Is there any way to play Wolfenstein 3d through DosBox with the "-goobers" command enabled? Every time I try the colors go all whack. I use a frontend from the dosbox wiki tut.

Out~

The front-end may not support command-line parameters. I know for a fact that Wolf3D runs in DOSBox using the goobers parameter, but I have only ever launched it with that parameter manually. Try starting the game without using the front-end and see what happens.

Or create a small BAT-file somewhere in the WOLF3D folder, e.g. ........\WOLF3D\Woolfie.bat containing the command

WOLF3D -goobers

and then let the frontend start that instead of the original game.

It sounds like the front-end he uses does the common thing of starting DOSBox with a long command-line stating the configuration file, the program name, no console, and exit. This method doesn't allow command-line parameters, which is the main reason I started on my own (see signature). Mine actually generates an autoexec.bat file using the "[autoexec]" section of dosbox.conf so stored game configurations can pass as many parameters as they want.
