zed044 Posted February 21, 2002 yea it said this cannont be loaded...zdoom didnt have any immediate errors, but when i loaded up my .wad it locked up...actually it just locks up after like 2 mins...ALSO i did d.l. the real zdoom + the zdoomDOS and ran zdoomDOS in DOS.... Is this because of zvox.cfg or because of somthing else? PS. i used WINDEU to make my .wad and thats what i had zdoom load (zdoomdos on my old comp)...i bought doom when if first came out and just got back into it =) 0 Share this post Link to post
fodders Posted February 21, 2002 The DOS version does not support MUS/MIDI or joystick. "vox" is a sound reference I think=as it says, it does not support mus/midi so you get an error, probable if you have a file called zvox.wad in your zdoom directory, zdoom will load it automatically. AFAIK, and judging by the name, it is intended for use as a voices wad. There is a minor problem with this that Randy is aware of. He explained that Doom2.wad contains a bizarre lowercase y font character that looks like an "I". Randy got round zdoom using this character by making zdoom ignore the extra y character if doom2.wad was the second wad loaded (which it is, after zdoom.wad on normal startup). If you use a zvox.wad, Doom2.wad becomes the 3rd wad loaded and messages using the small fonts start to look odd. Eg you get asked about Displai options, or asked to hit I or N to quit. 0 Share this post Link to post

Zeratul 982 Posted February 21, 2002 How can you play online if you dont know anyone's comp internet address anways????? i've never tried multiplayer... If you got a 56k, don't. Multiplayer Doom just about requires a high-speed connection (DSL, Cable, T1, etc.). 0 Share this post Link to post
