Doom wad for weaker systems?

ADoom = mouse control was lost, AmiDoom = no sound, DoomAttack = ok

But as they are PWADs I don't see them lightening the load
Or was that the original question ?
How to make a Pwad an Iwad ?

Try it with ZDOOM AGA/RTG...should work just fine. ZDOOM is the most advanced 68k DOOM version, well apart from ODAMEX I guess.

[Nobby_UK]

Tried it, failed with old Sound Library --- got new one...

Now says "could not allocate zone heap"

[NovaCoder]

Interesting.

How much memory do you have?

Try ODAMEX or maybe Chocolate DOOM.

I'll try ZDOOM myself and see what is happening.

Update: No idea what is wrong with this WAD, I couldn't get it running on any of my 68k ports.

Obvious question , can you get it to work with the standard PC version of Doom ?

[Nobby_UK]

Who can get the 'Standard' version to run on Win 7+ anyway ?

It runs on PC ZDoom (and Adoom, Ami Doom + Doom Attack)

But Zdoom AGA will not even run DooM (IE -File disabled)

Atari Jaguar's and Snes' Doom is made to run only with 1mb ram. So wad should be quite much lightweight and that way faster with 68020/30 accelerators.

Not sure what you mean? ZDOOM AGA definitely runs the original commercial DOOM wads, it would be strange if it didn't

[Nobby_UK]

Well I'm getting the same HEAP error.

It is not defined in the icon --- what should it be set to ?

Yes, but I think they are running it as an iWad


But we have a pWad, so it is an additional load ?

How much memory do you have and are you using the aminet version?

You can always specify a value (eg 32j in the tooltypes to force it to allocate a specific amount, otherwise I think it just allocates 64 MB

[Nobby_UK]

Initially 32 Meg then bumped it to 128

Where else would I get it ?

The Guru would indicate an FPU error ?

I think the HEAP error was a hang over from the first run
Since I deleted it --- no error.txt has been written.

Yes ZDOOM doesn't need an FPU?

I'll download v1.22.11 AGA from Aminet and double check myself using WinUAE, thanks

Update:

I download http://aminet.net/package/game/shoot/ZDOOM_AGA

stuck my DOOM2.WAD file in the ZDOOM folder. I setup WinUAE to be an 030 without an FPU and with only 32 MB of FASTRAM and ZDOOM AGA runs fine for me

Not sure why you are having problems?

I even changed the Tooltype heapsize to 16 and it still works fine for me so it must be your setup.

[Nobby_UK]

No biggie --- I still have the 3 others

# Update #

RTG version works Great !

Had to ;Closewb though

With this Doom is more playable with 68020 32mhz, than with 50 mhz 68030 with original WAD.

This is pWad, is there a easy way to compose it to doom.wad? So that I just need to drop it to ADoom folder and double click icon it to start?

Now I need to start it from shell like this : Adoom -ehb -file jaguartc.wad

[utri007]

there is a Amiga version of DeusF https://doomwiki.org/wiki/DeuTex

If I merge jaguartc.wad to doom.wad Doom doesn't start, it gives error error: W_GetNumForName : s_Start

Seem to be this :

To work with this program, your PWAD must respect this format:
- Either S_START or SS_START before the first SPRITE entry

Unfortunately desuf or wintext doesn't work with 64bit Win 10, so I cant test those. With dosbox I can make a merged wad but that doesn display demo, but quit back to Amiga OS when new game is selected.

Cool, glad you got it working

I use this for edit maps 20 years ago, but have more options like merge wads. Output wads works on ADoom.
Or Slade for Win.
