If it's choco doom, you may need -merge instead.

What does "Custom Command Line" tell you?

-merge is not a command for ZDoom, nor is it needed. Merge is a chocolate doom thing standing in place for DeuTex.

In general I make shortcuts but command lines use the same rules. If you're using a source port it would be

 

[SourcePortExecutable].exe -IWAD [IWADName].WAD -file [PWADName].wad -[any command line parameters]

 

If you want to load multiple files, you can just put the different file names after one another.

Make sure file names have no spaces in them, or it'll recognize them as 2 file names.

A list of command line parameters can be found here: https://doomwiki.org/wiki/Parameter.

Complevel is an important one for certain source ports, in order for maps to work.

 

A few examples:

 

dsda-doom.exe -IWAD DOOM2.WAD -file btsx_e1a.wad btsx_e1b.wad -complevel 2

gzdoom.exe -IWAD DOOM2.WAD -file mapwich2_v0.9a.pk3 fullscrn_huds.pk3

 

For shortcuts rather than command lines, these lines go in the Target box in the shortcut's Properties, with the executable's full location in stead of just [SourcePortExecutable].exe.
