Contrary to popular belief, we are not all-knowing-all-seeing magical beings!

If you want help you're going to have to provide lots of info. Like what is your hardware, what is your operating system, what version of GZDoom/LZDoom/whatever you're using, what mods you're loading, how you're loading it, what you've already tried for fixing the problem, and anything else that is even remotely relevant to the problem.

We can't magically figure out what it is if you're going to be vague, and if we feel like you're just wasting our time with guessing games we will act like that's what you're really doing and won't help you.

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.
