DOOMLAB

The demons of Hell have encroached the land of MythOS, and there is only one man who can stop them. You. Fight the endless onslaught of demons in BONELAB, and put an end to the hell spawn.

Overview

DOOMLAB is a partial source port, and it requires a copy of these IWADS to work:

• Doom 1, Doom Shareware, or Ultimate Doom
• Doom 2: Hell on Earth (BFG Edition, DOOM (2016), or Doom Eternal)
• The Plutonia Experiment
• TNT Evilution
• FreeDoom 1, or FreeDoom 2
• Heretic (planned)
• Hexen (planned)
• Chex Quest

Some PWAD files will load, and others will not. This is because WADs use DeHACKEd lumps, ZDOOM lumps, or GZDOOM specific lumps and/or structure.

WAD Compatibility

WAD — Compatible — Notes

| Ultimate Simpsons Doom | ✅ | PWAD uses a ZDOOM lump for custom sounds. Will work fine, but may sound... weird. | Fistful of Doom | ✅ | None | DOOM 3: Mr Smiley's Head Safari (1995) | ✅ | None | Chex Quest | ✅ | A couple of the enemies: the Cyberdemon and the Spider Mastermind, don't show up. | Ghostbusters Doom 2 | ⚠️ | Because of the lack of DeHACKEd support, enemies flicker between different sprites. | Batman Doom | ⚠️ | Lack of DeHACKEd support causes weird sprite artifacts. | myhouse.pk3 | ❌ | Has GZDOOM lumps, tags, and other unsupported features.
