Cannot find install location [Ubuntu 12.04]

Palemask

I installed the program and it seems to run just fine for the most part. It boots up like a champ. I closed it out to find where to put my wads and navigated to the place where Terminal said it was. It wasn't there. I searched the file system and nothing. It runs, but it looks like it never installed.

I also tried the -iwad command to try to get the location of the wads used but it 'couldn't find the location' but that might be my ineptitude with Ubuntu.

open up a terminal and type

locate doomsday

this will list the location of all things that have "doomsday" in it.
You should find it in /usr/bin/ though e.g. /usr/bin/doomsday


you should just be able to type

doomsday

into a terminal though, as binaries installed to /bin /sbin /usr/bin are able to be run from anywhere by just typing their name

You can put your WAD files anywhere you want, as long as you tell Doomsday where they are using the "-iwad" option. If you're having a problem with this option, please copy here the command line you are using and maybe we can figure out what's wrong.

However, if you use "launch-doomsday" to start the game via the frontend, you can also set the WAD location via the frontend settings.

Yet another way to set the WAD location is to create a file called "~/.doomsday/paths", and define "iwaddir" in there, for instance:

iwaddir: /home/myusername/WADs
