on mac?

go to gog.com and buy a doom2 copy, then forget about it

search for doom2.wad and get it from the archive

get gzdoom 4.x

mkdir -r ~/Library/Application Support/GZDoom && open ~/Library/Application Support/GZDoom

put the doom2.wad in that folder

download the myhouse.pk3 from the google drive and drop it on the gzdoom app

enjoy!

Or just get freedom WADs from https://freedoom.github.io and rename freedoom2.wad to doom2.wad

As mentioned elsewhere in the thread, you can download the Windows offline installer from GOG, then use innoextract to extract the desired files: https://constexpr.org/innoextract/

A Mac GUI version of innoextract can be found here: https://macsourceports.com/utilities

Aside from Doom engine games, this also works for Build engine (Duke Nukem 3D), idTech games, and countless others. Very useful tool for being able to play these games legitimately with a modern engine.

Doesnt work for me?

[austinjp → ralfd]

At a guess, probably should be mkdir -p

[pinkcan → austinjp]

this is right – I apologise for misleading folks on creating that folder

my local alias is actually: mkdir='mkdir -pv'
