Sorry if this is a noobish question.

How can I play PWADs with Chocolate Doom? I checked the setup file and tried dragging the PWAD over the exe file but it still doesnt work, my game IWAD is also in the same directory but I get an error "Game IWAD not found" even though when I play it normally it finds the IWAD.

So, can someone tell me from scratch how to play PWADs with Chocolate Doom?

You have to specify the iwad and pwads on the command line(like in the DOS versions). I usually just create a batch file for each wad. For example here is the one for community chest 2(cchest2.bat):

chocolate-doom -iwad doom2.wad -file cchest2.wad -nofullscreen -grabmouse

You really only need the -iwad parameter, the rest are optional.

You could try using a launcher, like ZDL.
