[Solved] 1.9.7 (#420) - Missing hexen.wad

Ubuntu 64bit. All WADs (doom, hexen etc..) are in `/Doomsday. Path for Snowberry is shown for each .wad. All games run normal, but only hexen has problem.

"Failed to locate all required startup resources:
! hexen.wad - missing
jhexen.pk3 - found data/jhexen/jhexen.pk3
Hexen (hexen) cannot be loaded."

The same with Hexen-dk, but hexdd.wad is found and again hexen.wad is missing.

I know that hexen.wad is not broken - on 1.9.0 beta 6.9 it's ran almost normaly (no music).

Upd: I installed 1.9.7 buid 420 on Win7 64 bit - the same problem: "Missing hexen.wad"

    in the hexen settings where dose it show the hexen.wad located that could be the culprit all along

    1.9.7 Build 423...same problem.. heh :-w

    Hexen appears to be working for everyone else. It sounds like you have misconfigured that game profile.

    Looks like it doesn't work for me either. Could there be something wrong with the wad file? Like wrong version or something? My wad is 20 128 392 bytes.

    If I type load hexen.wad in the console, or load data/jhexen/hexen.wad, it finds and loads the wad, but doesn't do anything after that.

    Perhaps you need to patch it? Doomsday only supports Hexen version 1.1
  • JCAJCA
    Looks like that was it. Never thought there even were patches for Hexen.

    Hm, where i can find ver. of hexen.wad? It's worked on 1.9.0 beta 6.9 (but whithout music) and in console there is only IWAD identification: 014ed52e. And ver. of jhexen (1.3.8). Hexen.wad - 20 128 392 bytes long.

    Upd: Well, i "found" another hexen.wad wich has 20 083 672 bytes long. And, at last, it works normal in 1.9.7 Build 423. Thank you comrades. =))

    But now the same problem with "misssing" hexdd.wad (4 429 700 bytes long). Well, what ver. of hexdd.wad needs for Dark Citadel? :((

    Upd2: OK, i know now (thx DOOM Wiki >:) ) that hexdd.wad ver. 1.1. has 4 440 584 bytes long. So i had ver. 1.0. But "new" hexdd.wad 1.1 don't want to work in 1.9.7 Build 423 with hexen.wad 1.1

    SO:
    hexen.wad ver. 1.0 - 20 128 392 bytes - didn't work on 1.9.7 Build 423
    hexen.wad ver. 1.1 - 20 083 672 bytes - work on 1.9.7 Build 423

    hexdd.wad ver. 1.0 - 4 429 700 bytes - didn't work on 1.9.7 Build 423
    hexdd.wad ver. 1.1 - 4 440 584 bytes - didn't work on 1.9.7 Build 423 !!!

    What i'm doing wrong? I made reinstall hexdd.wad, reinstall all build with full options reset..
  • malice2kmalice2k
    Heh, i found a fix to my problem:

    1. Yes, hexen.wad & hexdd.wad both need ver. 1.1
    2. Standart Game Profile for Hexen: Deathkings of the Dark Citadel:
    Settings tab:
    Game component - jHexen
    Game mode - Deathkings of the Dark Citadel
    Addons tab: hexdd.wad is ON
    But in that position it's not work - miissing wad message.
    3. Standart Game Profile for Hexen:
    Settings tab:
    Game component - jHexen
    Game mode - Hexen
    Addons tab: hexdd.wad is OFF
    Hexen works normaly..
    But if hexdd.wad in addon tab marks ON - Deathkings of the Dark Citadel ran perfectly.
    4. New Game Profile for Hexen: Deathkings of the Dark Citadel:
    Settings tab:
    Game component - jHexen
    Game mode - Hexen
    Addons tab: hexdd.wad is ON
    Don't know - maybe it's only my system problem...

    Did you try this?
    1. hexen.wad and hexdd.wad in the same directory
    2. standard/new game profile for "Hexen: Deathkings of the Dark Citadel"
    3. game component: jHexen
    4. game mode: Deathkings of the Dark Citadel
    5. addons: deselect all addons; hexdd.wad to OFF
    When the game mode is "Deathkings", Doomsday is supposed to automatically find and load hexdd.wad.

    I'm using a hexdd.wad sized 4429700 bytes and it's working for me.

    Done 1-5.
    Moved hexen.wad to \snowberry\addons (where hexdd is located), made new standart Dark Citadel profile without selected addons and hexdd.wad off.
    It's work! Thank you!
    After that Hexen.wad & hexdd.wad (both ver. 1.1) was moved in my own WAD dirrectory and try to start. Work again!
    Than turn addons on (jxrp & xhtp20100714.pk3) and again all work perfectly!

    Now i understand. Thank you. 1.9.7 already looks great! =))
