Professor Giovani Posted April 27, 2008 First allow me to say hello all. Nice to meet ya'll. My problem is recently I downloaded Knee Deep in Zdoom, but for some reason I can't get it to work. Does anyone have any idea why I'm runing into this problem? 0 Share this post Link to post
Kira Posted April 27, 2008 Do you use ZDoom/GZDoom and Doom.wad as Iwad ? (it works with doom2.wad but with missing textures I believe) Btw this thread should be in the 'Wads & Mods' section :P 0 Share this post Link to post
Professor Giovani Posted April 27, 2008 Yeah, I realized I misposted about two seconds after I originally posted. Is there a way a mod can move the op please? And to answer your question yes I do run Zdoom now (after Doom 95 mysteriously stoped working on me). So I don't know much about Zdoom. The file I downloaded both from here and the semi-official site its from was devoid of anything that had a wad extension. Instead there was something with a pk extension. 0 Share this post Link to post
Megaz Posted April 27, 2008 KDiZD has a .pk3 extension, and should be treated no differently. Just run it as you would a .wad. 0 Share this post Link to post
Professor Giovani Posted April 27, 2008 But how do I do that? like I stated, I'm not really famiallar with zdoom. I tried do it as if Iwas running a wad off ofregular doom (the -kdizd.pk3 on the run command) but that didn't work. 0 Share this post Link to post
Ninja_of_DooM Posted April 27, 2008 All you have to do is drag and drop the file onto the ZDoom.exe and it should start for you. :) 0 Share this post Link to post
GreyGhost Posted April 27, 2008 The command line parameter -file kdizd.pk3 shoud do the trick. 0 Share this post Link to post
Professor Giovani Posted April 27, 2008 Thanks for your help, I would never had thougt of draging the file to the app. Just on other thing... how do I change the controls? 0 Share this post Link to post
Megaz Posted April 27, 2008 Through options in the main menu, go to 'Customize Controls' 0 Share this post Link to post
Professor Giovani Posted April 27, 2008 Thanks again for your helpfulness, and your patience!^^ 0 Share this post Link to post
Megaz Posted April 27, 2008 No problem, everyone needs help at some point. 0 Share this post Link to post
esselfortium Posted April 27, 2008 And be sure to play it with Ultimate Doom, not Doom 2, unless you want to see missing textures all over the place. :P 0 Share this post Link to post
Professor Giovani Posted April 27, 2008 All I have is the vanilla version, notultimate. And Doom2 is in a totally seperate folder. This wad seems vey good so far, but I was wondering two things... are there any music files that replace the original music with some rearranged versions? And is anyone working on something simiallar to kdizd for the other episodes in Doom? 0 Share this post Link to post
Kira Posted April 27, 2008 Read Esselfortium's signature :P But about true sequals, I dunno if it's planned 0 Share this post Link to post

I find the tracks from Kinkiness (which are nicely done techno/ambient versions) fit them quite well, though. 0 Share this post Link to post

Graf Zahl Posted April 30, 2008 The Doom patches can be a real pain because they check the exact date of every file and start to complain if something isn't right or missing and abott the entire patching process if even a single byte doesn't match. Even a missing readme.txt causes them to abort. I still can remember that I was unable to patch my Doom v1.1 because the EXE's date of the installation was off by an hour. I don't remember how I found out how to correct this but it meant that I was unable to upgrade to later versions for a very long time. 0 Share this post Link to post
LogicDeLuxe Posted April 30, 2008 Sure, it is the best thing to do against piracy to make sure everything is in order to the last detail. You could copy the files from your original media anytime, unless they are broken.Graf Zahl said:I still can remember that I was unable to patch my Doom v1.1 because the EXE's date of the installation was off by an hour.I didn't experienced this with Doom, though I spotted two different CD's of another game, and I was quite surprised when I noticed that all files on those CD's were identical, except for a one hour difference in every single file. So, I suppose this can happen indeed. I wonder this is possible how? If it's only the EXE file, you could download the shareware version, which usually uses the same. If you only need to patch the WAD file, there is a command line to the patching tool for ignoring missing files. This feature might be disabled, though. I didn't check.Professor Giovani said:I wasn't looking spefically for music fitting kdizd, but thanks for the suggestion.

Professor Giovani Posted May 5, 2008 Played the mod all the way through. Very good, not easy at all (I wish they'd hire these people for new games). Good level designs,and they aren't obvious. One or two minnor things. Weapon placement made life alittle difficult early on in the mod, and I didn't particularly care for the grenade launcher or the riffle thing that replaced the BFG. 0 Share this post Link to post
Creaphis Posted May 5, 2008 Yeah, the grenade launcher in Skulltag has much better physics. I liked the rifle though - the BFG would be out of place in an episode 1 remake anyway. 0 Share this post Link to post

Graf Zahl Posted May 5, 2008 Never knew about that. It would have saved me a lot of trouble a few years ago. Of course now it's too late because I don't need to run the patcher anymore... ;) 0 Share this post Link to post

I didn't check if this is the case for the Doom upgrades, though. I don't think that it defeats the restriction to the official Doom 2 v1.666 as the official EXE is freely available anyways. 0 Share this post Link to post
