gmDoom Maps

THIS ADDON WILL NOT WORK WITHOUT gmDoom! You can get it here.

gmDoom Maps is an addon that allows you to load Ultimate Doom and Doom II maps into Garry's Mod. These maps are not distributed as Source Engine BSPs, but are instead loaded directly from the original WADs. This means that you will not find them in the map list.

Setting up your WADs:

Adding gmDoom's required IWAD to your garrysmod folder will allow you to play maps from that WAD. You can place additional WADs into your garrysmod folder for a greater selection of maps. For more information, refer to the gmDoom addon description.

Loading a Doom map:

To load a Doom map, you must first start an appropriate Source Engine map to act as a 'host space' for it. While any map meeting the size and open space requirements would work, gm_flatgrass is the recommended host. Once you are in-game, you can find the new 'Doom Maps' tab in your spawnmenu (Q menu). From there, a map can be chosen and loaded. The map will be sent to all clients, and then spawned. Note that if you are playing on a server, only administrators can load maps.

Playing the Doom map:

Once the map has loaded, you will find it near the origin point of the host map. On any compatible map (including gm_flatgrass), this will be in the sky. While you can no-clip to it and start playing, this isn't recommended. Instead, spawn the teleporter entity, and step on it. This will take you to the map, as well as change your collision hull to match that of Doomguy.

Known Problems:
There are a few known issues with this addon. Please do not report anything on this list.

• Doom corpses are not affected by moving floors
  
• Some Doom entities are too wide, and block movement of doors, floors, and ceilings
  
• Floors will sometimes become non-solid if too many entities are intersecting the sector, and objects will 'sink' into it
  
• 2 Sided linedefs that should be solid are not. It's either that or they block bullets.
  
• Minor tears in floors and ceilings
  
• Floor and ceiling mesh generation creates deformities on maps with bad nodes or unclosed sectors
  
• Entities do not share the light level of their sectors
  
• Enemies don't use doors
  
• If you load a map for a version of Doom other than the one currently loaded into gmDoom, there will be missing texture problems.
  
• Some maps have their own bugs, and will exhibit strange behaviors. Do not report these types of issues, as there really isn't much I can do about it. If these problems bother you, you can always edit the map with any Doom map editor and fix them yourself.
  
• Rendering the map can be performance intensive. Combined with the doom monster AI being expensive to do in Source's true 3D environments, this can result in very intense lag. You can greatly reduce the lag by running a dedicated server.

If you are having a problem that is NOT on this list, please DO report it!
