Game Data
|
|
---------
|
|
gzdoom is only a game engine. To actually play the game, you'll need the
|
|
game data (IWAD file) from one or more of the supported games. These
|
|
include Doom, Ultimate Doom, Final Doom, FreeDoom, Heretic, Hexen,
|
|
and Strife. Place the .wad file(s) in /usr/share/games/doom.
|
|
|
|
If you don't own any of the supported games, you can install one or more
|
|
of these slackbuilds.org packages to get a playable game:
|
|
|
|
- freedoom
|
|
- doom_shareware_data
|
|
- heretic_shareware_data
|
|
- hexen_demo_data
|
|
- chexquest3
|
|

Music Support
|
|
-------------
|
|
To hear the in-game music, there are several options. In the game menu,
|
|
select "Options | Sound Options" and set "MIDI Device" to one of the
|
|
below:
|
|
|
|
1. FluidSynth - Install fluidsynth and fluid-soundfont. These are runtime
|
|
dependencies (no need to rebuild gzdoom).
|
|
|
|
2. Timidity - Install TiMidity++ and either eawpats or freepats (all
|
|
runtime dependencies), and set up /etc/timidity/timidity.cfg to use
|
|
it. This uses more CPU than FluidSynth, and may make the framerate
|
|
stutter and jerk even on high-end systems.
|
|
|
|
3. GUS or OPL - Nothing extra required; these are software emulations
|
|
of classic soundcards from the early 1990s. They may sound "clunky" to
|
|
modern ears, but they may also bring back fond memories for long-time
|
|
Doom players.
|
|
|
|
gzdoom also supports WildMIDI, but this is currently not available on SBo.
