GZDoom shareware issue.

Post by Guest »

I recently downloaded "Doom The Way Id Did" and wish to use it with Project Brutality 2.03. For this I downloaded ZDL 3.2.2.2. I tried to do this by setting DTWID as the IWAD and put Project Brutality's .pk3 file as an external file. When I launch I get the error that I cannot load the mod with the shareware version of Doom. I don't have a copy of the shareware version of Doom and instead have the full IWAD for Ultimate Doom for DOS in my GZDoom folder.

The error verbatim says "You cannot -file with the shareware version. Register!"

DTWID is not an IWAD. Set Doom.wad as the IWAD and add both DTWID and Project Brutality as external files, in that order.
