ZDoom and WADS

[Lengis]

How do i get ZDoom to run wads????

[boris]

The same way as it workes with old DooM:
zdoom -file yourwadfile.wad [yourwadfile2.wad] [...]

[Lengis]

But I use windows, is there anyway to do it through the console?

[boris]

Use the DOS box or Start -> Run...

BTW, DOS BOX FOREVER!!! :)

Why not just make a batch file?

Go to notepad and type: (This is an example of my file...ok)
zdoom -file c:\doom2\mywad.wad

Then, save it as a text file.
Then, put it in your Doom directory.
Then, rename it as a .bat file.

Simple as that :) You just click on the batch file and it'll run it. Or you can make a shortcut out of it and drag it to your desktop.

And when you've got 300+ WADs you've got 300+ .BATs...

This just doesn't work in windows. I tried makeing a .bat file, but it doesn't work in windows. How can I run wads in windows????

[Lengis]

Nevermind, I got it to work now. Thanx for help. :)

Tarin, not if you "edit" the "one" batch file!!!!!

Yeah, the best thing is to make a batch file for each iwad, each leading to a different response file (or the same one), making this file openable with notepad...

yah dos is the best, hey and btw, use what is called a FRONT END or a LAUNCHER. it makes it much better.but i cant still figure out how to load a wad and a deh file at the same time in dos

Hehehe.. 300 wads.. i doubt youd have that many anyway- u guys crack me up. Aaaanyway- you can make a multiple choice batch (.bat) file by putting something like
edit the bat file-
@echo Please select wad file
@echo 1. mywad1.wad
@echo 2. mywad2.wad
@echo 3. mywad3.wad
@choice 123
if errorlevel 1 goto mywad1
if errorlevel 2 goto mywad2
if errorlevel 3 goto mywad3
:mywad1
c:\doom\zdoom.exe -mywad1.wad
goto end
:mywad2
c:\doom\zdoom.exe mywad2.wad
goto end
:mywad3
c:\doom\zdoom.exe mywad3.wad
goto end
:end
cls

and thats it. i aint explaining what all that crap means.. but i think youre all smart enough to get it. email me if u have ne questions (barzin_l@hotmail.com)
