You have to either drag the wad onto ZDoom.exe in Win Explorer or in DOS
"zdoom -file palace.wad". If you are going to play a different wad, the "palace" part has to different as well :). fp, w00t.

In Win or DOS it doesn't matter. You can even do "ZdOoM -FiLe LeHa.WaD".

Check palace.txt to see if it's for a map other than MAP01 or maybe even Doom 1.

Doh! OK, from My Computer, go into the directory where zdoom.exe, doom2.wad and palace.wad reside. Now, drag palace.wad over zdoom.exe. That should work.

the console can not read map files. You have to drag them or use start>run>c:\games\doom version here\zdoom.exe -file"wad.wad". Thats about all you can do.

put doom 1 in the same dir and when you start up zdoom, it'll let you choose which wad to load.
