Can't open The Ultimate DOOM in gzdoombuilder in Gzdoom mode

Recommended Posts

When I use gzdoombuilder there is no "GZdoom: Doom" in the game configuration like there is for doom 2. Thus I can not use GZdoom features such as dynamic lights in my level. Any help?

I think the reason you can't see "GZDooM: DooM (in *** Format)" is because you haven't defined it in the "Game Configurations" tab in the Tool menu.

 

Click on Tools then click on Game Configurations then on the left will be a list of X: X (in X format) . To the left of them should be a box, some with a tick and some without. Simply tick the boxes you need.

 

Hope this helps you :3

Strangely enough, GZDB don't have such configs for Doom 1, so you have to add new configs based on Doom 2 but without mentioning Doom 2 things (GZDoom_DoomDoom.cfg and ZDoom_things.cfg). They are in the "configurations" and "includes" folders of GZDB.

I thought that too, but "GZDooM: DooM (in *** Format)" isn't an option at all.  I guess you just have to use Doom 2 but stick in the Doom IWAD instead.

I created a file called "GZDoom_UDoomUDMF.cfg" in GzDoomBuilder\Configurations, basing it off the DoomUDMF file and then including the following:
 

// This is required to prevent accidental use of a different configuration
type = "Doom Builder 2 Game Configuration";

// This is the title to show for this game
game = "GZDoom: Ultimate Doom (UDMF)";

// This is the simplified game engine/sourceport name
engine = "gzdoom";

// Should this configuration be initially available?
enabledbydefault = true;

defaultskytextures
{
	SKY1 = "E1M1,E1M2,E1M3,E1M4,E1M5,E1M6,E1M7,E1M8,E1M9";
	SKY2 = "E2M1,E2M2,E2M3,E2M4,E2M5,E2M6,E2M7,E2M8,E2M9";
	SKY3 = "E3M1,E3M2,E3M3,E3M4,E3M5,E3M6,E3M7,E3M8,E3M9";
	SKY4 = "E4M1,E4M2,E4M3,E4M4,E4M5,E4M6,E4M7,E4M8,E4M9";
}

thingtypes
{
	// Basic game actors
	include("Includes\\Doom_things.cfg");
	// include("Includes\\Doom2_things.cfg");
	// Additional ZDoom actors for that game
	include("Includes\\ZDoom_things.cfg", "doom");
	// Standard ZDoom actors
	include("Includes\\ZDoom_things.cfg", "zdoom");
	// Additional actors from the engine
	include("Includes\\GZDoom_things.cfg", "gzdoom");
	include("Includes\\GZDoom_things.cfg", "gzdoom_lights");
}

I then created a Doom_things.cfg file with just the Ultimate Doom things in, but you can also use the default and just not include anything from Doom 2, in which case you'll get a few errors in GZDoom Builder saying that Doom 2 things were not found, but it will still run.
