Edward850 Posted August 9, 2009 Tiberius said:first of all....can any1 tell me how 2 play another persons wad on my game of DOOM Download the persons wad, and load it in your source port of choice. Not all source-ports work the same way, but any that are zdoom based will allow you to just drag 'n drop the wad file over the application to run it. Tiberius said:2nd, how do you download DOOM builder 2? By... clicking the download link? Your question is far to vague. 0 Share this post Link to post
Tiberius Posted August 9, 2009 uhhh....Ive herd good things about the (in)famous(?) hockey.wad...but i cant play it on zdoom 0 Share this post Link to post
stickguy5000 Posted August 9, 2009 What version of zdoom are you using. Also you can always try to run it in skulltag, that sometimes will run things that zdoom won't. 0 Share this post Link to post
DuckReconMajor Posted August 9, 2009 Make sure you try both Doom and Doom 2. It works fine for me in ZDoom. Edit: forgot to add, it's doom 2. make sure you're using that. 0 Share this post Link to post

Tiberius Posted August 9, 2009 uh....I can figur out how 2 do that....I try 2 drag it but that circle with a line thru it appear.....& wen i try & wen I drag the icon it only pulls up zdoom 0 Share this post Link to post
40oz Posted August 9, 2009 You drag the wad over the zdoom icon, not the zdoom icon over the wad. And you should also check the wad's .txt file to see the wad's intended source port, and if the wad is made for a specific map other than MAP01, then you'll need to cheat to get to that level. How did you manage to successfully sign up to this forum but not be able to load a PWAD? 0 Share this post Link to post

DuckReconMajor Posted August 9, 2009 Make sure you're actually starting the game. hockey.wad doesn't change the title screen, so you won't know it loaded until you start the game. 0 Share this post Link to post

Jodwin Posted August 9, 2009 1. Download hockey.zip and save it to the folder you have Doom installed in. 2. Go to your Doom folder and extract the hockey.zip. 3. Drag hockey.wad to the ZDoom icon. 0 Share this post Link to post
DuckReconMajor Posted August 9, 2009 Here you go kid, I sincerely hope you can do this: Find your hockey.wad Right Click -> Open With -> Browse -> find Zdoom and select it. 0 Share this post Link to post
EarthQuake Posted August 10, 2009 The patience of a typical Doomworlder has sky-rocketed in the past couple years. I must say I'm impressed. 0 Share this post Link to post

(example: chocolate-doom -iwad ..\doom2.wad -file ..\wads\requiem.wad ..\wads\reqmus.wad ) and press ENTER If you're using vanilla Doom: - run DOSBox (or download it if you lack it) - type mount d d:\ or mount c c:\ or anything, depending where you installed Doom. - type d: or c: on same condition as above. - go to the Doom folder (example : cd doom) - run Doom with the PWADs (example: doom -file wads\dodead.wad) Sorry to be this verbose, but I feel you asked a very basic question. 0 Share this post Link to post
Jodwin Posted August 10, 2009 printz said:If you're a Windows user: read the Doom FAQ or the Doom readme file! The WAD loading method was known since Doom was created. Load the Command Prompt, go to the Doom folder, and say... That's all nice and fine, but if dragging and dropping is too complicated for our friend here, the command line would probably give him nightmares. :P 0 Share this post Link to post
