You need to load Ultimate Doom as an IWAD, not a PWAD. Loading it as a pwad is what's giving you problems. Depending on what engine (PrBoom?) you are using, and your system configuration, you should be able to run the executable from the command line with the -iwad parameter pointing to Ultimate Doom's DOOM.WAD.
If you're not concerned with FreeDoom (ie. you just want to play Ultimate Doom), you could probably just delete the FreeDoom IWAD, and put DOOM.WAD in the local directory of the executable. It should then load Ultimate Doom by default instead of FreeDoom.
[edit:] As I mentioned a few posts up, you should be able to write a short shell script to launch Ultimate Doom as an IWAD. At the most basic, it could look something like this:
code:
#!/bin/sh
cd [_YOUR_ENGINE_DIRECTORY_HERE_]
[_ENGINE_EXECUTABLE_] -iwad "[_FULL PATH TO DOOM.WAD_]"
But that wouldn't let you pick between multiple IWADs or let you quickly load PWADs (and I honestly can't remember how you would implement such via a .sh anyway).
If you're more comfortable using some kind of fancy GUI-based thing, you could probably put the arguments that you want into a symlink icon on your desktop, but again, I don't actually know how you'd set that up ATM.
