gmDoom

DOES NOT WORK WITHOUT AN IWAD. CONTINUE READING FOR HELP.

gmDoom is a partial source port of DOOM for Garry's Mod.

Please do not share download links for commercial WAD files in the comments or discussions. If you are experiencing a problem with the addon, please post in the discussion section instead of the comments. I try to respond to the issues I can, but I don't have enough time to help everyone immediately.

[h1]INSTALLATION GUIDE[/h1] [table] [tr][th]1. Getting your IWAD...[/th][/tr] [tr][td]

You must have a DOOM IWAD file in your garrysmod/garrysmod/ folder. gmDoom only needs ONE IWAD, and any extra IWAD files you install will be ignored by gmDoom. If you have installed any of the following games, you can find your IWAD's default location below:

[table equalcells=0] [tr] [th]Your Game...[/th] [th]Default IWAD location[/th] [/tr] [tr] [td]DOOM II: Hell on Earth[/td] [td]C:\Program Files (x86)\steam\steamapps\common\doom 2\base\DOOM2.WAD[/td] [/tr] [tr] [td]DOOM Eternal[/td] [td]C:\Program Files (x86)\steam\steamapps\common\Doom Eternal\base\classicwads\DOOM2.WAD[/td] [/tr] [tr] [td]DOOM 3: BFG Edition[/td] [td]C:\Program Files (x86)\steam\steamapps\common\DOOM 3 BFG Edition\base\wads\DOOM2.WAD[/td] [/tr] [tr] [td]Final DOOM[/td] [td]C:\Program Files (x86)\steam\steamapps\common\doom 2\base\TNT.WAD[/td] [/tr] [tr] [td]Master Levels for DOOM II[/td] [td]C:\Program Files (x86)\steam\steamapps\common\Master Levels of Doom\doom2\DOOM2.WAD[/td] [/tr] [tr] [td]The Ultimate Doom⚠️[/td] [td]C:\Program Files (x86)\steam\steamapps\common\ultimate doom\base\DOOM.WAD[/td] [/tr] [/table]

[table] [tr] [td]⚠️[/td] [td]Does not provide all monsters, weapons, and items[/td] [/tr] [/table]

The recommended IWAD file is DOOM2.WAD. If you do not own a DOOM IWAD, you can still use the DOOM shareware IWAD or the Freedoom IWAD. Please consult the IWAD feature chart to see which features your chosen IWAD provides. [/td][/tr]

[tr][th]2. ...Installing your IWAD to Garry's Mod[/th][/tr] [tr][td]

Once you have found your IWAD, copy it to your garrysmod/garrysmod/ folder by following these steps: [olist] [*]Open your Steam library. [*]Right click on 'Garry's Mod' and select 'Properties'. [*]In the window that pops up, click on the 'LOCAL FILES' tab. [*]Click on the button labeled 'BROWSE LOCAL FILES...'. [*]The folder that appears should have another folder inside it named 'garrysmod'. Open it. [*]Paste your IWAD file into the 'garrysmod' folder you just opened. [*]Installation complete! [/olist]

If you decided to skip the above steps and open the garrysmod/garrysmod/ folder yourself, be aware that the path moved on June 5th, 2013. Follow the above steps so you don't use an old path! [/td][/tr] [/table]

[h1]FAQ[/h1]

Q: Why are there pink and black boxes everywhere?!

A: You didn't install a DOOM IWAD, or you have installed it incorrectly. Please refer to the installation guide above.

Q: Some stuff is a black square for a moment! What's wrong?

A: For now, this is normal. Textures are loaded when they are needed, so the first time you spawn something it takes a moment for it to load the textures it needs. They should be fine in a few seconds.

Q: The textures were fine, but something caused them to turn into black squares again! What do I do?

A: The material system has probably reloaded. This usually occurs when you do something like changing your video settings. The textures should begin reloading automatically, so give them some time to finish.

Q: I installed an IWAD file, but gmDoom stopped working after June 5th, 2013. Why? How do I fix this?

June 5th, 2013 was the day of the SteamPipe update for Garry's Mod. There is a good chance this has changed the location of your garrysmod folder, and you may need to reinstall your IWAD. Please revisit the installation guide, which has been updated to account for this change.

Q: Why is my weapon locked up after transitioning to a new level?

A: This is an issue with the save system of Garry's Mod. I'll try to remedy this with a custom save system.

Q: Monsters don't bleed when I shoot them, and the weapons don't have the smoke impact effects. How do I fix this?

A: This is apparently caused if you have installed the M9K weapon packs. Something about it keeps gmDoom's effects from being loaded, so try disabling it for now. I'll look for some way to resolve this conflict.

Q: What is an IWAD?

A: An IWAD is a file containing all of the DOOM assets ( sprites, textures, sounds, music, maps, etc. ).

Q: Why do I have to install a stupid IWAD? Why can't you just include the assets in the addon!?

A: It's not legal for me to redistribute the game assets.

Q: Can this mod run Brutal Doom?

A: Unfortunately, it cannot. Brutal Doom is a mod for ZDoom-based engines, but gmDoom is based on the original Doom engine.

Q: Does this mod have some sort of control panel?

A: Yes! You can open the gmDoom menu with the console command "doom_cl_menu_toggle". From here, you'll be able to set various options, including which keys are used to show the menu and the automap.

Q: How do I enable the DOOM HUD?
