Hey, guys,
Couldn't find a good response out there. To load WADs, I just drag them onto the executable, right? (or do command-line stuff, I know). The WAD loads, shows the creator's splash screen, but when starting a new game, it only shows the vanilla game's episodes...and if i press nothing, then splash screen changes to the vanilla Doom credits. What am I doing wrong, here?
Thanks so much

Re: First-timer, dumb issue
Most WADs are loaded with Doom 2. It sounds like you're using Doom 1.
The majority of WADs will only work with either Doom 1 or Doom 2, and it is usually stated in the attached text file. If not, look for the map replacement list for the WAD - Doom1 wads will use ExMx for its map naming scheme, whereas Doom2 mods typically use MAPxx.
If you're missing Doom2, you can download FreeDoom Phase 2, here.

That's exactly what it was. Thanks for that, Eruanna. I'm ready to enjoy hours of more Doom
