ZDoom , SLADE or DoomBuider for Ubuntu 14.04

Recommended Posts

ZDoom and SLADE3 - yes. Either you find their Linux version downloads, or if you cannot find them or the programs don't work on your computer, you will have to compile them from their source code according to instructions on their respective websites and wikis.

Doom Builder - no, it's Windows only. Anyway, you can either try using a virtual machine kind of program to emulate Windows environment on Linux, or you can use SLADE3's mapping editor or for example Eureka Editor to make maps.

If you cannot find them on their official websites, do the source code compilation, which is surely described on their websites.

Yadex is the way to go. It edits ALPHA MAPS!


Eureka is a nicer version of yadex.

Wadc runs on Ubuntu and supports zdoom maps.

Well er, no but..

Sorry?

It's an editor, yes. In some ways less powerful than SLADE, in some much more - rather orthogonal.

I'll be uploading it to Debian in a few days.

Well, Zdoom is the only one that supports all of Zdoom. Eternity has quite a lot of compatibility.

Can I suggest you spend some time reading the doom wiki to get up to speed on ports, features, editors etc.?

What I told you 2 times already in this thread: Compile it from source code. Instructions can be found on the ZDoom website.

ZDoom has a linux edition
But Where ?

Nah, the wiki says ZDoom runs on linux, not that there is a 'linux edition'. That aside, have you tried the builds that gez already mentioned in this thread?

Or, just building it from source like everyone else?

Yes , but adding debian repositories resulted my ubuntu software center to cause error.

Zdoom predates Ubuntu by 6 years. Having said that, it would probably have been packaged in Debian properly if the license wasn't non-commercial/non-DFSG compatible (I would have done it myself), and that would have ended up in Ubuntu (like chocolate-doom ,prboom-plus, etc.)
