It has come to my attention that I have 327 items in my /Doom 2 folder (including 14 subfolders). Which begs the question: what's in the original Doom 2 folder, the one that you download from id.com? All I can think of is Doom 2.WAD, Doom95.exe, and probably a .bak file.

Does anyone have a "pure" doom 2 folder?

Let's have a look...

code:

DEFAULT.CFG    DM.CFG
DM.DOC         DM.EXE         DMFAQ66A.TXT   DMFAQ66B.TXT   DMFAQ66C.TXT
DMFAQ66D.TXT   DOOM2.EXE      DOOM2.WAD      DWANGO.DOC     DWANGO.EXE
DWANGO.SRV     DWANGO.STR     HELPME.TXT     IPXSETUP.EXE   MODEM.CFG
MODEM.NUM      MODEM.STR      ORDER.FRM      README.TXT     SERSETUP.EXE
SETUP.EXE


It really depends on whether you mean Doom2 or Doom95.

It also depends if you're installing from early v1.666 disks or CD, or you've patched up to v1.9, or have a modern Doom95 install.

Nixot's got the DOS essentials there, which is how it should be :)

And who knows, maybe I'm wrong. But that's extremely unlikely because I'm always right.

Hmm.. everytime I've installed doom I just scrapped everything else and fished out the IWAD.

But then, how does one install older mods that aren't just wads? It is a little irritating that the older ones have some convoluted install procedure that "requires" the doom 2 folder.

Most of them are just a DEH file. You can add this to the WAD as a DEHACKED lump, or most sourceports (including later Vanilla exes) let you launch them with -file name.wad -deh name.deh

I pretty much assumed as much... but I wasn't sure. I don't know anything about how to build a modification for doom, so I don't know what these old install programs are supposed to do.

Yes, originally you had to use dehacked to make a new, hacked version of doom2.exe

I downloaded Doom about a year and a half ago, so I'm talking about Doom 95.

well if you are talking about doom95 running the doom 2 iwad from the doom collectors edition disk then:
doom95.exe
doomcfg.dll
doomipx.dll
doomlnch.dll
doommdm.dll
doomser.dll
dplay.dll
Msvbvm50.dll
doom2.wad

Then in a seperate folder named Extras/Help/Manual is:
DOOM 2 Manual.pdf

It does, and in the strictest sense. It just doesn't read DEH file patches during startup and they must be applied beforehand to a copy. Support doesn't mean "has a command line parameter that reads the output of DeHackEd or reads a DEHACKED lump in PWADs."

Incidentally, it's the only one which fully supports it, aside from Chocolate, which has imitated it quite on purpose. More advanced ports tend to lack a few text string replacements. For example, in Doom you can tell the game to display one graphic at the end of episode 1 and another after one of the demos in the demo sequence, when normally they are the same. Boom and others won't read that DeHackEd change, and all you can do for them is change the graphic, which will show up the same way in both places.
