williej Posted January 25, 2017 I just purchased ultimate doom and am using it with the Risen3D port, which states on their website it can use the doom wad from ultimate doom. I can play the standard doom maps, but if I try to play a downloaded third party map that is present in the "installed games" window, I get this error that the doom wad cannot be found http://i.imgur.com/2mwd7Qf.jpg In the window "doom games" here it is http://i.imgur.com/apme0dO.jpg This happened with a number of maps downloaded from the Risen3d webpage. I am new to doom ports, so can someone tell me how to run third party maps with Risen3d? 0 Share this post Link to post
Bloodshedder Posted January 25, 2017 Your screenshot shows that you are trying to play a third-party Doom 2 map. You'll want to purchase Doom 2 if you would like to play ~80% of all the third-party maps out there. Otherwise, restrict yourself to Doom 1-only stuff: https://www.doomworld.com/idgames/levels/doom/ 0 Share this post Link to post
VGA Posted January 25, 2017 Yeah, Willie, Doom 2 has a new weapon and several new enemies so most user-created projects require the IWAD from that game. There are still tons of maps you can play but you have to make sure they are for the original Doom or for Ultimate Doom before getting them. Of course even better is to buy Doom 2 on steam and get the IWAD file from its folder. 0 Share this post Link to post
