Hi, prboom 2.4.2 linux, when the character picks up blue health sphere, rad suit, or map enhancement item, game exits with: W_GetNameForNum: dsgetpow not found. Happens with both Doom and DoomII wads, registered versions. Is there a fix for this?

Linux, happens playing both doom and doomII. Both are the registered versions of the game. When the game character picks up a powerup like the blue health ball, or rad suit, or the map thing, the game exits with W_Getnumforname: dsgetpow not found. I have read the READMEs, they make no mention of this. I have searched this mailing list archive, and google, to no avail. :( |

Anything else unusual - would you have the French or German version of the game (I think they have a slightly different iwad)? Ideally give us the md5sum of the IWAD files, please, so we can verify if it's a standard version or not. E.g. % md5sum /usr/local/share/games/doom/doom2.wad 25e1459ca71d321525f84628f45ca8cd /usr/local/share/games/doom/doom2.wad is Doom2 1.9. What Linux distro, what platform, & did you compile PrBoom youself or are you using an RPM? > When the game character picks up a powerup like the blue health ball, > or rad suit, or the map thing, the game exits with > W_Getnumforname: dsgetpow not found. This for Doom2 too? If you have an early doom1 IWAD I would expect this, but I thought all Doom2 had dsgetpow. Hmm. |

Okay - that is too old, you need a recent IWAD (v1.4 or 1.6 IIRC). The patches to upgrade to v1.9 are all available on the 'net (for DOS, though). > The doom2.wad comes from the windoom cd, I don't know the version, > strings and hexdump don't show it. This looks like the standard v1.9, from the size and checksum. Renaming that doom2.wad.orig to doom2.wad, try explicitely giving prboom that file as the iwad (prboom -iwad doom2.wad) to make sure it is picking up the right file. >> What Linux distro, what platform, & did you compile PrBoom youself or >> are you using an RPM? > > Slackware Linux 10.2 on a P2 400 intel, prboom 2.4.2, compiled from src. > |
