Getting Blashphemer To Work With ZDoom.

[Werge]

Hey everybody, I've recently installed Freedoom, Phases 1 and 2, and it works fine on ZDoom. Although, I downloaded Blashphemer and am having trouble getting it to work. I simply extracted all of the Blasphemer files into my ZDoom directory and it doesn't seem to have any .WAD files for ZDoom to detect. 

 

Help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

ZDoom doesn't have a setting that automatically detected Blasphemer IIRC. If you want to run Blasphemer on ZDoom (and any other limit removing source port), you have to use a command line.

 

1. make a txt file in your ZDoom folder

2. Put this in that txt file: (assuming you have the latest version)

zdoom.exe -iwad blasphem-0.1.7.wad

3. Save it and rename the file extension from txt to 

bat

4. Click the batch file you just created

 

Alternatively, you can navigate through the cmd program on Windows to your ZDoom folder if you know how to do it and put the command line above.

I tried doing this, and the bat file still only opens ZDoom with Blasphemer undetected. Sorry, what else can I do?

Try renaming it to HERETIC.WAD

What do you mean? And couldn't this potentially replace Heretic?

Literally, rename the wad file to HERETIC.WAD

If you have it on the same folder yes.

Alright, which .wad file?

The blasphemer wad. It will trick the engine into believing it's Heretic. 

Spoiler

You can also do it with FreeDoom too by renaming them to DOOM and DOOM2.WAD respectively for ports that don't recoginze it as IWAD

 

[RagnarRandom]

rename it blasphemer.wad instead of blasphem-0.1.7.wad (assuming you have the most recent release of blasphemer)

 

you can have a blasphemer.wad and a heretic.wad in the same folder and zdoom should recognize em both. check your gzdoom-whateveryourossaysyournameis.ini 

there should be a line your ini that says

[blasphemer.Autoload]

 

your blasphemer wad just needs to have the right name for zdoom to autoload it and the github dl has it named as version name.

 

just realized you said zdoom not gzdoom, so i don't know what i said applies or not. i think the only difference is opengl, so it should. not sure why anyone would use zdoom over gzdoom.

From the downloads page of ZDoom.org

GZDoom is the latest version targeting current systems with modern graphics hardware. (Vulkan/OpenGL 4.5 capability recommended, but the minimum requirement for the hardware renderer is OpenGL 3.3, the minimum for the software renderer is Direct3D 9

LZDoom is based on an older version of GZDoom. It does not provide all features currently supported by GZDoom but in turn is capable of running the hardware renderer on older hardware which does not support modern OpenGL features.

Maybe his PC doesn't meet the requirements for either GZ or LZDoom, or simply cuz he likes ZDoom more

I loaded Blasphemer into ZDoom via ZDL. Works fine.
