What About Freedoom? I think the wiki said it can be used as a replacement for Doom II. Can it run addon WADs for Doom II (or even the original)? I've been using the shareware version of the original Doom (and addon WADs Don't work...), and a lot of people said Doom II Works better with addon WADs. so, to sum it up: Will  Freedoom run Demon's Gate, addon WADs, ect.?

I haven't personally tried it, but it should work.

Doom addons won't work with the shareware version of Doom. Most of the addon WADS I have work with DOOM 2. Just google up doom wads for good sites that have great wad files. I have about 300 addons that are all fun, but what sucks is that the DOOM 2 file can only save 6 games... :(

Addons work with the doom2.wad on rockdoom. Well, not ALWAYS, but I've found that about 80% of the addons worked, and I have ALOT of them  :P

Freedom can run addon WADs. If it's a total-conversion WAD (like Half-Life, Duum II, Western etc.) it should run pretty much the same as it would it was the real copy of Doom 2. If it's a WAD which uses the default Doom sprites, it may looks different but should play just as usual. I highly recommend Freedoom, it may not look just like the classic Doom, but it's good enough.

Yeah, I'm not going to bother trying to port zDoom on rockbox. The only reason I wanted to was to see if I can get out of buying the game in order to play addons. I was fiddling around with zDoom on my computer, and I realized that...
1) The Shareware version of Doom cant run addons, even with zDoom (neither can Freedoom)
2) Most of the features of zDoom (Jumping/looking up/down) can't be used on an ipod
3) too hard to port :P

Yeah, But you need the actual game to do that, right? 'cause I only have the shareware version of Doom, which I used in freedoom, and the addons didn't work. I only mentioned freedoom to see if it can be a way to use addons and get out of buying the actual game.
oh well... Thanks anyway.

Freedoom runs add-ons just fine.  Maybe you should read more about the operation of the Doom plugin on the wiki -- the page is named PluginDoom.

I use Freedoom and it supports addons.

This is basically the same topic as this other thread of yours.  The mods tend not to like multiple threads on the same topic cluttering up the forums.

I agree, and for that reason I've merged the two threads.

Please use real words. This means not things like "u". Our posting guidelines exist for a reason.

Because we have users who need machine translation for either other languages, or because they're blind. And non-real words cause greater difficulty for them. The rules exist for a reason. You agreed to them already.
