Autoloading

This page describes a feature currently under development that is not yet in release versions.

Autoloading allows a set of preferred WAD and Dehacked files to be loaded every time the game is run. This feature is particularly useful for various gameplay enhancement mods which subtly improve the base game.

Configuration

Configuring a file to be autoloaded is a simple matter of copying it to the autoload folder; one is automatically created for each IWAD file. The location depends on the operating system; the following is the location for several operating systems:

macOS

[home]/Library/Application Support/chocolate-doom/autoload/doom.wad

Linux/Unix

$HOME/.local/share/chocolate-doom/autoload/doom.wad

Autoload can be temporarily disabled with the -noautoload command line argument.
