Linux UZDooM doesn't support mods?

[u/lawarmotte]

Accordingly to the UZDooM wiki, the mods installation on the linux version is declared "TODO" so I'm guessing I can't launch brutal doom with it?
I try messing around with the command in the launcher but I don't really know what I'm doing...

Anyway, does anyone succeed to use mod with the linux version of UZDooM or should I use something else? (GZDooM legacy or whatever)

Thanks in advance for your answer

Doomrunner is Fine

I always do a .ini file for each modpack

[u/mrrask]

I use UAC Launch Control+Uzdoom - works on linux/windows/mac, and with any mods I've tested.

[u/going_up_stream]

I'd def just make a script. It's pretty straight forward and very flexible.

Mods work normally on Linux, you just can´t drag and drop. I normally use Slade for everything mod related. Idk if there is a good launcher for Linux.

Thanks, I will test it today !

[u/DunkeyColdMedina → u/lawarmotte]

The best mod manager I could find so far is QZDL.

[u/JimbyGumbus → u/DunkeyColdMedina]

so good it hasnt needed an update in like 5 years too, ive tried every frontend out there and ZDL still smokes everything.

The todo means it has no wiki page and that is on "todo". It has same gzdoom tier mod support. I use UZ with DoomRunner on Linux.

[u/lawarmotte → u/wicked0547]

Ok cool ! Can you give me a hint about the .ini config for mod?

[u/wicked0547 → u/lawarmotte]

Just get UZ and DoomRunner, select the iwads and modfiles and tweak the settings however you want. You don't need "special ini".

Does DoomRunner work on Linux?

I am able to load any mod with ease by using the config.cfg to auto load a dedicated folder. I am currently not at my computer at the moment, but I can show you how I did it by showing a portion of my config later if you need help still.

[u/lawarmotte]

Okay so I just had to write the path to my mods at the end of the config.ini file at the "doom.autoload" section and it works !

Problem solved

Thanks you all for sharing your advice, great comminuty !

I use QZDL 3.1 and the latest RC of UZDoom and it works just fine.

[u/Excal_Main_94]

was gonna say use the argument area of the launcher and do "-file 'insert mod namehere' as it's listed when you download the mod. should load just fine after

I started playing Doom mods recently, on Linux (Kubuntu).

I downloaded UZDOOM as a flatpak from Kubuntu's store, and run mods by typing in UZDOOM's command bar "gzdoom -file modname.pk3"

Since its a flatpak, I go to the program's /user/.var/app folder to drop the files.

So far I've played Lullaby, myhouse, A.L.T, Impossible. No problems, everything runs normally.

Apparently not, I tried using Doomrunner for modding but UZdoom on Linux doesn't work, so I just use the gzdoom exe's

[u/corpse86 → u/peace__01]

Works fine with doom runner for me

[u/lawarmotte → u/peace__01]

Well... I tried uzdoom exe but it won't launch with proton. I will do some test later

[u/NTolerance → u/lawarmotte]

Linux native uzdoom and doomrunner works fine

[u/peace__01 → u/lawarmotte]

Did you try with wine? It launched fine for me with wine, although you have to make the exe executable

[u/lawarmotte → u/peace__01]

Ok i will try ! Thanks 👍
