D4NUK1 Posted May 23, 2019 So, for my work as on this weeks im working with ubuntu 18.04 and need to know if there a simple way to get launchers or wads to play. I'm already installed 2 source ports, and can play the DOOM2.wad, but need to configure to runs multiple wads. Thanks for any help! 0 Share this post Link to post
Rathori Posted May 23, 2019 (edited) Here's the way I do it. Add to your .bashrc file: export DOOMWADDIR="path-to-wad-directory" for example, for mine I have export DOOMWADDIR="/home/rathori/games/doom/wads" I know for a fact that prboom-plus and GZDoom support this environment variable, so you can just run any wad like this from any directory, no matter where the source ports are actually installed (provided the source port executables are in your PATH env variable): gzdoom -file xa-dwire.wad And I'm pretty sure almost every other source port also supports DOOMWADDIR. Heck, you can even use it on macOS and Windows. Obviously, put all your WADs (including IWADs) into that directory :P Another nice bonus is that you don't need to keep copies of your WADs for each source port you use, they'll all use the wads in this directory automatically.

chowbar Posted May 23, 2019 Lcferrum on the ZDoom forums forked an updated version of ZDL which is also Linux compatible. Here's the github: https://github.com/lcferrum/qzdl/releases And here's the thread although the updated ZDL is on the last few pages: https://forum.zdoom.org/viewtopic.php?f=44&t=32596 1 Share this post Link to post
