THANK YOU!!!! As a gamer in my 50's trying to download a mod is waaaaaayyyyyy out of my skill set. When you ask for help on Steam you either get laughed at for being old or some kid types out a bunch of words that look like Egyptian hieroglyphics and proceeds to get mad cause you have no idea what they are typing. Believe it or not but some of us older gamer don't understand this kind of stuff and having a very clear and simple guide like this is a life saver. Much appreciated.
58 yr old gamer here (been playing since 1979). Just wanted to say thanks because I got PB working for DOOM 2 on Steam in about 20 min because of this guide. Now, I need to tweak my controls! 👍🏻😎
This was a very good set of clear directions. With files scattered everywhere on my machine, I had been floundering around for days in an attempt to get things up and running on my own to no avail. But I re-started the process after watching your video and instant SUCCESS. Thanks!
I have been making doom mods for years now and have used alot of engines and i've had a nice amount of experience with it, yet i still watched this tutorial, cause it was very soothing and nice. cheers!
I typically stick to vanilla gameplay, but I have downloaded and played around in Project Brutality. I just wanted to come here and say that it's a seriously amazing mod. I was actually giggling like a little kid while I was playing, it was so incredible. You and the rest of the Project Brutality dev team should be immensely proud of what you're created. And not to take shots at Sgt Mark, but I think Project Brutality blows Brutal Doom out of the water. Also, I noticed that Project Brutality seems much more optimized. The performance is much smoother than Brutal Doom, despite being far more complex. You guys worked some serious magic. Thanks for all you've done. Keep up the fantastic work!
Thank you for this, I'm a complete NOOB when it comes to stuff like this, but I am very intrested in getting into some of the mods for various pc games, and I sure as hell don't want to deal with the tedious task of having to move files around just to go from one mod to the other, Brutal Doom is one for doom that I myself am very much interested in playing.
Don't forget to Right Click the "DOOMII" WAD file and select "Open with..." then find and select GZDoom, make sure to click "Always use this app to open .WAD files". Any WAD file you download will then associate with GZDoom automatically so it doesn't need to be in the GZDoom folder to keep things a bit tidier and you won't have to launch it in the launcher. Launchers are best used for combinations, Guncaster with Hellbound, PB with Eviternity etc.
Project brutality hands down, best Doom mod ever in my opinion. People think Archviles are a pain in the ass wait till you encounter a Flesh Wizard or Paladin. Bosses, yeah the Cyberdemon is easy, but wait till you encounter an Annihilator, and pray you never encounter an Overlord or Juggernaut. I actually have added more custom monsters besides the ones in PB. Talk about punishment several examples.

Thank you for the tutorial! It helped me very much!. One question. I saw you use a different windows explorer and seems very nice. Can you tell me where can i find it?
The launchers make it so easy. I've been playing GZDoom on Linux as part of my "force myself to daily drive Linux for a month" personal project. And the development on ZDL is pretty non existent and Doomrunner does have some resources but I couldn't make it work on Ubuntu. So it's commandline for me. Basically setting up launchers/shortcuts with the specifics mods/maps/etc. I want to try out. Aaaaaand you have to set up paths and all of that in GZDoom just so it knows were to find it. It's a royal pain in the butt, lol. But still worh it to get my Project Brutality (and others) fix.
Can you please try it again? I did some improvements to Linux compatibility based on user feedback, but as i don't play games on Linux, i only tested the basic scenarios.
Great tutorial, thanks! Can we disable the Doom Slayer's voice in Project Brutality 3.0? I hate hearing him shouting, especially "AH CHAINSAW! THE GREAT-" ugh. It's annoying for many players.
Question - I've decided to try my hand at Doom mods because Project Brutality is just something I've got to try once I learn how to play mods, it looks incredible, but don't have the Doom games on Steam. Can I use the versions I have with my Xbox Game Pass versions of Doom?, as I am a subscriber to that and can download them straight away.
I've noticed that, using this, some maps allow me to jump to areas that I shouldn't be able to get to, like I'll need a key to get to it. Is there a way to tell if a map I'm running allows jumping or not?
How do you access this window again? 7:16 I wanted to play a mod that is apparently supported only by latest GZDoom version (4.10.0), but I had version 4.7.0. Now that I've got the latest version, I can't really find this window again so redirecting to the new engine is pretty much impossible for me. Any advice would be very appreciated!
Hello. I've stumbled upon Invasion WADs with PK3 files and I can't run them. Also the Hell On Earth Starter Pack WAD isn't working and I downloaded it from the official website. How do I fix it? my ZDL kept on loading GZDoom without playing the Hell On Earth WAD.
I'm having a little problem, I've done every step as you did, I even checked that GZDoom was running but when I run it it simply doesn't, I tried to select the wads as you did but it didn't work either, what do you think I'm missing?
I tried several times to get the project brutality zip to show up in the mods section of the launcher, but every time I go to the folder I made for it the folder appears empty.
Can someone please help? Everytime I press lauch, instead of the project brutality mod loading with the game, I just get the regular game. I had this issue with ZDL in the past too

Excelent tutorial, I have an issue trying to run the maps or some mods.
Im having this problem in doom runner where when i pick a mod and start playing it doesn't make me play the mod it just makes me play normal doom
Gracias por el video, amigo. Me aclaró muchas dudas. Saludos c:

Thank you for the tutorial! It helped me very much!. One question. I saw you use a different windows explorer and seems very nice. Can you tell me where can i find it?
I am afraid that it actually is just regular windows explorer. :) I just have the side panel thing turned on.
help evey time i start up PB and press new game then my game mode it just freezes and then crash and it say out of memeory
it always crashes when i select the project brutality zip, and since theres no crash report, i cant tell what i did wrong
Amazing tutorial, thank you.
Thank you
Thank you for showing me how to do. Because me Englisch is not very well, was little complicated for me but in the End it works. Thanks Bro
