Any hope for DOOM64 WAD Gzdoom support?

Yeah, KEX is good, but Gzdoom has more options and modding stuff.

Would be up to the creators of GZDoom to update it for use/compatibility

I noticed playing this game that the weapon models are very rough looking compared to the rest of the game. Its like they atilising.

theyve had many years to add support for it back when Doom64EX was a thing. if they havent done it yet, then it probably wont happen for a long while

[HELL ON EARTH]

Yes very true, I've played Doom EX and its cool to.

But there was no officially release of a Doom64.wad back then

yeah but all officially supported IWADs are only games that specifically uses the original Doom engine or specifically GZDoom. it doesnt support any IWADs that use such a heavily modified engine.

Doesn't mean that now the wad is legally commercially available by buying this new PC port that they can't add that support in now (sooner or later)

You forgot to account that back then there were no "legal" means of obtaining the WAD from Doom 64.
Not only that, but seems Doom 64 EX internally contains all the actor data, among things, leaving the WAD containing map data and art.

Also, IIRC, there has been talks about adding support to it and it's currently "pending".

Apparently, GZDoom AND Zandronum can recognize most of the WAD's assets.
