Doom Doesn't View Regestered Doom.wad as regestered

<< < (5/5)

It's standard among most of the source ports to include support for loading the french doom 2 wad (even though none of them that I know of include the french strings).  I have never had a copy of the french doom2 translation wad so I don't know what else was changed in the release (I would imagine at least the menu graphics).  The reason it was included is that it was one of the official releases from iD software.  In the past source ports have only ever supported the "official" iwads from iD.  That recently changed at least with Prboom in that they added support for freedoom as well.  I didn't see a reason to remove an official release from rockdoom, and freedoom is the only other one we recommend apart from the shareware version as a legal, free replacement so it does make sense to include freedoom as an option as well.  If there were other official translations I would add in their support, but there are not.  I don't see it as being harmful or much trouble to add wad support in for doom2 french and freedoom and most people won't know the difference except the small (if any) number of people that use the french doom 2 wad.  If nothing else it gives a placeholder for 1 other full iwad replacement if someone wanted to use it for wad X.

If someone speaks up for including the doom2 french version I will add it back in, if not then I guess we can just leave it be at least until I get around to syncing with the newest prboom (they added in some additional wad identification similar to what we did in rockdoom and I would eventually like to keep the sources as close as possible even though there are quite a few differences right now)

hey thanks, turns out, I've had the ultimate doom the whole time. It was just never named doomu.wad so i never saw the 4th episode. it said the ultimate doom on my loading screen at the beginning, and it had the extra switch on the first level that ultimate doom has, but i never knew that the name counts!

OH THANK YOU!!!  I always wandered why it never showed flesh from thy bones.
