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: + +freedoom.wad - Replacement IWAD for Doom II. +freedoomu.wad - Same data as freedoom.wad, but in Doom I compatible form. +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 "freedoom.wad" to "doom2.wad" and "freedoomu.wad" to "doom.wad". + |
