Zandronum WAD loader
Posted: Thu Oct 22, 2015 8:24 am
Hi guys,
quick search showed no result for such a thing as is Zandronum WAD Loader that would make it nicer to load multiple wads. I can barely remember that there were something based on Java, but that's something I personally don't use/like/whatever.
So I've made a very simple batch script for loading multiple wads AND simple way for loading multiple wads in right order (like RGH requires skulltag_actors/data which has to be linked/loaded before RGH itself).
So... after some edits you have to make in this batch file or it won't work properly, you simply run it, it will display all files located in specified direktory, you will enter name of the wads you want to run and press enter. Boom, it works!
NOTE:
In my zandro folder, i have iwad/pwad subfolders, name speaks for themselves. The script works with this system. Also, I've zandro installed in C:\Games\Zandronum.
If you open the script with RMC(Right mouse click)->Edit
and navigate to line 10 (after lot's of lines starting with REM), you can change directory where's Zandro installed.
Line 11 sets name of pwad subfolder (pwad in my case).
So if you have you zandro installed in like D:\Prog\Games\Doom
line 10 will look like:
and let's say you have all your pwads in same directory, so line 11 will be:
just like that.
When you will run the script, it will write for example:
so now you can just type brit11 brutalv20.pk3, hit enter and it will run.
Hope it helps ;)
PS.: Since this runs under Windows, it's not case sensitive, so LoReM and lorem are equal
