README
Doom Runner
Doom Runner is yet another launcher of common Doom source ports (like GZDoom, Zandronum, Crispy Doom, PrBoom, ...) with graphical user interface. It is written in C++ and Qt, and it is designed around the idea of presets for various multi-file modifications (Brutal Doom with mutators, Project Brutality with UDV, Complex Doom Clusterfuck, ...) to allow one-click switching between them and minimize any repetitive work.
First you perform an initial setup, setting up the paths and adding all your Doom engines and IWADs.
Then you create named presets for all your favourite modifications and assign them an engine, an IWAD and mod files.
If you wish to play multiplayer or jump into a map directly, you can do so in the second tab.
And now the launcher even has a dark theme!
Features
- Unlimited number of named presets switchable with a single-click
- Lists of IWADs and Map packs are automatically synchronized with the content of a selected directory
- Drag&Drop for easy adding of files or re-ordering them
- Ability to quickly tick or untick any files to load without the need to remove and re-add them
- Double-clicking on an WAD file will display a content of an equally named TXT file, if it exists

- Ability to directly start selected map, load selected save or record/replay a demo
- DM flags and Compatibility flags calculator with tooltips from official ZDoom wiki
- Ability to automatically put save files, demo files or screenshots in a directory named after the selected preset
- Ability to filter the saved presets using a search phrase or regular expression
