So, you've finally downloaded dsdoom, you're eager to play some
mods but you don't know how to install them. here are the basic steps
you can take to making sure they work!
1. If you only have the
shareware doom1.wad chances are only a few mods will work on dsdoom,
mostly just weapon, and e1 level wads. The best thing to do is go out
and purchase Doom2, since most modders base their stuff off of it
2.
How come all the dsdoom mods are prboom.wad? well, that's because
dsdoom requires prboom.wad to play, prboom.wad contains alot of
important assets in it, most modders will copy/paste their work into a
prboom.wad so that they run on dsdoom. So you're wondering why don't
they just modify a doom.wad? Well there are two answers for that, One
being that when you modify wads like doom.wad, doom2, plutonia or tnt
your changing the wads headers. prboom absolutely needs a base wad
generally known as an IWad, prboom.wad is a pwad so when you mod you
don't change the headers.
3.
Q: There is already a doom.wad & prboom.wad, how do I install the mod?
A: Since most modders modify prboom.wads, all you need to do is install the modded prboom.wad
onto your drive. you don't need to rename anything, its just a simple swap
