Um.. You just download the pk3 file fom the first post and drag it on the gzdoom.exe.
You dont need to extract the pk3 file.

I tried this too, it didn't work... thanks anyway, I'll search other tips.

How is it not working? Are you getting any error messages?

You should be able to run the pk3 exactly as a wad. either 'gzdoom.exe -file hocusdoom.pk3' or dragging the file directly onto Gzdoom's exe icon will work.

Perhaps when you downloaded the pk3 file it got corrupted? Have you tried downloading it again?

It finally worked! In fact, I had not downloaded Doom II properly. Thanks for your answers.

The game is awesome! The graphics are wonderful, and faithful to the 2D Hocus Pocus...Great job!

Okay, maybe a little sooner than that. A lot of new levels were added since the last update. As always, I'd love to hear feedback about them!
