Zandronum's welcome IWAD search window-box will appear when an IWAD is not found within the parent directory.

When Zandronum is loaded for the first time within the Windows® platform it may ask the user to specify a directory that contains either one of or more than one of the listed IWAD file(s). An IWAD or Internal WAD file is necessary in order to play Doom, Doom 2, ZDoom, GZDoom, Zandronum and any other Doom based engine available. Moreover, the IWAD file contains information such as maps, sounds, music, monsters, items, and other visual and environment aspects of the game. As a result, the IWAD file plays an important role with Zandronum and every other Doom based engine, and running any game without the IWAD file is impossible.

Furthermore, if the user has already installed Doom from a floppy disk, or from a CD such as 'Doom for Windows 95' or 'Doom 2 for Windows 95' for example, the IWAD can be used from those installations of Doom or Doom 2.

A few years ago i made a map pack and never released it. I finally have an outlet to release the mod. This mod includes monsters such as terminator and vulcen as seen in my other mods.

There currently exists two methods of obtaining the Doom or Doom 2 IWAD file. First method is to purchase the game from, for instance, the idSoftware store, Steam, or Amazon.

TO LOAD DOOM 1 WADS OR ULTIMATE DOOM WADS FROM DOS -Quick info (see below for more detailed instructions): In your Doom directory, at the DOS Command Prompt, type doom -file WadName.wad 1. Copy the WAD file(s) into your Doom directory, if you haven't already done so. Install or upgrade Ultimate Doom v1.9 in a new directory, henceforth simply referred to as doom. A fresh new install is recommended. Be careful not to use your current Ultimate Doom directory when installing this downgrade patch, as this downgrade patch deletes some files and uninstalls Ultimate Doom. Only use it on a separate copy of. This is the ultimate compilation of available Doom modifications available out there, including (mostly) megawads and gameplay addons. DON'T FORGET TO CHECK THE INCLUDED STARTHERE.HTML FILE!!! IF YOU'RE EXPERIENCING PERFORMANCE ISSUE, TRY TO RESET ALL THE SETTINGS TO DEFAULT OR JUST DELETE ALL THE.INI FILES WITHIN THE ROOT DOOM FOLDER, THEN.

Alternatively, one can download Freedoom which is free and legal. This can be an option for those that are short on money, or just want to test out the Zandronum engine before making such purchases. Freedoom is what the name implies, a free and legal remake of Doom 2 for users to download. However, Freedoom is vastly different from Doom 2 and the maps are not network-compatible with Doom 2. Thus, Freedoom is not a true replacement for the original Doom 2 IWAD, and it should never be considered as such. Nonetheless, using the Freedoom IWAD will still allow the users to connect to almost any server plausible.

Zandronum can locate IWADs in several different ways. When the user executes the Zandronum binary, it will begin to look for the listed IWAD files before it further executes into any game. However, if Zandronum can not locate any IWADs, the game will never start. Listed below is ways for Zandronum to find the IWAD files:

Duplicate or move all of the files into the Zandronum directory. This method is rather common, but can cause problems if introducing more than one doom port engine or even running the older native engines or can cause more wasted space by duplicating the exact same files within the filesystem.
Inside of the config file and already modified IWADSearch.Directories paths.
Modify the configuration file. This is rather advanced but this is rather preferred to avoid conflicts and duplications within the filesystem. The initialization file houses all of the users settings within the engine and even can enforce the engine to load files that is specified; and, thus, possible for the engine to automatically detect what IWAD files are available.
1. Open the file with a text editor such as Notepad, Notepad++, VIM, etc. Don't use any word processing software!
2. Locate string: '[IWADSearch.Directories]'
3. Add: 'Path=' and the direct link to the directory that contains the IWAD file or files. Add one entry per one directory. For example:
Hard Link the IWAD to the parent directory that contains the Zandronum executable binary file. Be sure that both the filesystem uses inode addresses (Linux) or MFT entry (Windows), the kernel allows this type of linking, and that the IWAD files are within the exact same medium and not on different filesystems or partition.

Note: If purchased Doom or Doom 2 (or any supported engine that contains the IWAD file) through Steam, the directory can be found at:
- 32bit Windows OS: C:Program FilesSteamsteamappscommon
- 64bit Windows OS: C:Program Files (x86)Steamsteamappscommon

Ultimate Doom v1.9 to Doom v1.1 Downgrade
This is a program written by Lee Killough (killough@rsn.hp.com) to downgrade
Ultimate Doom 1.9 to Doom v1.1. The purpose was to enable anyone wishing to
experiment with the network packet drivers contained in v1.1 to do so by
'downgrading' their registered version of Ultimate Doom v1.9.
Patch Instructions:
1. Install or upgrade Ultimate Doom v1.9 in a new directory, henceforth
simply referred to as doom . A fresh new install is recommended. Be
careful not to use your current Ultimate Doom directory when installing
this downgrade patch, as this downgrade patch deletes some files and
uninstalls Ultimate Doom. Only use it on a separate copy of Ultimate
Doom.
2. Change the working directory to the Ultimate Doom directory.
cd doom
3. Unzip the DOWNGRAD.ZIP contents into the Ultimate Doom directory.
pkunzip downgrad.zip
4. Run the patch.bat script. This takes a minute or two, and the
shareware MPATCH program has a 5 second delay.
patch
5. Patch tries to delete some files which are present in versions 1.2 to
Ultimate Doom but are not present in v1.1 -- if they are not found,
ignore the messages, since these files are not needed anyway.
Bunch of stuff appears on screen about unregistered/shareware copy of
MDIFF -- ignore.
6. After patch is complete, run setup.exe to configure Doom v1.1.
7. If you're in DOS, Doom v1.1 will already have begun at end of setup;
if you were in a DOS window, Doom will have bombed out with 'An owner
is required for purgable blocks' error message. Restart in MS-DOS mode.
8. A new directory will be created by the setup process called C:DOOMDATA.
This is normal for v1.1 and contains the default configuration file.
Don't delete it.
9. MDIFF is a shareware program available at
