I can't get certain iwads to run in Ubuntu

[Danelopedia]

When I start up Zandronum, I'm met with that "found more than one IWAD" dialogue, which seems normal enough. The problem is that the only wads it displays are plutonia, tnt, doom, doom1, heretic, freedoom, chex, chex3, doom2, hexen, hexdd, and strife. All of my wad files are in the right location.

It wouldn't play the Blasphemer wad until I changed its name to the name of the Heretic wad, and removed the actual Heretic wad..

When I run Zandronum from the Terminal along with an explicit command for the path and name of the wad file I'm trying to play, the same dialogue pops up anyway, still lacking anything other than the files I listed.

Any ideas on what I should do?

what's the command you're using

[Danelopedia]

Code: Select all

zandronum /home/username/.zandronum/nameofwadfile.wad

Blasphemer is not recognized as an IWAD by Zandronum... yet.

[Ijon Tichy]

Code: Select all

zandronum /home/username/.zandronum/nameofwadfile.wad

try "zandronum -iwad /path/to/blasphemer.wad"

It worked! Cool, thanks for the tip. :)
