Initial Release
Notes:
There is two launchers for ZDoom at the moment. one is just done in NSIS (ZDoomPortable.exe), and the other is done in AHK (DLauncher.exe). DLauncher still needs a lot of work, and if anyone feels the need to work on it, feel free to do so.
Also, IWADS go into App\IWADS . If you're looking for wads, I would have to say Freedoom which is an open implementation of the Doom wads.

Didn't work with the wad in /App/IWADS but works fine with it in the same folder as the zdoom exe
OS is windows vista home premium SP1 if that's of any importance (doubt it)
Thanks for this though
AWESOME!
Time for some dooming!
Also, I fixed DLaunchers Problem.
What you have to do is go to the .ini files in
X:\Portableapps\ZDoomPortable\app\ZDoom
and
X:\Portableapps\ZDoomPortable\app\GZDoom
open both .ini files and paste this over the original IWADSearch.Directories:
[IWADSearch.Directories]
Path=.
Path=$DOOMWADDIR
Path=$HOME
Path=$PROGDIR\..\IWADS
Do it to both ZDoom and GZDoom, put the WADS in the IWad folder in
X:\Portableapps\ZDoomPortable\app\IWADS
and DLauncher should work afterwords.
hmm, I thought i did that. I'll see if i can fix that.
EDIT: I also forgot to mention in the original post that this also includes GZDoom. to use it with the NSIS version, just copy Other\Source\ZDoomPortable.ini to the main directory. DLauncher can change between the two in the Advanced tab.
But there’s no sense crying over every mistake,
You just keep on trying till you run out of cake.
Glad to help
But I just got back from a Doom Party!
They all downloaded it and multi is great thanks to DLauncher!
What IWADs are we suppose to have?
May the Shwartz be with you
iwads are the level data for the original doom game this app is a reimplimentation of the original doom game.
your friendly neighbourhood moderator Zach Thibeau
List of Wads and what they are...
DOOM1.WAD-----------Ultimate Doom
DOOM2.WAD-----------Doom 2
DOOM.WAD------------Shareware Doom
HERETIC.WAD---------Heretic
HEXDD.WAD-----------Hexen Expansion
HEXEN.WAD-----------Hexen
PLUTONIA.WAD--------Doom: Plutonia
TNT.WAD-------------Doom: TNT
Where could I download said WADS?
May the Shwartz be with you
It's illegal to download these WADS but really, google is your friend.
Considering the .wad files are available on ID's website, I think that makes it legal to download them.
Link: ftp://ftp.idsoftware.com/idstuff/
WOW!
They actually did.
But then it's safe to say to use the DoomsDay Torrent, Google that and allt he wads are there.
I search that and get a movie torrent. Could you possibly give me a link for it.
May the Shwartz be with you
you forgot to mention Strife:
STRIFE0.WAD--------Strife Shareware
STRIFE1.WAD--------Strife
also, DOOM.WAD is the registered version.

EDIT:didn't anyone check out Freedoom? link in original post.

Sorry bout the mistakes. Kinda had to do it on the top of my head.
Also If you choose a game on the list can click start, it will play the last game.
"YOU HAVE TO DOUBLE CLICK THE GAME THEN START"
Sorry bout the caps. It's important
also never heard of strife
gatta get it
hmm, that seems to be a problem. besides for that, how do you like it?
anyway, try this fix: http://cubegames.net/taneth/uploads/DLauncher.exe

Loving it much!
It rules :3
Now I got doom in school too
got some friends to play on free time too
It crashed my vista when I played on it with this.
May the Shwartz be with you
hmm, thats strange. especially how i tested it for 4 hours on vista home premium
but on that note, a lot of games/programs crash on vista.
But there’s no sense crying over every mistake,

...have a point. I might try it again to see if it was just a fluke.
May the Shwartz be with you
Is there a reason why it always fails when I try to save?
May the Shwartz be with you
are you using the NSIS version, or DLauncher?
But there’s no sense crying over every mistake,
You just keep on trying till you run out of cake.
I run the DLauncher and after each level, it says that it could not save.
May the Shwartz be with you
Here is the picture:
Cannot Save
In case your wondering, I am playing Chex Quest.
May the Shwartz be with you
new version, should fix your problem.
But there’s no sense crying over every mistake,
You just keep on trying till you run out of cake.
Awesome!
I was getting tired of not saving during my Nightmare run on Doom and Doom 2
Works for me on work pc/non-admin rights. Maybe include the freedoom wad for pre-release package?
PortableApps.com Advocate
possibly. I would have to talk to john about wether or not its allowed.
quote (from http://www.nongnu.org/freedoom/download.html):
Complete IWAD - located under freedoom-iwad Complete independent Doom II game. Ultimate IWAD - located under freedoom-iwad/ultimate Provides all the resources found in The Ultimate Doom. Allows the full catalog of PWADs for Doom 1 to be used. "Demo" IWAD - located under freedoom-iwad/shareware Cut-down version of Freedoom with a smaller download size. The demo IWAD contains the same complement of resources found in the original "shareware" version of Doom. FreeDM - located under freedm FreeDM is a project whose goal is to create some high-quality deathmatch levels. It uses resources from the rest of the Freedoom project to create a stand-alone deathmatch IWAD.so if we can we should be able to get the Complete and Ultimate versions in to provide Doom 1 and 2.
also, forgot to mention that DLauncher now has PWAD support (same as IWADS, except they're in App\PWADS)

new version, has level warp under the Single Player tab. quick note on it, if you get an error saying that the level doesn't exist, swap it to use the other level type.
Explanation: Doom 2 has a different level layout. instead of using episodes (E1M2) like Doom 1, it has its maps in groups of 32 (MAP16). Doom-style warp is done via
-warp 1 2whereas Doom2-style warp is done with-warp 16. So using Doom-style warp (-warp 1 2) on Doom 2 won't work, as E1M2 doesn't exist within the Doom 2 IWAD (but MAP16 does).But there’s no sense crying over every mistake,

I just downloaded ZDoom, for the first time ever, in fact, in this portable version. I haven't played Doom at all, either (a little Woolfenstein 3D in middle school, though). I didn't see any problems when I was running it. Nice work! Especially the smiley in the "About" section of the program.
Hey! Where'd it go?
Cool, thanks for testing it. There hasn't been any ZDoom updates in a while, hopefully randy (the dev) is still working on it.

I believe this will need to be updated if still in development.
May the Shwartz be with you
I would like to update this if nobody else is going to. Is that ok with you TaffinFoxcroft?
I'm a doom freak so when i found this back here i lost my mind. I bought the original doom,hexen and heretic games from id software back in the day so when i attempted using the iwads,i found that the dlauncher works perfectly and recreated the original doom on my flash drive. then i went looking for the freedoom wads and i compiled a 2 gig database of them. So what i have left is a whole gigabyte of pwads that work with dlauncher and with the original iwads,it recreated the game and expansion pwads as one entity. As far as i can tell, i perfected dlauncher 2.3.1 cause it works on windows 98-win7,and the finished game is 1.3 gigs. all of it works perfectly. the origianl game iwads and the freedom iwads all work and i been having a field day ever since. Thank you for all of your hard work making doom portable possible. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions. you guys truly rock!!
The release team is currently going through the list of applications in testing and preparing applications for release. As a result, we need to know if this is still being developed.
Prapper ended up taking over this one, his updated version is here.
