Open zdoom with Steam?

[Azypop]

Don't give me anything else besides zdoom. I like zdoom and I'm not going to change it. Anyway, is there a way I can open zdoom with steam, or do I just have to click on zdoom? I want it to count my hours, so, any help is appreciated. Thanks.

Goto bottom left hand corner of Steam > Add a Game > Add a non-Steam game

Keep in mind that games not on steam will not log in your hours into your game page.

No, thats not what I wanted. I wanted to make zdoom open when I open doom

Unpack zdoom to base folder, then backup dosbox.exe and rename zdoom.exe to dosbox.exe. It may also be needed (or not needed) to change text in all .bat files in ultimate doom folder to ".\base\dosbox.exe -iwad doom.wad" (without quotes).
And don't forget to disable autoupdate.

Wow, thanks!

If I just change the name to dosbox.exe and delete dosbox, it says missing executable. Did I mess up somewhere. If its not that, where are the bat files, I cant find them. Or do I delete all the other dosbox related files?

.bat files are one folder level up, in <steam folder>\steamapps\common\ultimate doom folder. It seems they hold data transmitted to executable AND its location, but, on the other hand, I played with them a bit and nothing changed, so maybe it's a rudiment from previous launch method. In any case, just check everything again: all zdoom files must be in place, zdoom.exe must be dosbox.exe, etc. Any little mistake can mess everything up, I suppose. All I did is just checked and it worked, so I am not sure what could happen in your case (
