My older cousin handed me down his registered copy of Doom II - Hell on Earth. Will the wad from it work in TUCQ? Thanks,

Lemme check real quick.....
Nope. I forgot.... Chex Quest wads use the E1M1 system,(e1m1,e1m2, so on)
while doom2 maps are coded as map01, map02, and so on...maybe I could work on some sort off chexy...doom2ish mod.

It won't, not without heavy converting. If you try it, it spits out some error. I can't remember which one, but TUCQ in it's current and planned forms WILL NOT WORK WITH DOOM 2!

However, and I don't know how well they work, supposedly there are programs that convert DooM WADs to DooM 2 WADS. I've never tried these, and I don't know anyone that has. If you're interested, try checkin out places like DooMWorld.com, NewDooM.com, etc.

Or you could just Google it ^_^

Okay, my friend managed to lend me a copy of The Ultimate Doom WAD to see if it would work; It still doesn't work. R_Int Missing textures in LITE_4 Shows. I followed the directions on TUCQ's site, but don't know the difference between WADS and such. A little help would be appreciated.

You actually don't need the ultimate doom Iwad to run TUCQ. What I do, and have done before I heard about the Fix of renaming chex.wad to doom.wad is this:

1.)Make sure you have cquestp2b2.wad in your legacy folder, but don't worry about it for now. Start Legacy Launcher.

2.) Run Chex.wad through legacy launcher (Depending on which version you have you might need to rename it to doom.wad)

3.) When it starts, choose a new game and choose your dificulty level. You should start on E1M1 of the original chex quest.

4.) In the console, type this: ADDFILE CQUESTP2B2.WAD

The outcome looks like this:

Don't fear, as this is normal, all you have to do now is type this in the console:
MAP E1M1
And you're good to go ^_^

If that still doen't work, come talk to me in my chat room on my site sometime or...im me or something.

here is a slightly easier way:

1.) have both doom.wad (either the ultimate doom or chex.wad renamed) and cquestp2b2.wad in your legacy folder.

2.) go to "game mode" and click on the little "..." in the top left corner and locate legacy.exe (you may have done this already)

3.) still in "Game Mode," click the "..." to the right of the first WAD line.

4.) select the doom.wad in your legacy folder.

5.) exit game mode by pressing "ok"

6.) go to "single map..." on the main menu

7.) check the "additional files" check box"

8.) click the "+" to the right of the additional flies line

9.) select cquestp2b2.wad in your legacy folder.

10.) select your difficulty level, level, and flemoid options from the pull-down menus

11.) click "ok" and TUCQ should start up on the map you chose
