Pwads are not installed or anything.

What you do is simply type (in a dos prompt or use a .bat file):

Doom2 -file marswar.wad

I'm still probably a retard I kinda still don't understand. I know Ur gonna get annoyed or something. I'm just not used to editing and stuff like this to install mods. Sorry....

If you're using a command line (recommended) to launch Doom, then you just need to add "-file marswar.wad" to it.

If, for the sake of argument, you are using Legacy as your source port, all the relevent files are in c:\doom2 and you are using Windows 95/98/2k/XP, then click on "Start", and then "Run...". Type in...
c:\doom2\legacy -file marswar.wad
...and it should start.

If you're using a different port (or the original exe), then replace "legacy" with its name (e.g. doom2, prboom, zdoom, eternity, etc.).

I would like to recomend that you download and use zdoom.

It is much smoother and easier to use, complete with many options and display mode settings.
