Trying to play pk3 files on gzdoom with a chromeos linux flatpak

[SmallMenace]

I'm trying to play a mod called "Too Many Super Shotguns" but I can't figure out how you run mods and I have consulted the Internet multiple times. Is there any way someone can help

That's a bit of an odd problem, since I have no idea how Chrome OS behaves on a technical level.

Basic sanity check

Can you run a normal game of Doom 2, confirming that graphics and all work?

Troubleshooting

First, you'll have to move the mod inside the game directory which is here:

~/.var/app/org.zdoom.GZDoom/.config/gzdoom

For orderliness, I have a folder called pwad where I keep all my mods. Then, can you now try to run the mod like this.

flatpak run org.zdoom.GZDoom './PWAD/mod.pk3'

@SmallMenace (btw try replying to issues in the browser billy)

You would have to exclusively try and set up GZDoom in the Linux Files section of your Chromebook.

I don't really know how ChromeOS works in terms of its Linux Mode (because it installs Linux on top of ChromeOS)

If I were you, I would have tried to use sudo apt install gzdoom instead of using Flatpak because it can be a pain in the ass to set up anything using Flatpak. (in ChromeOS not standard Linux)

the location of the apps files can be found with

$ dpkg -L {org.zdoom.GZDoom or GZDoom idk)

It will give you the directories associated with GZDoom. Most importantly, if you find the CONFIG file, then you could change the mods directory so that it can load them everytime GZDoom is opened.

Like @Eonfge said, you could run GZDoom with flatpak but, you could modify the config file so that it will run automatically.

You could also try and install Wine to use the Windows version. (which is just drag and drop)
