***NEW TO DOOM OR KNOW SOMEONE WHO IS?***

outside of multiplayer, zdoom-only mods and maps, or very specific zdoom-only graphical options (like ambient occlusion or bloom, though I kinda dislike bloom), there's no reason to play exclusively in zdoom-based ports (zdoom, gzdoom, zandronum, etc.)

if you refuse to switch to prboom+ (or chocolate doom if you wanna go super oldschool) because you think other source ports are like zdoom and take ages to setup, rest assured that is not true at all, most (i'm lookin at you, doom retro) other source ports take like 2 minutes to set up for the first time c:

still too long? well friend here you are indeed: prboom-plus-2.5.1.5-starterpack_v4.zip

essentially, it's a copy of pr/glboom+ 2.5.1.5 that I set up myself to be basically vanilla except for being on -complevel 9 by default.

i added a test wad as well as instructions and a couple .bat files to get you started

the instructions have notes on the configuration and the .bat files

it even has a corrected automap!!! all you have to do is put your iwads in and play!! :D

if you have any questions comments or concerns pls let me know

***HOW TO IMPORT CUSTOM TEXTURES***

in SLADE, look at the top toolbar for an option to set a base resource archive, and set it to doom2.wad (not doom 1).

then create P_START and P_END markers by creating new entries (using the top toolbar) and place all your individual desired textures (such as from the doom 1 texture pack) in between said markers.

next, select all your custom textures and right click them and go graphics->add to pnames. create a new import resource archive and select import from base. then reselect the textures and right click and do graphics->add to texturex. save your wad. all done c:

if you mess up or added the textures to pnames/texturex more than once or whatever, it's easiest and safest to just delete the PNAMES/TEXTUREx lumps and make them again.
