DoomNite 1.0.0 — first desktop build.

A portable Doom mod launcher: 16 games, 31 launch configurations, one folder
with the engine, the IWADs and every mod, and not one absolute path inside it.

No prerequisites. The installer bundles its own Python runtime, so Windows
is all you need up front.

What you get

  • DoomNite for Windows (NSIS installer, per-user, can change the install path)
  • DoomNite portable zip (no installer)

First run
It fetches 3.4 GB of engine, IWADs and mods, verifying each file by sha256.
Files already present and correct are skipped, so re-running is cheap.

DOOM2.WAD and Hexen.wad are not included -- those are commercial id Software
releases and the pack refuses them rather than hosting them.

If you keep the pack somewhere other than beside the executable, set
DOOMNITE_PACK to the folder containing serve.py.

The launcher also runs without the desktop app at all: python serve.py.
