Yeah I meant wads. Where do I put the wad files at and how do I play them?

Drag the wad file on to the gzdoom.exe icon or assign "open with" to the source port is the simplest way.

Or use the zdl launcher.

Or try this thing.

pwads or "patch wads" are a bit trickier, since they use assets from the official wad file and have to be launched in tandem with it.
