guy1667 Posted January 9, 2002 I just got re-interested in Doom when I found a certain mod for Doom 2 (http://doomwads.com:7575/data/z/zombies.txt). Unfortunately, I don't know which Doom 2 version I have, and I can't seem to follow the instructions on that page. Basically I have a lot of Doom 2 files scattered in my WindowsTemp folder. This 'Zombies' mod requires Doom 2 version 1.9, and when I tried to install it, I got an error, probably because I dont have the right version. So... 1.) How do I check my version of Doom 2? 2.) How do I install this mod? Sorry but I need really specific instructions, I'm not good with this kinda stuff. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks. :) 0 Share this post Link to post
danarchist Posted January 9, 2002 I don't know anything about the mod, but the version of Doom should be displayed at the top of the screen when you run it by itself (NOT Doom95 or a source port). 0 Share this post Link to post
pritch Posted January 9, 2002 1) Press F1 in the game, I think... or check the help file. 2) The wad file needs to be in the same directory as Doom. I presume you have the 95 launcher, right? If you've got a mod which needs an enhanced port you'll need something like ZDoom to play. http://zdoom.notgod.com Then drag 'n' drop the wad onto the ZDoom icon. Any good? 0 Share this post Link to post
fodders Posted January 9, 2002 Certain way to check Doom2 version 1.9 is , Doom2.wad has to be 14,604,584 bytes when checked in "properties" 0 Share this post Link to post

guy1667 Posted January 11, 2002 Ok, I've got Doom 2 version 1.9, and I have the mod downloaded. Now where do I unzip it to, and how do I set it up? 0 Share this post Link to post

Crendowing Posted January 11, 2002 2) The wad file needs to be in the same directory as Doom.Actually, no it doesn't. All you need to do is use the -file command line parameter and the rest of the directory if it's not in the exact same folder (e.g., if the WAD was not even the game directory at all then you would type -file c:\doomdata\pwad\doom2\zombies.wad). That was just a folder I used to store my WADs and DEH patches in, so dont' come crying saying that you don't have it on your 'puter. BTW, I know what mod you're talking about. I found it on Bob Larkin's DOOM WAD Station before it was taken down. 0 Share this post Link to post
