a lot of mods don't work!

[BLÀde]

GOG when you save a save file and try to load it either a save or quick save it just back to the mods main menu?

I've noticed this in several mods including:

ancient aliens
A.L.T
Return to Hadron and Icarus: Alien Vanguard and practically every new mega wad appearing from now on why are they being uploaded if they don't work?

Yep, saves are busted on all of skillsaw's stuff and a lot more. There's other threads about this with more information, but apparently all of these wads have something in common that causes saves to bug out here. I'm not technical enough to answer the specifics though, but I do think this issue deserves more attention. At least most of these maps are balanced for pistol start

Gzdoom is a separate engine itself. It only requires the official doom 1 and 2 wad in order to work. You can't play custom mods on the steam version.

The jizz of GZ has been dismissed by the gist of it.

I just do my own thing and if people like me, then great, and, if not, they can politely have a test of strength with a Shinkansen the hard way, or go meet Truck-Kun.

The reasons saves are busted with some mods from my understanding is the GAMECONF lump.
GAMECONF allows defining several aspects of a mod such as what mapping features to use, but apparently when included in a downloadable mod it somehow breaks saves.

The people on Doomworld doing the uploads seemed to be a bit split, because there should be a patch soon that not only will fix this but also mandate using GAMECONF, but there's no known timetable for it and it's breaking saves in the meantime, so some uploaders have chosen to leave the lump out for the time being while others have uploaded mods with it already in preparation for the patch even knowing saves are broken.

I have modded many games in my life but ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. GZDoom has to be one of the most confusing mod managers I have seen yet. None of the mods work, you need the WAD files and software to use the controller and other crap. None of this is intuitive at all.

GZDoom isn't a "mod manager", it is an entire game engine.

Use ZDL or Doom Runner to manage your WADs and mods.
