Hello and thank you for everyone who participates in this project!

I wanted to try Doomsday under Kubuntu 11.10 so:

sudo apt-get install doomsday
doomsday -game jheretic -verbose -file ~/HERETIC.WAD

HERETIC.WAD exists in home directory (though this does not affect the outcome)

Unfortunately, I got the following errors:

Autoload round completed with 15 new files.
--- No IWAD has been specified! Important data might be missing. Are you sure you want to continue?
Con_Busy: Was busy for 0.06 seconds.
**ERROR** W_AddFile: /usr/share/deng/data/jheretic/auto/.basedata/fontb63.lmp

I found some traces of same error in the Internet, but no solution.

'/usr/share/deng/data/jheretic/jheretic.pk3' exists and is loaded, and seem to contain the needed file(s) in "#.basedata". Extracting files manually to what seems to be a requested folder does not gives any result.

Could you give any ideas? What can I try?

I found it, the HERETIC.WAD file was in somehow wrong format (PWAD instead of IWAD). Now all is ok. Sorry.

Glad to here you found the problem and the fix for it

Also, a tip: -game expects a game identifier such as "heretic-ext" or "heretic". You can find all the identifiers in the man page.

Er, sorry, is seems to accept "jheretic" only (or jhexen etc.), and works fine that way. I don't know whether this is important, saying just in case.
EDIT: oh, I see I can pass a game identifier to "load" console command.
