Alright! so after research (and mostly finding nothing) i started to get frustrated, i downloaded alot of third party software, none of it worked, BUT TODAY! I HAVE GREAT NEWS
If you use Zandronum on a mac and you want to play BrutalDoom with ANY .WAD File (For doom II) i have your answers! (Must already have BrutalDoom.pk3 in your skins folder, there are many tutorials on how to do so on mac)



First of all, Download the WAD File that you want to use (obviously)

If it comes as a .Zip file, Unzip it by double clicking the file (it will probably come in a folder)

Inside the folder, there should be your mod. ending in ".WAD"

Right click the file and move your cursor to "Open with" You should see "Zandronum" (if not you can just locate the app)

Zandronum will open and now you can play.

This works with pretty much every .WAD file for Doom 2.

Just repeat the process with any .WAD you want to play.

Ya welcome, Mac Gamers.

This is already a user error. NEVER put Brutal Doom in your skins folder. It will make it impossible to play with other players online when they don't even have it loaded on the server. (Seriously, there should be a humongous statement somewhere saying "DO NOT PUT BRUTAL DOOM IN THE SKINS FOLDER" because this is a very common mistake people have)

As for the rest, there should be launcher that are compatible with Macintosh computers. Doomseeker or Doom Explorer should work with a Mac, and, at least with the latter, it's rather straightforward to make your own offline game. With Doomseeker, though, you'll need to click the "Create Game" button towards the top (it's to the right of the refresh button)

Don't quote me on that, but there should be programs specifically designed for Macs that can launch Zandro with various wads.

Or you could put Brutal Doom in the folder where every other mod goes????? Stop doing that.
