GAMEINFO can't find file

The first questions would be where these files are, where your MAPINFO-containing file is, and where GZDoom is.

Nothing as far as I can see, as long as the resource files are in the same folder as the pwad.

If they are not in the same folder then you have to also include the path to the extra resources.

For example, both of these are working for me:

• LOAD = "ZDCC_RES.wad", "IKDTEX.WAD"
• LOAD = "D:\TEXTURE_PACKS\ZDCC_RES\ZDCC_RES.wad", "D:\TEXTURE_PACKS\IKDTEX\IKDTEX.WAD"

edit:

Mind you, this is the standalone GAMEINFO lump

and not the MAPINFO/GAMEINFO definition

That's okay for personal use, but for anything meant to be distributed, assuming people have the same directory layout as you is a bad idea.

For example, loading D:\TEXTURE_PACKS\ZDCC_RES.WAD isn't going to work if the file is in C:\Games\Resources\Textures -- or if you're on Linux.

Very true.

I assumed that TheMindbender was playing a pwad on his computer with those resources.

There was no mention of distribution of a pwad, in which case all the resource files have

to be included in the distribution.
