Problems with Woof

[Nights]

So I just recently picked up the Woof source port, and I gotta say after only using it for a short time, I love it. But besides that:

Earlier I was trying to launch NRFTL through the command line, and I kept getting this error. But whenever I did a simple drag and drop, it worked just fine.

 

Any ideas what the problem could be?

Could you show us how you were launching it via the command line?

It looks like you are trying to launch NERVE.WAD with Doom 1 iwad.

This what I have. This is my first time actually using the command line, so forgive me if the problem is obvious

Change -iwad to -file:

woof.exe -file nerve.wad

If you have DOOM2.WAD in the same DIR or any path you set then that's fine.  Otherwise you should specify the doom2 iwad then the file.

Nerve.wad is a PWAD.  It is only level maps, and modified monsters.

It requires a specific IWAD, which has all the textures and the basic monsters.

Guessing:  Nerve.wad requires doom2.wad.

Guessing: Woof loads doom2.wad as the IWAD, by default.

 

Otherwise: you would have to fully specify the IWAD and PWAD as follows

>> woof  -iwad doom2.wad  -file nerve.wad

>> woof  -iwad freedoom.wad  -file nerve.wad

>> woof  -iwad doom1.wad  -file  /games/doomwads/tormuse.wad

# gothictx is a support wad
# camelot is a doom2 PWAD but also uses textures from gothictx
>> woof  -iwad doom2.wad  -file  /games/doomwads/gothictx.wad  /games/doomwads/camelot.wad
