A mod loader for DOOM (2016).
Installation: Right-click DOOM (2016) in your Steam library, and choose "Manage" > "Browse local files" to open a File Explorer window in your DOOM (2016) installation folder. Download "DOOMModLoader.zip" from [the Releases page], and extract it into that folder.
Usage: Place unextracted mod zips into a "Mods" folder in your DOOM (2016) installation, and run DOOMModLoader to install them. To uninstall mods, move them out of the "Mods" folder and run DOOMModLoader again.
After running DOOMModLoader once, a "DOOMModLoader Settings.txt" file will be created, which you can edit with a raw text editor to change certain settings.
🐧 Note: On Linux, you should right-click DOOMModLoader and choose "Run in Konsole", or otherwise run it in a terminal.
[The Releases page] also has a download called "Tools.zip". This contains all tools in this repository, including...
- DOOMExtract: A command-line tool for extracting DOOM (2016) resources, necessary if you want to create your own mods.
- DOOMModLoader: See above.
- idCrypt: A command-line tool for decrypting certain binary files into plain text, and vice-versa. Only available for Windows. On Linux, use [brunoanc/idCryptRust] instead.
To compile your own versions of these tools locally, you can use .NET 8.0 SDK to build DOOMExtract and DOOMModLoader with dotnet publish "./DOOMExtract.csproj" --no-self-contained and likewise for DOOMModLoader, and use MinGW-w64 to build idCrypt with x86_64-w64-mingw32-gcc "./idCrypt.c" -o "./idCrypt.exe" -lbcrypt -Os.
Alternatively, simply fork this repository and push a commit to any branch. This will trigger [an automated build].
