Simon's Destiny not detected

[bferguson3]

Awesome work so far, been having a blast.

Unfortunately one mod I've tried to play, Simon's Destiny, doesn't seem to be recognized. I haven't tried launching it with a manual command yet, but it would be great if this had native support (like Hocus Pocus!)

Thanks!

Can you elaborate? Presumably you have put the wad file in the mods directory... does it not show in the "other" section?

Hi Grant,

Thanks for replying. So the problem is twofold, turns out:

1. Simon's Destiny is actually an .ipk3, which is some zdoom modified pk3 format which includes some extra information (not entirely sure). Looks like the launcher only looks for .pk3.
2. Renaming the ipk3 to pk3 gets it to display in the zdoom launcher, but attempting to start it up crashes to home.

Let me know what else I can do to help test.

1. You assumption here is incorrect according to the code: private string[] coreGameExtensions = { ".wad", ".ipk3", ".ipk7", ".iwad", ".pk3", ".pk7", ".deh" }; private string[] modExtensions = { ".zip", ".ipk3", ".pk3", ".wad", ".iwad", ".pk7", ".ipk7", ".deh" };

are allowed. Make sure you have the latest version of the launcher installed as this did change in on of the releases.

2. With it correctly labelled as a ipk3, see if it now loads.

Looking at the page, this should actually be put in the wads folder since it doesn't need a core game to function:

• Standalone? So i don't need Doom2 to run it, right? Correct! Just grab Gzdoom, drop Castlevania.ipk3 in and you're ready to start your quest!

I've actually played this so I know it does work.

You're correct - I was on the most recent version and it was in the wads folder, but it was apparently a corrupted version of the ipk3 somehow! I redownloaded it and it works.

Thanks! (closing)
