Talk:FreeDoom

Concerning mods, the WAD is not simply replaced, I will add this quote from the readme of PrBoom

PrBoom also supports playing Doom add-on levels, called "PWADs", which are small extra .wad files which just contain extra levels or other resources. PWADs are ONLY ADD-ONS, you still need the original IWAD that they are designed to work with. In practice, most PWADs on the Internet require doom2.wad (although some work with doom.wad). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.7.35.9 (talk • contribs)


 * There are two types of WAD files: PWADs ("patch") and IWADs ("Id"). There are thousands and thousands of patch wads implementing new levels, sounds etc., that can be used to supplement an official ID WAD.


 * The freedoom project is creating new IWAD files that in no way rely on the commercial IWADs of ID Software. If you are using Debian, you can just apt-get install freedoom prboom and run it without needing the originals. -- Jon Dowland 14:46, 2 September 2006 (UTC)
