Doom mods through GZDoom on launchbox.

[kerszr]

So I found in a previous forum post that you can set up GZDoom through launch-box as a emulator and everything looks super cool. Killing demons shooting waves of the undead-hell-spawn but something is missing. It's just lacking the brutality! So I fiddle and fiddle and fiddle but i can't get Brutal Doom up and running from launch-box. I try backways, frontways sideways and crossing space-time and many a-forum. No dice. So I stand before you, in defeat, ashamed with a BFG in hand, a metal soundtrack in heart, and a teenage nihilistic dissonance only a product of the 90's could have asking, no, pleading! "Oh great Launchbox community, can I get some help on this one?" I can 'play' Brutal Doom, but I can't play it through Launchbox! What a bummer!

Make Doom 2 into Brutal Doom 2 and run it with Launchbox.

You setup GZDoom as an Emulator.

You add the game you want into Launchbox by searching metadata of original game ex: Doom 2 (You can then edit later the title to Brutal Doom 2 and add custom images from internet)

Once done you goto to your GZDoom folder. On the root of the folder you need to have all your files there, not in their own folders.

Make a new text file and call it Brutal Doom 2

@echo off
d:\GZDoom\gzdoom.exe -file DOOM2.WAD brutalv20b.pk3

Change d:\gzdoom\ to the location of your GZDoom folder and change the wad name and pk3 name to your naming convention.

Save this and change txt file into bat with winrar or some other program.

Your end result will be Brutal Doom 2.bat and use this as the ROM file in Launchbox
