Prboom Help


I've tried Aliens TC with no problems(which uses custom graphics, sounds and dehacked patch) and it ran great: I just copied, renamed and edited the prboom.gpe file to do what I wanted.

Here's what i used for aliens TC:

#!/bin/bash
./prboom -iwad doom.wad -file alitcwad.wad -deh alitcp19.deh
sync

cd /usr/gp2x/
./gp2xmenu


You just make a .gpe file for each wad you want to try and run those instead of prboom.gpe. A launcher would be better but this isn't so bad if you've only got a few favorite TCs

Man im gonna give up on this, I tried everything and counter strike wont boot, the intro screen to the doom game comes up but when it starts to go into that demo mode it locks up and throws me back to the gp2x menu screen. Doom games tester (plutonium, doom 2)
 
Can you give me a link to this Counter Strike pwad?

Sometimes the wads aren't compatible with PRBoom (for example if they were made for ZDoom) or sometimes they just need to be tidied up a little or are missing a file. I can check it out here if you let me know where to get it.
 
heres a link to counterstrike doom http://www.dcemu.co.uk/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=26809

now to get all the other wads working is simple using counterstrike doom as a launcher.....in the zip file is 2 files called demon2.WAD and blood2.DEH....if you rename the files in another wad to demon2.WAD and blood2.DEH and replace the ones in counterstrike doom with these , it will run the wad with the wright title screen etc....90% of the wads i tryed , work with this method......zombie doom, blood doom and fist full of doom or the best .......


edit due to spelling
 
Any chance of getting a link which I can download, without being forced to sign up for an account?


*EDIT*
In the end I downloaded it from somewhere else (I assume it's the same one) and got it running with no problems.

Now, I'm a die-hard doom fan and i hate to see people having problems to run this stuff, so in the end, I'm thinking what I might do is upload a "pack" with some of the Best TCs on the net, already set up to run with PrBoom on the GP2X. Each TC will have it's own icon and .gpe so you just unzip it into your Prboom folder on the SD card and you're good to go.

At the moment I've got these up and running:
Aliens
Batman
Blood
ChexQuest
Counterstrike
GoldenEye
Simpsons

I want to add one or two more "classics" and then I'll upload it to one of these fileshare sites(maybe further along it could be uploaded to the archive?).

Give me a few hours and I'll see what I can do...
