DoomMake Example WAD

by MTrop (C) 2021

What This Is

This is an example DoomMake project to show people how cool this stuff is.

First Steps

Create a file called doommake.properties and throw this stuff in there:

doommake.iwad=H:/Doom/iwads/DOOM2.WAD
doommake.run.exe=H:/DoomDev/Exes/ChocoDoom/chocolate-doom.exe
doommake.run.switch.file=-merge

You'll probably have to change those paths to the pertinent files. Note that .properties files use backslashes differently (see the Wikipedia Page). The first property is for the IWAD to use as a base for texture merging (DOOM2.WAD), and the other is for locating Chocolate Doom to test (if you don't use Chocolate Doom, remove the last line).

This file is ignored in your repository.
