DooMBoy Posted May 20, 2001 Does anybody know of any programs that can automatically unzip and install source ports such as Boom or ZDoom without you doing any of the work? I know I'd like to have something like that, and I'm sure a lot of other Doomers would, too. 0 Share this post Link to post
Lüt Posted May 20, 2001 How can you even see the screen through the haze? Unzip the source port in the game directory and run it. It would take longer to configure a program like that than it would to unzip each port you download. 0 Share this post Link to post
Zaldron Posted May 20, 2001 Work? You just drag the files inside your doom folder... Do not worry, telephatic controllers will exist before we die... 0 Share this post Link to post

deadnail Posted May 20, 2001 I did something different from what most people do (I think), maybe this can help somebody. I installed Doom2 into D:\Games\Doom I installed Doom2 95 into D:\Games\Doom I installed Ultimate Doom into D:\Games\Doom\Doom_se I installed TNT into D:\Games\Doom\TNT I installed Plutonia into D:\Games\Doom\Plutonia I put all the source ports right into D:\Games\Doom Since you can easily set them up to use iwads wherever they may be I have all the originals installed and all the ports still have full access. One Doom folder, all the games are inside nice and neat. Well, you just can't install them all into one folder anyway. The original dos games each need their own folder. 0 Share this post Link to post

KING ELVIS Posted May 20, 2001 I use a dir named d:\kingdoom... ..kingdoom\prboom ..kingdoom\zdoom ..kingdoom\legacy put all my frontends into their port dirs all the PWAD's into ..kingdoom\pwads a central list database for the WAD-lists into ..kingdoom\listdb So this runs perfect ! 0 Share this post Link to post
