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.

Re: Hocus Doom
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.Trolodon wrote:I tried this too, it didn't work... thanks anyway, I'll search other tips.

Re: Hocus Doom
Perhaps when you downloaded the pk3 file it got corrupted? Have you tried downloading it again?
