If you have some DOOM levels but would like to convert them to use the new ZDOOM features in HEXEN mode, here’s what you do:

For DOOM - Run the DOOM.WAD through ZWADCONV to make a new IWAD, let’s call it DOOM1Z.WAD For DOOM2 - Run the DOOM.WAD through ZWADCONV to make a new IWAD, let’s call it DOOM2Z.WAD |

Open DeePsea and select the ZDOOMHEXEN project with DOOM2Z.WAD as the IWAD or DOOM1Z.WAD as the IWAD. If you like, you can make a copy of the ZDOOMHEXEN project and call it ZDOOMHEXEN1. Then make DOOM1Z.WAD the iwad for one and DOOM2Z.WAD the IWAD for the other. |
