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:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
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".
