KMKeele Posted September 29, 2015 Author Share Posted September 29, 2015 Hello all, Has anyone tried to use LB with ZDoom? I set it up as like i would for a ROM emulator. i use the .WAD files as the ROM. it works great except for HEXDD. My path for ZDoom executable is: C:\LAUNCHBOX\GAMES\EMULATORS\GZDOOM\GZDOOM.EXE I placed the .WAD files in: C:\LAUNCHBOX\GAMES\ZDOOM\HEXDD.WAD I put the DOOM2.WAD and others in the same directory. It work great except for the HEXDD.WAD. As a default command line argument for the "emulator" ZDoom i use "-iwad" I check the box to remove the quotes and in the preview line under manage emulators it reads: gzdoom.exe gzdoom.ini -iwad file If there are any others out there that have tried this and could offer any help I would be grateful.

Jason Carr Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 Hi @KMKeele, I use GZDOOM as well, but I set all my DOOM-based games up with their own copy of GZDOOM. Haven't tried using it like an emulator, but that does make sense. But since GZDOOM is fairly small, I guess you might as well just make it easy and give each different game its own copy.

spycat Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 I also use gzdoom in application mode, as I do for all my Windows games. However, if it works in emulator mode then that's fine too. I'm not sure if this is your problem with Hexen Deathkings. This is an expansion pack for Hexen Beyond Heretic and so it needs the HEXEN wad in gzdoom. If the HEXEN wad is missing then HEXDD won't run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KMKeele Posted September 30, 2015 Author Share Posted September 30, 2015 Thank you scree, I had forgotten to "tell" ZDoom where to look for the base Hexen.wad file. Adding Path=..\..\Games\ZDoom to the [IWADSearch.Directories] section of the gzdoom.ini file fixed the problem. Jason, you are right in that its not a lot of disk space, and more trouble than its worth to troubleshoot separating it out, but to be honest I enjoy tinkering with the way things are setup more than actually playing the games. I suppose the reason for doing it like an emulator is the same reason i have Windows 3.1 running through DOSBox on my tablet. It all comes down to: "Because its there." How does the saying go? "I do because I can; I can because I do.".... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Carr Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 Hehehehehe, I hear you there. That's the same reason I spend more time developing LaunchBox than playing the games, myself. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
