UZDoom??

[ak1dd]

Now that there is the fork of GZDoom that is likely to be at least as popular, I couldn't make it work with twad. It seems to find the uzdoom executable but the commandline doesn't add it? the main twad window shows ~$ -savedir /home/MINE/.config/twad/savegames and thats it...

"Since UZDoom is a recent fork, its default paths for configuration files and game data (WADs) follow the newer freedesktop specification, which is different from what older launchers like twad might expect by default."

Thanks for reporting. Will look into this.

Hey, just gave a test. I did two things for the setup:

1. In the options menu ("o") I added uzdoom
2. In the game edit screen ("e" on game) I switched the engine to uzdoom

... works just fine. Even quickloads the last savegame from gzdoom and using the old config from gzdoom. Did you do these steps, if not could you try to replicate?

In terms of config file I am not sure why twad should have a problem. In the very beginning of the I edited engine config files directly with wad paths but then started to just use the DOOMWADDIR environment variable instead which makes that obsolete.
Aside from that the engine manages the configs itself or gets a path for it from twad with the "-config" flag which still seems to work fine. So I don't see an issue here.

I will include uzdoom in the default config soon. But that only really happens for fresh installs where no config exists, so the manual entry in options is necessary.
