Dont try to use the freedoom.wad file as an IWAD: this is not an IWAD, only a resource wad. Download the doom2.wad file from the download page and use this as an IWAD.

the freedoom wad is just not being accepted as any kind of legit wad, whether i rename it from doom2.wad.gz (to doom2.wad)or not!!!!
Im really interested to see the freedom take on things so it is a little annoying that they wont be recognised!

Oh... You have to unzip it. The .gz means it's a gzipped file. Use Winzip or something on that thing and extract the .WAD from it. Simply renaming it isn't enough.
