freedoom (Free Software replacement for Doom/Doom2 game data)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The Freedoom project aims to create a complete Doom-based game which is
|
|
|
|
|
Free Software. Combined with a free source port, people will also be
|
|
|
|
|
able to play the back catalog of extensions made to Doom by hobbyists
|
|
|
|
|
over the last 15 years.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Freedoom requires a Doom engine to play, such as zdoom (available from
|
|
|
|
|
slackbuilds.org). It does NOT require the original Doom or Doom II IWAD
|
|
|
|
|
files, since it is a replacement for them.

|
This package installs 3 wad files in /usr/share/games/doom:
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
freedoom1.wad - Replacement IWAD for Doom I and Ultimate Doom.
|
|
|
|
|
freedoom2.wad - Replacement IWAD for Doom II and Final Doom.
|
|
|
|
|
freedm.wad - Standalone deathmatch-only level pack.

|
To use these data files with zdoom, simply build and install this package.

|
|
|
You will be prompted for which IWAD file to use (which game to play)
|
|
|
|
|
when starting zdoom. Other Doom source ports may do the same, or may
|
|
|
|
|
require a command-line option to set the IWAD file. Some engines may
|
|
|
|
|
require symlinking "freedoom2.wad" to "doom2.wad" and "freedoom1.wad"
|
|
|
|
|
to "doom.wad".
