- Final Doom is also available to owners of Doom Classic and Doom II Classic as a free add-on. Requires a Bethesda.net account to download.
Version differences
Some copies of the id Anthology version contain an updated Final Doom; the rest uses the original. The GOG.com release uses this alternate version.[3]
- The engine internal version is still 1.9, and likewise the same executable is used for both IWADs.
- The teleportation bug introduced in the original Final Doom was fixed.
- The bug with skies never changing was fixed.
- The missing yellow key in TNT MAP31 was fixed.
- Missing deathmatch starts in both TNT: Evilution and The Plutonia Experiment were added.
- Executable expects 3 demos again to resolve issues with IWADs other than Ultimate Doom. As a result, Ultimate Doom will only show the first 3 demos and it won't crash on IWADs where the fourth demo is missing.
Essential improvements
Patches
All patches for the retail versions of Final Doom (as well as Doom and Doom II: Hell on Earth) can be found here.
Disable vertical mouse movement (DOS)
- Game forces vertical mouse movement (forward and backward movement via mouse).
|
Automating novert in DOSBox (Steam release)[4]
|
- novert is a program that disables vertical mouse input.
- Download novert and extract
novert.com in <path-to-game> alongside DOOM2.EXE.
- Edit
plutonia.conf, plutoniam.conf, tnt.conf, and tntm.conf with a text editor, and in the [Autoexec] section, add novert.com before the line calling the game's executable.
- Save the changes in the
*.conf files and close.
|
Since the release of the engine's source code, various source ports have been released. See the link above for details and recommendations.
Enhancement mods
DOS and all source ports
- Minor Sprite Fixing Project - Corrects sprite offsets and other graphical errors. Compatible with both original DOS release and source ports.
- Perkristian hi-res Doom sound pack - The hi-res sound pack contains remastered versions of the Doom sound effects which have been remade at higher sampling rates (Doom's original sound effects were sampled at 11025 Hz, which is considered fairly low-quality nowadays).
ZDoom-based source ports
- Master Levels Menu Interface - An in-game menu that serves to replace the old DOS program that would launch a chosen WAD of the Master Level for Doom II expansion. This mod allows you to play them in one sitting without restarting the game or loading each individual WAD file.
- WadSmoosh - Combines all the official classic Doom IWADs (Doom, Doom II: Hell on Earth, Master Levels for Doom II, and Final Doom) the user can provide, as well as the No Rest for the Living WAD from Doom 3: BFG Edition and the SIGIL WAD released for Doom's 25th anniversary, into a single PK3 IWAD with each game selectable as episodes. The bonus secret levels from the Xbox port of Doom 3 (which can be downloaded from here) and the widescreen assets from the 2020 Unity re-releases can also be integrated.[5]
- WidePix - A collection of 2D widescreen replacement graphics that faithfully extends the original 4:3 assets up to widescreen resolutions. These differ from the unrelated widescreen graphics featured in the 2020 Unity ports as they are built from the ground up, support up to 21:9 resolutions, and feature an animated intermission screen for Doom's Inferno episode. Included with GZDoom v4.5.0. Can be used with WadSmoosh v1.3 without implementing the 2020 Unity re-releases' widescreen assets.[5]
- Roland SC-55 music packs - Soundtrack for Doom II recorded on an authentic SC-55, the midi player for which the soundtrack was mixed on. Choose either OGG or FLAC; MP3 does not support proper looping.
- Smooth Doom - Smooth Doom is a spriting project/general enhancement that adds newly drawn frames to all of DOOM's weapons and actors.
- Cblood - Changes the blood color of monsters to match their sprite counterparts (e.g. Cacodeamon now has blue blood) without replacing actors.
- RetroShader - A shader mod for GZDoom that replicates the low-resolution appearance and color depth of vanilla Doom without lowering its resolution or rendering scale.
- Thematically Improved Mouse Cursors - Adds themed cursors for Doom, Strife, Heretic, Hexen and Chex Quest.
Any source port
- Widescreen Status Bar - Designed for compatible source ports that support widescreen resolutions. In addition to removing the brick patterns that appear on the side of the bar when upscaling it, it also helps prevent graphical glitches that sometimes occurs from the upscaling process. Some source ports may require adjusting the status bar upscaling size manually in their respective options menu to retain the intended aspect-ratio.

Yellow keycard missing in MAP31 from TNT: Evilution
- This bug has been patched in some releases of the id Anthology version of Final Doom; GOG.com and the downloadable version in Doom Classic and Doom II Classic carries the bug fixed version.[15]
The yellow keycard in MAP31: Pharaoh from TNT: Evilution is missing due to it being accidentally flagged as a multiplayer-only item, making it impossible to complete the level with 100% completion without resorting to cheats.[16]
|
Use the official patch .WAD file[citation needed]
|
- Download the PWAD file here.
- Extract
TNT31.WAD in the same folder as DOOM2.EXE.
- Use the
-file TNT31.WAD command line parameter to load the fix.
Example:
DOOM2.EXE -file TNT.WAD TNT31.WAD
Notes
- To automate this process on the Steam version of Final Doom, edit
tnt.conf and tntm.conf with a text editor, and under the [Autoexec] section, find the line calling the executable and add TNT31.WAD after DOOM2.EXE -file TNT.WAD.
