Katamori Posted December 10, 2011 I use GZDoom to run WADs for 3 years at least. I always start the WADs with clicking the .WAD file in the directory and then I drag them and drop to the gzdoom.exe file. However, my collection of WADs became enormous, and I have to scroll a lot. I hate it, I don't want to continue that permanent drag&drop sh*t. What else can I do to start the WADs without scrolling and dragging? 0 Share this post Link to post
killer2 Posted December 10, 2011 There's a really nifty tool that makes loading multiple wads a lot easier. It's called ZDL. 0 Share this post Link to post
Katamori Posted December 10, 2011 Thank you very much! It's a bit uncomfortable, but even better than drag & drop way was. 0 Share this post Link to post
Gez Posted December 10, 2011 There's a ton of methods listed here. I use "Send to" myself. 0 Share this post Link to post

soner du Posted December 13, 2011 Ah ? They're not listing my method : editing the zdoom-(user).ini file. I just edit the *.Autoload parameters, adding the PWADS I want to play. 0 Share this post Link to post
printz Posted December 13, 2011 I just use the Run command from the Start menu, where I say things like "C:\Heretic\GZDoom.exe -iwad \doom_se\doom -file \doom_se\2002ado lights.pk3 brightmaps.pk3". Sweet thing is that the command line is remembered next time you run Run. 0 Share this post Link to post
Maes Posted December 13, 2011 *sigh* It's about time that a definitive answer to the "HELP! HOW DO I PLAY PWADS???" topic is compiled (there were several decent ones made in the past) and stickied, and any new such threads get closed and redirected there with a "RTFM" remark and nothing more. And I said that knowing how "helpful" the other stickies/FAQs turned out, but just for the heck of it, dammit. 0 Share this post Link to post
DuckReconMajor Posted December 13, 2011 If you're using Vista or 7, Shift + right click in a folder in Explorer gives an option "Open command window here". Then type zd and tab until you get zdoom.exe then type -file and start typing wad names and tabbing for each wad you want to load. edit: apparently it's listed in the article gez listed i don't remember it being there before 0 Share this post Link to post
Gez Posted December 13, 2011 Also, the "-file" thing is totally obsolete with ZDoom. The command "zdoom toto.wad" will work just as well as "zdoom -file toto.wad". 0 Share this post Link to post
DuckReconMajor Posted December 13, 2011 u right. That's why drag and drop works with it right? Speaking of -file, was it a Doom specific parameter or was it a general thing back in the DOS days? 0 Share this post Link to post
PRIMEVAL Posted December 13, 2011 All WAD files for me are set to open with GZDoom (most used source port for me) so I just double click them and GZDoom opens. 0 Share this post Link to post

DuckReconMajor said:Speaking of -file, was it a Doom specific parameter or was it a general thing back in the DOS days? Yes and no? There was no real standard, but it was generally assumed that you needed to use special tokens to introduce parameters to make it easier to parse the parameters. -file is a Unix-type parameter, though. DOS conventions would have been something like /FILE instead. 0 Share this post Link to post
