The newest update for DOOM and DOOM II allow you to make a Bethesda account and download add-on campaign wads from their servers - the current available add-ons are SIGIL, No Rest for the Living, The Plutonia Experiment, and TNT: Evilution. Now, we've figured out things like injecting Mario Maker levels into SMM2 for those without internet access; is there any way the same could be accomplished for Classic Doom's Add-Ons? I'm not experienced in this regard, so I am hoping someone with more experience could help with this. Would this require save injection from someone who has them? Thank you.
I'm also interested. I've thought of save injection, or maybe even wad injection or something like that
I had a look at the save file as the romfs in the update and I couldn’t find where the wad was stored
Thanks for the effort! A new mystery
Is there a possibility of sharing a save then? Or is it against the rules?Yeah, I personally wonder if it's a save thing - my reasoning for this is that we use save injection to play MM2 levels offline, and the add-ons don't seem to be account-based or anything like that.Thanks for the effort! A new mystery
If someone who had all the add-ons could upload their save data, that'd be pretty great - I don't think it'd be an issue rules-wise since the add-ons are available in the game for free and the save data is only usable for someone who already has the game.
Yeah, this is a must to figure out honestly. There's so much content that will be made available. We need to know how to access it without going online and connecting to the servers.

so adding new mods should be no problem
Code:
| Optional notes, how to create your own mods: |
| |
| 1/ Duplicate one of the add-on folder (for example |
| 20200101000003_0100D4F00DD02000 for Doom II). |
| |
| 2/ In cache/0100D4F00DD02000/0001/ put your WAD file and rename it |
| to whatever number/character you wanna use (1 to 5 are already used |
| by current mods so let's say you start with "6" or "a"). If you |
| name it 6.wad, then you will have to edit "metadata" at offset |
| 0x126 and put "6" in ASCII (instead of 5 if it was 5.wad). Also at |
| offset 0x1712 if it says "doom1" then put "doom2" in ascii. There |
| are more stuff you can edit in there, it's just a standard Unity |
| asset (hint), so you can put your custom description or your custom |
| jpg to your own preference. |
| |
| 3/ Edit __BackupSaveDataInfo.xml, and change all 3 fields |
| SaveDataSize, AvailableSize, JournalSize to whatever size is the |
| addon (=0001 folder). It doesn't need to perfectly match, it just |
| needs to be bigger than the addon (sure you could set it to 300 MB |
| but then you will have a 300MB file to your NSW eMMC/SD Card |
| instead of whatever small size it is). Also edit the CacheIndex |
| value to something > 4. Max is 99, you cannot have more than 99 |
| addons. |
| |
| Also values are in hex so make sure you convert decimal to hex (e.g |
| = 7MB = 7 000 000 bytes = 00000000006ACFC0 in hex). |
| |
| To delete mods: |
| |
| Either delete the game and reinstall it, or in DevMenu, in the Save |
| Data tab, find DOOM II, press "+", "Manage", and here you can find |
| every Cache partition (= addons/mods) you can delete. |so adding new mods should be no problem
To anyone having trouble installing addon’s, create a directory named BackupSaveData inside of NintendoSDK and move all the numbered directory's into BackupSaveData and follow the instructions. For example: sdroot:/NintendoSDK/BackupSaveData/20200101000000_010018900dd00000

Out of curiosity, could this method be used for Labo VR additional mini-games, distributed through a Switch News channel?
I made some changes, and yet it didn't work my try of adding other wads than the official add-ons.
Trying to insert plutonia 2 or plutonia revisited (didn't try other wads), the results I get so far are:
Inserting wad into a duplicated TNT folder and editing its files, the save doesn't load using devmenu, as if was a corrupted save.
Inserting wad into a duplicated PLUTONIA, SIGIL or NO REST FOR THE LIVING folder editing its files, the save loads ok. In the add-on screen selection, it shows the modded title and the custom jpgs I put for each wad, and it activates ok. But trying to start the game, it gives me the two options as if I was starting Doom 2 (Hell on Earth and The Master Levels).
Starting 'Hell on Earth' freezes the game, needing to close it and restart.
Starting 'Master Levels' it start the first of the Master Levels (Attack) and it plays normally, but with a gliched sky with coloured lines AND using the custom wads themed HUD (the us.army themed huds that plutonia 2 and revisited uses)
No clue in how to get working properly, once I followed all the instructions.

Thanks for the tip! Actually the part regard creating "BackupSaveData" directory was missing in each guide/nfo therefore DevMenu wasn't able to see those WAD files
Sorry for the bump but I was trying to inject add on wads for Doom 1 earlier and it seems to have messed some stuff up on my Switch. Any time I try to load the game up now it just immediately crashes and for some reason it even happens in Doom 2. Deleting the caches and the save files doesn't seem to fix it and neither does completely reinstalling the games. I'm on Firmware 9.1.0 and running the latest Atmosphere.
Does anyone know what's going on here?
Edit: Not sure if it's important but resetting the required version to 1.0 makes the crashes basically instant vs taking about a second or so on 1.4.
Edit 2:Installing as an xci seemed to fix the problem. Weird.

If people are still interested in how to movie the add-ons to the switch, I use DBI. Connect a usbc to the PC go into DBI, go to Run MTP responder, then it should load all the files and connect to the PC.
Open Nintendo Switch under Device and Drivers, go to saves, Installed Games, Then do to either Doom or Doom II. That's where you put all the Add-On files. The folder files should be named Cache.00XX with numbers at the end.
I downloaded the Deathless Add-on from a site and it had the NintendoSDK folder so what I did was create a folder named Cache.0007 and put all the main files like .jpg's and the .wad into the Cache.0007 folder. Then put the folder into the Doom saved folder. I don't know if the folder name matters, just as long as it isn't the same as the other folder Add-on names.
I went to play Doom and the add-on showed up and played. I think DevMenu doesn't work anymore with all the latest updates and not sure if you can really add your own wads.
