Anyone tried to compile ZDOOM or Zandronum yet? Would be nice to run some good DOOM2 wads and pk3 only available with these engines. ---

Ok so obviously, what I wanted to do is play Brutal Doom and other mods working only through GZDOOM or ZDOOM… And I succeeded in compiling zdoom and launch Brutal Doom. Its very playable but I believe that some settings must be changed to make it completely fluid. Here is what I did: **Compiling zdoom:** 1 - Download zdoom from here: [https://github.com/rheit/zdoom](https://github.com/rheit/zdoom) 2 - Send it to /home/cpi/ 3 - Unzip it: **unzip zdoom-master.zip** 4 - **cd zdoom-master** 5 - **sudo cmake .** \*_(the dot is important!!!)_ 6 - **sudo make all** **Preparing Doom wads and mods:** 1 - Get doom.wad and doom2.wad 2 - Create a folder in /home/cpi/games/ and put your wads in there. I named mine **WADS** 3 - Download Brutal Doom: [https://www.moddb.com/mods/brutal-doom/downloads/brutal-doom-v20-legacy-edition](https://www.moddb.com/mods/brutal-doom/downloads/brutal-doom-v20-legacy-edition) 4 - Move **brutalv20b.pk3** to your wads folder 5 - Create a folder in /home/cpi/launcher/Menu/GameShell/20\_Retro Games/. I named mine DOS WADS 6 - Create a launch script in your DOS WADS folder, name it **Brutal Doom.sh** 7 - Put this in it: **/home/cpi/zdoom-master/zdoom -iwad /home/cpi/games/WADS/doom2.wad -file /home/cpi/games/WADS/brutalv20b.pk3** 8 - Reboot your GameShell 9 - Try to launch Brutal Doom and the exit from it. 10 - Open /home/cpi/.config/zdoom/zdoom.ini 11 - Change the resolution on lines 133 and 134 to **vid\_defheight=240** and **vid\_defwidth=320** Finally, set your controller settings in-game and do not forget to set your Lightkey to use Look Up and Look Down, you will need it! Everything should work! If anyone have a better way to do all this I welcome you to share your method! 🙂 There might be a repo out there… sudo apt-get install zdoom would be easier… ---

thanks for the tuto ( instead of download zip from git repo you could directly clone it also with not directly use gzdoom source ? _`git clone https://github.com/coelckers/gzdoom.git --depth 1 && cd gzdoom`_ in general with cmake we mkdir a build folder before _`mkdir build && cd build && cmake .. && make -j4`_ ) there is a repo, it need packages :- ) ok after some compile time & packaging seem latest release only support opengl \>= 3.3 release note of 3.7.2 version seem the last containing “vintage” support for gl2 edit 37 \> [https://zdoom.org/Changelog/8ab68264c/files](https://zdoom.org/Changelog/8ab68264c/files) ### 08-Jun-2018 (Friday) at 12:12:06 CDT by Christoph Oelckers - removal of all code to handle OpenGL 2. From this commit on the main build of GZDoom will be OpenGL 3.3 or higher. ---

Hey thanks m8! I am always happy when I learn something, I am still new to compiling stuff. Yeah I tried compiling from the gzdoom source at first but when I launched games the screen was in opengl mode and only displaying a gradient from red to green… Yes cloning the git is way easier, this is good. I will try your method right away. 🙂 What is --depth 1 for? Is it to include changes and commit? I am unable to compile the 3.7.2 version… Did you managed it? ---

–depth 1 only download current code without all the history for checkout commit of 3.7.2 i was need to remove --depth 1 it compiled fine (need add swap file) but there is no texture drawed as your test 😕 i check trigger a bit the conf file without succes for now … to compile : `git clone https://github.com/coelckers/gzdoom.git && cd gzdoom` `git checkout 1455111ddca7142f97694047a540ce8c1bf4fa8f` `mkdir build && cd build && cmake .. -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release && make -j4` ---

Same for me. It seems to try to launch in open-gl mode. There must be a way to launch in software mode… ---

software mode seem be enable by adding _+vid\_rendermode 0_ to the command line or in .ini but does the exact same effect, no textures, it’s undocumented but can be found here [https://github.com/coelckers/gzdoom/blob/master/src/v\_video.h](https://github.com/coelckers/gzdoom/blob/master/src/v_video.h) and into some forum answer, so it’s not work or it’s internal and gzdoom still use hardware for main screen blit ? we may try change texture format like the doc say it here [https://zdoom.org/wiki/Texture\_options](https://zdoom.org/wiki/Texture_options) but cannot found this flag in current conf file i think we need fresher lima driver … i try switch the gs into fbturbo driver does not change anything, gl seem start in lima mode anyway like gzdoom output suggest : ``` GZDoom g3.5pre-44-g1455111dd - 2018-06-14 22:57:08 +0200 - SDL version Compiled on Apr 14 2019 M_LoadDefaults: Load system defaults.

I will try to contact the gzdoom team this week and ask them for help. Anyway, right now, Brutal Doom, and Brutal Wolfenstein work ok with the version of zdoom I used in my first tutorial. I’ll post back when I get answers. ---

Anyone else having issues with sound? I’m getting no audio whatsoever over multiple wads and pk3s. Any suggestions? ---

use openal for audio, you will need to install a soundfont to play midi with selection of timidity or fluidsynth in config i got a working build & config (but only a pretty old brutal doom work) i need package it. ---

Hey thanks for the quick reply, I manually downloaded the audio dependancies that weren’t found when building, and just grabbed my soundfont from my gzdoom build on my mac. Runs great with the august release!
