Setting up GZDoom from scratch is horrible, so I wrapped up this package that has the necessary basics for me to get started on playing modded Doom.
This is mostly a personal resource/backup, but anyone looking to skip the non-sense of setting up GZDoom from scratch will enjoy this. Its got a folder set up to shove mods into, some addons already there, an existing gzdoom.ini with controls/settings/preferences already set up, an autoexec.cfg for crouch/jump allowing on all levels automatically, controls for music volume control ingame with KL, cheats bound to the numpad for convenience. Also includes some tiny addon pk3/wads that I use quite often, few of them even made by me.
Uses a manual low-tech text based mod autoloading procedure that I personally find most convenient, organized and fastest.
Sorry, but how is setting up GZDoom at all horrible? You extract it and then drag and drop or use a launcher. It shouldn't be a challenge for anyone but the most technologically illiterate to use.
The ten trillion steps to set it all up correctly is a nightmare.
If I got GZDoom freshly extracted and had to dive into the options menu and folders to set up everything the way I wanted, I'd have to spend several hours.
Controls, settings, finding mods, downloading them, organizing them into folders, renaming the mods to make them identifiable and several other minor tweaks. This package skips all that nonsense, saves time and I don't have to keep in my memory how things were previous set up the way I wanted.
Thanks so much!
Hopping across multiple computers with different versions of Linux and Windows 10, I always kept my personal backups of gzdoom in the cloud so I could bypass the AWFUL initial setup steps.
Very useful!
The haters gonna keep hating! And in denial too!
