PWADs Failing to Load

RugerMK1 · 2010 Jan 22

Hi, I downloaded several megwads but can't seem to get them to work. The doomsday engine launches but hangs after the circle reaches a third full. They're all old megawads I grabbed from a doomworld article, I can provide the download links if it would be helpful.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

The doomsday.out contents you posted have been truncated up unto just before the information we need. Can you post the remainder please. It would also be helpful to know which PWADs you are having trouble with (download links would be fine).

RugerMK1 · 2010 Jan 22

The PWAD links are as follows:

http://www.doomworld.com/idgames/index.php?id=690
http://www.doomworld.com/idgames/index.php?id=8194
http://www.doomworld.com/idgames/index.php?id=11412
http://www.doomworld.com/idgames/index.php?id=11848

As for the out file, I opened it in both notepad and wordpad but it only contains what was posted before. Is there a particular program I need to view the contents correctly of the .out file?

RugerMK1 · 2010 Jan 23

I was able to resolve my problem. Turned out I was creating a new entry for every megawad I was trying to run instead of just adding them to the jDoom entries already present.

Good to hear you figured it out. The launcher does take a little bit of getting used to
