.doom
AmberELEC supports the Doom engine trough lzdoom (standalone).
It’s possible to load mods and keep them in your gamelist beside your main Doom, Doom 2, SIGIL, Heretic and Hexen wads.
The system recognizes all the .doom
files that can be placed in /roms/doom
but it needs the original (not shareware) versions of the main games placed in /roms/doom/*.wad
, the mods instead must be put into /roms/doom/mods/*.wad, *.ipk3
.
However this is a standard that we are using, no one is forcing you to use this method unless you’re sharing the .doom and the shareable mod files with the community (see each mod’s licence about sharing).
Savefiles will be put into /roms/gamedata/lzdoom/*.zds
So a sample directory tree is like:
/roms/doom/
./iwads DIR
./mods DIR
Castlevania.doom
Doom.doom
Doom_2.doom
Heretic.doom
Hexen.doom
SIGIL.doom
Simpsons_Doom.doom
TNT.doom
/roms/doom/iwads
doom.wad
doom2.wad
heretic.wad
hexen.wad
plutonia.wad
tnt.doom
SIGIL_v1_21.wad
/roms/doom/mods
Castlevania.ipk3
ulsimpdm.wad
The file is simple and self explaining:
IWAD=/storage/roms/doom/iwads/doom.wad
MOD=/storage/roms/doom/mods/ulsimpdm.wad
-- end --
IWAD
is the main base game file, in this case is doom.wad
.
MOD
is obviously the mod is loaded.
Please note that the names are case sensitive.
If you created some .doom files and you want to share them with the community you are very welcome. Actually the .doom repo is here. You can even share the mod files if the licence allows it. It’s forbidden to share the copyrighted .wad files such as the retail version of doom.wad
