I am looking for some good source ports of the classic doom to linux. I have tried chocolate doom and prboom on a different platform. I know, I will need a howto or at least some help with the installation.
The Features I am looking for: Mouse Mouse changible X & Y (x for running infront and backwards & y for left and right running.) I am pretty sure chocolate doom had that. I tried installing some port of doom onto my fedora box (maybe skulltag???) and it almost made me cry. I couldn't get it working because of stupid libs. T.T Please, if anyone can help. It would be awesome. Thank you. |

Hey, why not download dos box http://www.dosbox.com/download.php?main=1 and then install the actual game using that. If you don't have doom then there is a free download at takegame.com http://takegame.ru/shooter/gam/doom1.zip
basically once you have installed dosbox, extract the .zip of doom to a folder that you can remember eg. /home/ben/doom/ then open dosbox and type mount c /home/ben/doom/ after that it should say something like "home/ben/doom is mounted as drive c" after this type c ![]() this should give you a standard dos prompt. then simply run DOOM.EXE by typing DOOM.EXE and voila, the setup for doom should appear. follow through with the instructions and there you have it, DOOM on Linux ![]() Hope This Helps

What about JDooM? It is written in Java and takes original WADs to OpenGL level. It also supports Hexen and Heretic. I recently bought Hexen directly from iDSoftware (as download), and replayed it in 3D using JDoom! http://www.doomsdayhq.com/ |
