UZDoom appimage bash script

Post by Bwongo »

Yeah hey so I use linux mint and for a while I had a pretty good formula for running mods in pk3s with GZDoom (I used the flatpak) but once I updated to UZDoom I realized that its only on Appimage. I have zero clues how to write a bash script to run pk3s with an Appimage so I am seeing if anyone on here can help me out. I don't think it's relevant but if it turns out to be I am trying to run The Pink Valley mod.

AppImage is just a packed executable, you chmod +x it and run it raw. Command-line should pass right on down into the packed binary.

./UZDoom-whatever.AppImage -iwad /path/to/doom2.wad -file /path/to/mods.pk3 etc

Probably even be ZDL/etc compatible.
