NBv4 Posted December 27, 2001 I'm trying to re-organize my Doom folder. This is how I'm situated: C: -Doom --jDoom --Legacy --WAD In the WAD directory I have all my wad files (such as av.wad, doom.wad, doom2.wad, tnt.wad etc...). What I want to do is have each port share the WADs so I don't have to have them saved more than once in diffrent directories. Under the Doom menu in the start menue, I have shortcuts to certain batch files I made for each episode/port combo. I am having trouble with the WAD file sharing thing, because it seems that Legacy is not wanting to run unless the WAD in in the same directory. Is there any way to fix this? My batch files look something like this: legacy.exe -opengl -file C:\Doom\WAD\av.wad It won't run this way because it keeps saying the WAD can't be found. Cound someone help me straighten this out? 0 Share this post Link to post

NBv4 Posted December 27, 2001 Ok, when I put: legacy.exe -IWAD c:\doom\WAD\doom.wad into a batch file, it gives me the error: "C:\Doom\legacy/C:\Doom\WAD\DOOM.WAD not found" I am not very good with MS-DOS, so I think the problem might be in the way I'm setting up the batch file. 0 Share this post Link to post
nxn Posted December 27, 2001 you have a specified "start-in" folder, that's why the "C:\Doom\legacy" is added to the location of the Doom.wad. Try getting rid of the "C:\doom\legacy\" that's in the "start-in", althought that might cause another file to be misplaced. 0 Share this post Link to post
læmænt Posted December 27, 2001 export alias z="zdoom -file" ... cd wad/dir/of/choice z some.wad At least that's how it's done in bash. But I'm sure there's a similar way in DOS? 0 Share this post Link to post
Kid Airbag Posted December 27, 2001 I just throw everything in one big directory, called Doom2. 0 Share this post Link to post

bond Posted December 28, 2001 Try to set DOOMWADDIR environment variable - in autoexec.bat add such string: SET DOOMWADDIR=C:\DOOM\WAD It works with (near) all ports. But original doom1/2 dont understand it, so if you want to use them, better move IWAD files to the same folder where EXEs are 0 Share this post Link to post

magikal Posted December 29, 2001 Yup I've always had the same problem with Legacy so I keep all the wads in the Legacy file and set the paths to the other ports. 0 Share this post Link to post

Rancid-Radio Posted December 29, 2001 its quite easy acutally. you see you're is a contraction of the 2 words "you" and "are". the apostraphe takes the place of the missing letters, whereas your is a single word seeing as it has no apostraphe. the wonderfull english language is full of things of this sort which is why it is one of the more facinating languages. for more information contact james at b12345678dog@hotmail.com or cosult your local library, tell em james sent you :) 0 Share this post Link to post

fraggle Posted December 29, 2001 Its quite easy (COMMA) actually. You see(COMMA) (QUOTE)you're(UNQUOTE) is a contraction of the two words "you" and "are". The apostrophe takes the place of the missing letters, whereas (QUOTE)your(UNQUOTE) is a single word(COMMA) seeing as it has no apostrophe.
