OK, give us a few more clues - like what's it called or where can we get this file?

Or is it not available on the internet?

If we can get access to the file, someone can probably tell you how to run it.

Absolutely. Just load the file, start a game and watch. It should run automatically.

However, I think there may have been a problem with some versions of Zdoom. I know that, for a while at least, the movie broke half way through with some versions of Zdoom. I don't know if that has been resolved or not.

So, just drag the file onto the zdoom icon, start a game and sit back with a packet of kleenex* handy.

:laff: I guess it's clear how your mind works then. ;)

OK, I just watched the version from here with 2.1.7 so it works

However, there is one essential piece of information I forgot (though it is mentioned in the text file). It is not map01 but map25. So, start a game and use idclev25 to get there, or map map25 at the console or add -warp 25 to the command line.

Vista shouldn't affect your wad.

Well, for what ever reason, the WAD isn't loading. When you start the game, drop down the console and see which WADs are loaded (by scrolling up to the bit that tells you using PageUp). Vista should not cause this problem.

Seriously, there is nothing unusual about this WAD (as far as loading it goes). You just add it to the command line like you would any other pwad (or use any of the other methods of loading a WAD) then go to the level it replaces.

Maybe you should try a WAD launcher. I recommend ZDL 3.1
