How do I play it? "gzdoom myhouse.wad" doesn't work. "gzdoom -wad myhouse.wad" doesn't work either. There's also a pk3 file in the drive. What is it for?

- viraptor 3y agoYou add doom2.wad (Doom II – Hell on Earth (v1.9)), then run the pk3 file with gzdoom.
- pinkcan 3y agowhere is the doom2.wad coming from?
- viraptor 3y agoYour purchased Doom copy of course ; ) (just search for it, come on, the top results give it to you - just like the search results for "how to run myhouse.wad")
- pinkcan 3y agoI just purchased I and II from GOG, they're EXEs; i'm on a macos machine :'(
- bogantech 3y agoIIRC they can be extracted using innoextract: https://github.com/dscharrer/innoextract https://github.com/dscharrer/innoextract Needs to be used with the offline installer files from GOG
- thristian 3y agoGOG's installers are made with InnoSetup, you can use a tool like InnoExtract to get the files out of them (source at https://constexpr.org/innoextract/ https://constexpr.org/innoextract/ or in MacPorts/Homebrew).
- indrora 3y agoYou can uh find them on the internet. I wont tell you that the record 2020_03_22_DOOM on archive.org has it. I can't confirm.
- anthk 3y agoOr just use freedoom2.wad from the FreeDOOM project and rename it as doom2.wad

- aidenn0 3y agoThere's an encrypted copy on the Quake CD.
- gsich 3y agomy gzdoom download had one included iirc.
- manvillej 3y agowatch the video: https://youtu.be/5wAo54DHDY0 https://youtu.be/5wAo54DHDY0
- owlninja 3y agoI was a Doom II junkie back in the day and probably don't consume youtube videos like some people - but this video kept my attention.
- tempodox 3y agoFollow the download link from [1], download `myhouse.zip`, put `myhouse.wad` from the zip where your other WADs are. Run GZDoom and use the [Browse…] button in the initial dialog to load `myhouse.wad`. Voilà.

- hales 3y agoNo, do NOT use the .wad version. Use the .pk3 version. The .wad was added at a later date, it's not the mod, it's a stripped down vanilla level with no magic.
- ImAnAmateur 3y agoI'm pretty sure the .wad was always there. It was just hidden in the .zip file in the Google Drive download as a red herring. It's not something to be avoided, just play the .pk3 file afterwards.
- anthk 3y agoGet freedoom2.wad from https://freedoom.github.io https://freedoom.github.io and rename it to doom2.wad
- AgentME 3y agoYou're going to have not the same textures as regular Doom 2 so plenty of designs and custom textures based on the originals used alongside them will look out of place. For playing with MyHouse for the proper experience, it would be best to get proper Doom 2.
- anthk 3y agoMost environment textures of FreeDoom (if not all) are designed to be compatible on art style so you can play IWADs with no art clashing. I played Requiem, STRAIN and lots of classical PWADs (even Back To Saturn) and the megawads always looked great on every level.
- ImAnAmateur 3y ago1: Get gzdoom set up. 2: Get gzdoom to run Doom II so you know everything is working. 3: Run myhouse.pk3 with gzdoom. The file myhouse.wad does work, but it's very short.
