately run the specified map on launch would be cool, though it wouldn't really help here since it would skip the menu.
