doom 2 different wads.

[kieferstr]

i dont know if this is a stupid question or not but i've been reading about different games (or in other words different .wad files) and i was wondering what doom 2 has to do with it. for example i got the .wad file for goldeneye 007 that i got from another link from a different forum and it mentiones doom2 to play it.

Doom 2 wads will play on Doom 2... i think. I'm pretty sure rockdoom only supports what would be "doom 1" wads but you can always try playing them.

Addon wads (pwads) are generally designed for a particular iwad.

Rockdoom supports Doom 2 wads.  It does not appear to support wads requiring DeHackEd patches, however.

From the wiki:

Note: addons that work with prboom-2.2.6 will work in Rockdoom as long as they don't require dehacked patches.

so... to get that goldeneye .wad file to work, what would i have to do?

[Chronon]

Make sure you're running it as an addon for the correct version of Doom.  Make sure that it doesn't require dehacked support.

Rockdoom supports dehacked patches now.  I need to update the wiki.

Ah... I did not know.  That's good news for many Doom fans.
