| The Plutonia Experiment | Dario Casali & Milo Casali | `PLUTONIA.WAD` | |

### KEX Engine - Getting the downloaded bnetwads
**Prerequisite:** You first need to download the addons from the featured mods list.
Go from the `Main Menu` -> Select a game like DOOM II -> `Mods Menu` -> `Featured Mods`
Some of the mods you will also need to click on `Mods Menu` -> `Browse` and search for them if they are no longer on the `Featured Mods`
list to match the Unity set.
#### Where are the bnetwads located?
Each `.wad` downloaded have it's own sub-folder based on an internal ID and contains the `.wad` file and a `index.json` file.
Opening the `index.json` file in each folder will tell you what game the `.wad` is.
**Example SIGILII in Steam:**
`~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/2280/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/Saved Games/Nightdive Studios/DOOM/bnetwads/585d6a05-e50c-4ad7-aac7-726d35d23a50/`
Contains the `index.json` and `585d6a05-e50c-4ad7-aac7-726d35d23a50.wad`
Opening the `index.json`:
```
{
"id" : "585d6a05-e50c-4ad7-aac7-726d35d23a50", <-- Mod's BethestaNet ID
"title" : "SIGIL II", <-- Mod Title
"version" : "2ed265fd-6fdf-45a5-a078-35811549ce3b", <-- Current uploaded version (for updates)
"wad" : "585d6a05-e50c-4ad7-aac7-726d35d23a50.wad" <-- The Wad file
}
```
It reveals that `585d6a05-e50c-4ad7-aac7-726d35d23a50.wad` is in fact `SIGILII.WAD`.
You can then copy and paste it into `retrodeck/roms/doom/` and rename it to `SIGILII.WAD`.

#### How to extract them?
Each file is located in the `WADs/` folder from the step above with an ID number that you can check on the list.
**Example: Sigil**
Sigil has the ID of `4` and is then located in the `/WADs/4/` folder.
Within that folder there are images and also a file without an extension just called `4`.
That `4` file is the `SIGIL.WAD` file.
All you need to do is copy the ``/WADs/4/4` file to `retrodeck/roms/doom` then rename it `SIGIL.WAD`.
#### DOOM Unity Version - Extra: Windows tips
If you want to move the WADs from a Windows installations instead you can use this software:
[Unity Doom Ripper](https://github.com/kevansevans/Unity-Doom-Ripper)
The WADs are located in
`My Documents\Saved Games\id Software\DOOM 2\WADs\`
or
`My Documents\Saved Games\id Software\DOOM Classic\WADs\`
Then just transfer them with a USB Stick or another way to your Linux machine.
