Mutators on Linux

[maverik010]

Hello friends!

I play Doom with Zandronum for a pretty long time. But now i moved on Linux so some matters got serious. In Windows launching mutators could be done by draging them onto zandronum exe or just by launching one of them. But for linux it's different.

I downloaded Linux version of Zandronum and there appeared first problem (i guess that's not a last one). Backing into topic i can't launch Doom with mutators. I am new linux user so i would appreciate if someone experienced with linux (Mint Edition, x64) could help me. Doom starts normaly (doom.wad or doom2.wad) there's no sound (I guess i must dl audio card drivers or tinker in settings).

Cheers!

Have you tried compiling it for your own system?

I needn't do that because Zandronum is already written for Linux the problem is i don't know what special attributes it need to include specific mutators.

I typing Zandronum in terminal.

Code: Select all

zandronum

and later i choose a wad that i want to play. For me (doom.wad, doom2.wad)
Here is a log:

As you can see there are two line telling us zandronum.pk3 and doom.wad are being loaded. I don't know attributes to add any other mutators i.e brutal19.pk3.

Earlier i tried to launch it with

Code: Select all

zandronum -file /home/usr/games/zandronum/brutal19.pk3

but it also did nothing.

FIXED

You must type

Code: Select all

zandronum -iwad doom2 -file brutal19.pk3

I was doing right but with wrong syntax.

Problem is resolved.
