						      							DooM Megapack
						   						     	30 April 2020

						   						       -=Description=-

   This is a modpack I've made for my friends and decided to post on /vr/ to make it easier for people to get into some old megawads. Most of WADS (except for Vinesauce wads) have been tested and have a detailed description, a few screenshots and in case of Cacowards winners a review from DoomWorld. Patches, if found, were applied if needed. In some cases wads have been fixed manually, for example to insert sprites that previously were being inserted using a tool from '94.
   I didn't include multiplayer-only content, this pack is SP oriented. I did, however, include some outstanding DM maps that can be played with Supreme Invasion mod, that makes use of additional player spawnpoints to spawn enemies in waves.

														-=Downloads=-

   Due to the sheer size of this pack, the fact that Launcher files change and I might need to fix Launcher files if needed, I had to split it into two parts:

	- Launcher with a database and sourceports (99mB):
		https://drive.google.com/open?id=16LvuRAZcmAA1UdBXH2jiocSVRfE6ZkgE
		https://mega.nz/file/ogJ0ka5b#xuFJNn8wF3t_kBAS30bAvDFWh8G1e4WdR27Nmtg9fv8

	- Game files (12gB):
		magnet:?xt=urn:btih:VJVSXXNPYSOSIYH23DAQ7L7YLPLZUTUW
		or use .torrent file in the archive with launcher.
	It takes a moment for torrent client to locate seeders.


						      						 -=Installation=-

   Unpack DoomPack.7z and download torrent into the GameFiles folder.
   zip files from torrent should be placed right into 'GameFiles' folder with no additional subfolders.


														-=Notes=-

   - Some wads may still have mentions of my saves and stats that I've created during testing;
   - GZDoom was used as a default engine, other engines used only if necessary, but you can launch wads however you want, it's just a default value;
   - Due to bug in Doom Launcher adding new wads into load order causes it to remove all flags from "individual files", doublecheck before running. Similarly, when editing list of mods that runs by default with a sourceport, newly added files appear unchecked in old wads. This has been reported to dev.
   - Default resolution is windowed 1280x720;
   - "Favorites" tab is not complete, just a list of wads I recommended my friend to play;
   - Don't be afraid to add new mods, obviously, just a shame that after update to the pack you'll have to do it again;
   - I'll update it after next Cacowards;
   - Some wads have been updated to fix old DEHACKED scripts, but if some shit is still broken - play them in 'Compendium' terawad;
   - MIDI packs included for some wads if I managed to stumble upon them;
   - Multiple versions of some wads are included, pay attention to 'Profile' list when launching some wads;
   - In case GZDoom fucks up your config I've made a backup config file gzdoom_backup.ini;
   - Some of packs were made for TNT\Plutonia, I've tried my best to set IWAD properly for them, but I might've missed some;
   - Some mods, namely Phobia and Phobia: The Age, weren't included because new Doom Legacy port doesn't support mp3 and converting music into wav made wad 400mB, too much if you ask me. Old versions of DL didn't work for me at all and in other ports scripts are broken;
   - Play more DooM.
