Its my way to start .wad and .pk3.
Opinions?

ZDL is all right. It's what I usually use, but now I'm trying out Doom Launcher.

When I was a kid, I didn't know that you could drag WADs onto the ZDoom executable via Explorer to open them, so I did it manually via the command line. Things are so much easier now.

ZDL is based

I use Doom Launcher, it's also good.

Protip: don't use Doom 95

>> No.7818815

On Linux you can just open the terminal, write the name of the port, -file and drag and drop the wads in the order you want them to be loaded
I haven't bothered with loaders in a long time

>No one ever mentions THE best launcher for DooM that can support every sourceport under one program
Why haven't you switched over to DooM Explorer?

What you want is Crispy Doom and then something like Doom Launcher.

zdl is probably the best doom wad loader.

This was the best thing about Doom95

>> No.7823783

I just have a good [doom.Autoload] list and a folder with shortcuts to gzdoom.exe. Add something like 'freelook 0' to autoexec.cfg and then you can simply add '+set freelook 1' to the arguments of any wads that require it.

Rocket Launcher 2 for me.
