Guest MIND Posted June 9, 2017 I'm new to editing and WAD's so spare me here, but how do you play the WAD's that other people have made? Thanks. 0 Share this post Link to post
DMPhobos Posted June 9, 2017 You can play them by dragin the wad files and dropping them on the source port executable, or you can also use a launcher such as ZDL to manage all your wads and source ports 0 Share this post Link to post
Guest MIND Posted June 13, 2017 Is there a video tutorial for this or something? 0 Share this post Link to post
NaturalTvventy Posted June 13, 2017 (edited) There's always the good ol' command line -file example with two wads: C:\PRBoomPlus>prboom-plus -file neis.wad end_snd.wad see: http://doomwiki.org/wiki/Parameter 0 Share this post Link to post
Albertoni Posted June 14, 2017 You can also get this organizer thing called ZDL. I don't like it, but some people swear by it. 1 Share this post Link to post
Blastfrog Posted June 14, 2017 I just create batch files with the command line parameters when I'll be loading a certain WAD or set of WADs. Otherwise, I tend to use the command line. I used to use ZDL on the regular years ago, but I don't really find it as useful as the way I do things now. Dragging and dropping is just lame, you still have to specify the IWAD (unless you disabled that menu from showing up), and you can't directly control the order that multiple files are loaded in AFAIK. 0 Share this post Link to post
Maisth Posted June 14, 2017 Using ZDL for Various WADS in 1 is pretty usefull 2 Share this post Link to post

Don't remember the exact algorithm, but it's related to the order that you ctrl+click on files. For shift+click, it's something incredibly unintuitive and made the easiest way for a programmer to code it though. Then of course some program by a big enough company started to depend on that weird shift+click behaviour and they never were able to change it to something sane. 0 Share this post Link to post
Doomkid Posted June 14, 2017 With Zandronum you literally just select multiple wads by holding ctrl, copy them, then paste them on the exe. Loading any combos of wads, deh files, pk3s etc is a total cinch. 0 Share this post Link to post
Empyre Posted June 14, 2017 With Zandronum, I use DoomSeeker to start games, either single-player or a server. 0 Share this post Link to post
