a little help with the DOOM?

[ubercooldave]

okay, i have an iPod video 5.5g 30gb and the other day installed the latest rockbox.
ive installed doom shareware edition and doom 2, and they both work a charm from the "game" submenu from the "doom" option in the games menu. now, ive found a few cool pluggins, such as starwars.wad and dukenukem.wad, and when installing it by either putting it in the doom folder or in my own created doom/pluggins folder, they are not visible in the "pluggins" or "game" folder once actually in the game on my ipod.
can someone please help?

Remove one g.

(In other words: use the correct spelling. Computers care for it.)

Here's what the manual has to say:
Doom

Here's what the wiki has to say:
PluginDoom.

Both of these tell you the correct location for saving addon .wads.

So will a quick search on the forums. This question has been asked to ad infinitum.

thank you very much
one query tho...
when i start up some addons, such as half life, it will begin to load, then say "this addon does not support the normal doom graphics" or something like that, then quickly flash the start screen and close down and go back to rockbox. any help please?

Again, search the forums. I don't remember the answer off the top of my head, and I know it's floating around here somewhere.

if you haven't read the wonderful links those Mods brought up, I'll sum it up for you...


Certain Addon WADS (namely Duke Nukem and Half-Life and StarWars) All are modded somehow to a point that Rockdoom cannot play it (although I can't remember exactly which Doom port Rockdoom is made from, I do remember it's rather basic). These other WADS either have HUGE sprites (from giant title screens, to weapon sprites that are just BARELY over the size limit), and/or DECORATE or other type modifications that change the gameplay of the game (like Action Doom, or the Doom III weapon Mod)

Some of those WADS were ment to be played in Zdoom, or another port (or iDoom, if you want to try IPL. it can play most any wad, but it's a bit of a pain, no sound, and can't change control scheme. but still cool), but as for Rockdoom, it can't.

that doesn't mean you can't try them anyway  . sprite changes (like Wolfendoom and the Doom 64 weapon mod) will most likely work. I test many wads on my ipod (with usual failure -.-), but it's still won't hurt to try. but if that "THIS WAD DOESN'T SUPPORT REGULAR DOOM GRAPHICS" popup comes up, it basically means that the addon won't work
