Fixed wrong paths and improved explanations a bit
The paths how they were mentioned were incorrect. They are based on an older implementation that didn't persist the config.

GZDoom Flatpak edition

Installation of gamedata

  • Copy any commercial iwad into the folder ~/.var/app/org.zdoom.GZDoom/.config/gzdoom/
  • Optionally, configure the ~/.var/app/org.zdoom.GZDoom/.config/gzdoom/gzdoom.ini file to load other directories

Run with custom wads

Just as with the standalone GZDoom, you can pass commands through using the command line. If you want to play custom wads, you can add them to a sub-directory of /gzdoom/ and then you can directly access then from the terminal:

flatpak run org.zdoom.GZDoom -file ~/.var/app/org.zdoom.GZDoom/.config/gzdoom/pwads/PL2.WAD
cd ~/.var/app/org.zdoom.GZDoom/.config/gzdoom/pwads/
flatpak run org.zdoom.GZDoom -file ./PL2.WAD

For more info, see:

Accessing files on unconventional spots

If you want to access wads in different locations, you might have to adjust the Flatpak sandboxing permissions. You can easily do that like this:

flatpak override org.zdoom.GZDoom --filesystem=/OTHER/LOCATION/WITH/WADS --user
