Death666 Posted September 2, 2003 Legacy supports very few demos so i came here and read a bunch of people can run demos easy on prboom.I got pro boom and read the whole faq about demos and dont have any idea how i am supposed to start the demos. Any step by step walkthroughs would be appreciated. 0 Share this post Link to post
Amaster Posted September 2, 2003 all you need is a few command line arguments, as folliows: prboom.exe -iwad doom2.wad -playdemo demo.lmp Of course, you would have to change the filenames according to what you're using. The easiest way (to me) to use command line arguments is to create a shortcut icon which points to prboom. Then edit the program options. 0 Share this post Link to post
Death666 Posted September 2, 2003 thats the whole problem i have NO idea how you get command lines.Heck even my messages don't show up in proboom when i type "t" to type messages during the game. #1 thing i have no idea how to get to is THE COMMAND LINE. thanks for a quick response though. edit: I know what to type once i reach the command line that i cannot find.I have win XP pro if that makes a difference. 0 Share this post Link to post
Grazza Posted September 2, 2003 Two ways to get a command line: 1) Start - Run. 2) Start - Accessories - Command Prompt. They look different, but are much the same thing. Note that you'll need to give the path for the executable, e.g.: c:\doom2\prboom.exe -playdemo 30uv1617 BTW, if your card has reasonable OpenGL support, glboom.exe will probably run more smoothly than prboom.exe. 0 Share this post Link to post
Amaster Posted September 2, 2003 Oh. Well, to use the shortcut method in xp you would -right-click on the shortcut icon -select properties from the context menu -a big dialogue box will appear. Switch to the tab marked "Shortcut" -There will be a box labeled "Target". This will contain the path to the actual exe file. You can add the args right after the path (after the quotes) -Watch your demos :) 0 Share this post Link to post
