Playing doom in doom 2 ( kinda )

[Shrekmeister]

to do that you have to go to zdl and add doom.wad and doom2.wad as the external file  after that add doom as the iwad and after that enjoy the game :) also it works in any source port

Thank you sir. I won't ask any questions.

[The BMFG]

mhm yeah im getting everything your saying bud 

[Wavy]

What's the point of this exactly? In normal gameplay the only thing that'll be changed are the skies, as the maps from Doom 1 don't have any Doom 2 specific map objects.

[Sneezy McGlassFace]

Too bad you'd have to edit the maps to get doom 2 weapons and enemies

[thiccyosh]

Hell yeah now I can play E1M1 with D_RUNNIN in the background!

 

You're such a kind soul for letting us know!

Actually it doesn't, you get hall of mirrors all over the place in dsda-doom, and I assume other conservative source ports as well.

Loading doom.wad as a PWAD immediately after loading it as an IWAD is entirely redundant. Loading doom2.wad doesn't do much either, aside from allowing you to play with the SSG in source ports that allow you to give yourself one, and creating texture problems in other source ports.

Attaching ZDL to your post is also redundant because nothing about what you just did is specific to ZDL. At least you didn't attach the IWADs with it.

I guess loading an IWAD as a PWAD like any other WAD is a novel concept to you, but I think you ought to take a minute to understand what you're doing before hitting that "Start new topic" button, lest you be met with confused reactions like those above wondering what you did and what the point of it is.

Literally the only reason I downloaded the attachment, I just knew I was finally going to get my hands on some IWADS!

I heard they cancelled it for some reason, but that's fine cause I heard they were porting Mario Paint to PC

Hey @DENTYZ,

As @Shepardus says this approach does not work well in general and provides little advantage. Maybe in Lzdoom it allows you the SSG or a different sky but in many it just breaks them. If this works for you that is great.

 

The process of using a WAD (pWAD) to patch details onto to one of the existing game WADs (iWADs) is fundamental to how most of us play Doom – there is no novelty there – though if you are new to Doom there is some figuring out needed. As said, patching a WAD onto itself achieves nothing and although ZDL is great at providing a visual interface for launching Doom it does nothing magic under the hood, i.e., it is the same as typing the commands in by hand or using other launchers.

 

Having said this I like it when people find things that they like and take the time to share them with others, so thanks for sharing!

seems pretty epic, I wonder how the ultimate doom would play out if the levels had doom 2 monsters, for instance if mt erebus had mancubus

maybe initiate a community project around converting Ultimate Doom levels into Doom II levels? or is that frowned upon?

There have plenty plenty of remakes with this concept in mind. If you're doing something like this, the map cannot just consist of the original architecture, it needs to be  an original creation for legality's sake.

Not everyone is superrebel445. Some poeple care more about legality than others.

I saw it running on a Mac. Seems the game does a lot with shadows.

 

Given the nature, Doom 3 is likely a PC-only release - No console ought to run that well.

I mean it should totally be fine to plagiarize someone's work. Or name.

I am now IcarusOfDaggers and ill kindly take the computer you wrote that post on, please.

[Dexiaz]

You won't believe me, guys, but I've found a way to play Doom in Plutonia!

 

 

 

 

[BBQgiraffe]

using doom.wad with doom2.wad as a patch in Neapolitan Doom makes your textures funky and crashes on most levels

[Frost-Core]

Alternative method is to use D2ID :

Let me know how it works out! :)

Thing is, you already did, just by quoting me. /s

 

You can take the computer, the problem is, do you really want a computer ridden of malware? You'd have to wipe the HDD anyway, thus, making that point mute.

Actually, that malware would be interesting to dissect as it has been intelligent enough that it made a DoomWorld account and used your typing hands as its output.

If that malware is so triggering to get another response, I would be indeed intrested in it's autopsy results. Maybe thrown in mass spec, to make sure it isn't one of those UAC worms roaming around making our reality theirs.
