Ultimate Doom Builder configurations

[j0lt]

I recently upgraded from GZDoom Builder to Ultimate Doom Builder, and am having a bit of trouble. Within the GZDoom configuration options I can set up Doom 2, Heretic, Hexen, and Strife, but not Doom. The only options to made Doom maps is under Boom or Doom.

 

I really want to make a GZDoom: Doom (UDMF) map. Does anyone know why that option isn't there?

Use the doom.wad file and name the map E1M1

What? Nono, even before that, setting up the configurations you can use.

 

If I do that in GZDoom: Doom 2 (UDMF) I get a big list of errors as it looks for the missing info that it's expecting from the doom2.wad

Each game needs its own config to start, and there doesn't seem to be one specifically for GZDoom: Doom (UDMF).

The best way is by consulting the Refmanual to find the settings which apply

 

 

and comparing them with how they are used in actual configuration files.

 

Thankfully they are broken up into the format configs and includes to make the process easier.

 

For example:

• GZDoom: Doom 2 (UDMF)

Those are the configs I use, but you may want to rework them a bit.
