Trying to run ViveDoom 0.5.5 with Simon's Destiny 1.4

[prewitt86]

Any clues on how to get this working? I'm trying to run GZDooM: ViveDoom (v0.5.5) with Castlevania: Simon's Destiny (v1.4) on a Windows 11 machine. ViveDoom runs fine, and Simon's Destiny works with proper/normal GZDooM

When I launch ViveDoom, the "Castlevania.ipk3" doesn't show up on the wad list, so when I try to drag the .ipk3 over either the .exe or the .bat for the VR GZDooM, it gives me this error:

The error implies that the source port lacks support for a GLDEFS feature that the game you're trying to play makes use of.

Thanks for the reply! I take it that, in Layman's terms, this means that unless ViveDooM gets an update supporting GLDEFS, then I'm SOL, right?

It does support GLDEFS, but the featureset it supports is not enough to run the mod in question. So, the answer is essentially "yes".

It appears that VIveDoom hasn't been updated for quite a while, but there is a link to another project called GZDoomVR in the ViveDoom thread. I don't have a VR headset myself, so I can't say if GZDoomVR will work for you - but at least it seems to be up-to-date with the latest GZDoom release as of now (4.7.1).

IT WORKS!!! Thank you so much! I've been wanting to play this mod for a while now, and now I can actually enjoy it in VR!

Who is Graham Dartworth and why did they post my response instead of my post being posted? Is it because the mods have to screen everything for new members?
