Ultimate DoomVisor Usage Guide

First... GET A LAUNCHER! It makes load order simple! I recommend ZDL as it makes it as simple as drag
and drop. Unless you are comfortable with command lines, this is THE best way to play Doom
sourceports in my opinion.

ZDL - https://zdoom.org/wiki/ZDL

UDV is currently compatible with GZDoom 2.4 or higher. Please dont ask for other compatibilities, as
they are either impossible and/or require too many feature sacrifices for UDV to function, as UDV makes
use of many advanced features of GZDooms functionality.

My recommendation is to always load my UDV_ prefixed files last in your load order, after any other
main mod files such as Brutal Doom or Project Brutality.

Order is Alphabetical: "A" first, then "B", C, D, etc.

The BASE "A" module is required for full functionality. You should only ever have one(1) "A" module
loaded. The "A" module is the BASE module with all the main HUD components and weapon scripts.

B Modules are optional alternate graphic packs for UDV itself. Only one should be loaded at any time
and will override the standard visor graphics. They are only necessary if you want to change from the
basic default DoomVisor graphics.

You can load any number of the "C", or D modules. They include optional add-ons such as lower
quality bullethole effects to increase performance, replacement mugshot graphics, ambient
music/sounds, alternate fonts, or to display the correct key card colors when playing with the megawad
Knee Deep in ZDoom.

See below for further explanation on load order.


Below is an example of a working load order using ZDL:
In the picture on the previous page, you see that all UDV files are loaded after all other files. This is
generally the way to guarantee that the HUD will work correctly, but sometimes youll get lucky and it
will work if other things are loaded after it. I HIGHLY recommend you load everything with UDV last to
ensure everything works correctly. You can also see that all UDV prefixed files are in alphabetical order.

UDV_vx.xx_A
UDV_vx.xx_B
UDV_vx.xx_C
UDV_vx.xx_D

If you follow these instructions, you should have no issues. If for some reason you DO have issues,
contact me on my moddb comments page, or by private message and I will try to help if I can. 9 times
out of 10 it is a problem with load order or loading a module that isnt for the mod you are using.

Please Include a list of all mods you are using, the load order of those mods, and what source port you
are using. If you dont give me specific details, I cant and wont help.

All that being said, thanks for downloading, and have fun!
