SIGIL don't start the right map when used with doom.wad

[schmurtzm]

Description:
SIGIL don't start the right map when used with doom.wad : it only start a map from doom 1
It's strange because

• official SIGIL website and libretro core documentation mention doom.wad as a compatible file.
• SIGIL splashscreen is displayed and appears in the main menu but doesn't start the right level.

So 2 solutions : SIGIL is in reality only compatible with Doom Ultimate wad file or there is a bug on prboom when using SIGIL with classic Doom wad file (not ultimate).

Step to reproduce:
Install SIGIL wad file next to doom 1 doom.wad (and not doom ultimate doomu.wad) then start SIGIL : you will not be on the first level of SIGIL.

Wrong SIGIL level (with doom.wad):

Good SIGIL level (with doomu.wad):

Platform :
Any (reproduced on Windows x86 and ARM linux)

I can't reproduce it on Windows x86_64 with RetroArch and on armv7 with PicoArch. I use doom.wad commercial version and the 1st SIGIL level loads fine for me. 🤔

Strange, mine has this hash sha1 : 7742089b4468a736cadb659a7deca3320fe6dcbd
From what I see here it is "doom_1.9.wad". As they say at the beginning of this text file, the 1.9 is a confusing version so my 1.9 could be incomplete 🤔

The best is probably to always use utimate doom instead...

Edit: I have tested 1.1 , 1.8 and 1.9 with the same problem of bad level loading. Curious to know your checksum @DrUm78

Ah maybe I misunderstood: mine is Ultimate Doom and is named doom.wad and it works. So you mean you have the normal commercial Doom (the one with 3 episodes), right?

btw sha1 is 9B07B02AB3C275A6A7570C3F73CC20D63A0E3833 for mine.

I read again and that seems obvious now, my bad. I thought also you were talking about the shareware, which works too btw.

Ah yes, just saw your messages, so indeed you have doom ultimate, it seems to be a mandatory to have SIGIL working...
Strange to see that the official SIGIL documentation neither the libretro documentation mention that important detail.
