ZDoom now comes in multiple flavours! The primary port, GZDoom, sports advanced hardware (OpenGL) and enhanced software rendering capabilities, while the port LZDoom serves as an alternative with a different feature set, detailed below. Although the parent ZDoom codebase has been discontinued, the latest official release is available here for posterity.
GZDoom is the latest version targeting current systems with modern graphics hardware. (Vulkan/OpenGL 4.5 capability recommended, but the minimum requirement for the hardware renderer is OpenGL 3.3, the minimum for the software renderer is Direct3D 9)
LZDoom is based on an older version of GZDoom. It does not provide all features currently supported by GZDoom but in turn is capable of running the hardware renderer on older hardware which does not support modern OpenGL features.
Want more features? Get more out of GZDoom! The release builds are not all that GZDoom has to offer. If you want to stay ahead of development, try out some Dev Builds and be the first to try out the newest features in development, before everyone else does! In doing so you can help to ensure releases are smoother, by reporting any bugs that you may find! LZDoom Builds also available!
GZDoom v4.4.2For help getting started, see the online documentation in the wiki. You need to provide your own game IWAD. If you do not have a copy of a doom-engine game, the easiest way to obtain them is to purchase them from Steam or GOG. When you download them from either of these stores, ZDoom will automatically find them.

Utilities
These tools support a few special editing and playing scenarios.
WadSmoosh
Merges your Doom IWADs (Doom, Doom 2, Final Doom, Master Levels, etc.) into a single IWAD, allowing players to switch between games without relaunching.
WadExt
A command-line utility that extracts the contents of a WAD to a (mostly) pk3-compatible folder structure. Useful for converting old mods or setting up advanced development workflows.
MAPINFO Converter
This is a command-line utility written by Graf Zahl to convert old-format MAPINFO lumps to new-format ones. See the original forum thread for more information.
This package contains both a Windows binary and source code.
Misc Editing Utilities
Includes the programs zwadconv, swantbls, and listacs. Zwadconv converts old maps to the Hexen format used by ZDoom natively. Swantbls creates SWITCHES and ANIMATED lumps used by BOOM. Listacs is an ACS script disassembler (not decompiler).

Contains the source code for the editing utilities.
Miscellaneous
The following files are mostly of historic interest.

This version of ACC is only if you're old-school and using WadAuthor or a DOS-based editor like ZETH.
FluidSynth DLL (version 1.1.6)
(64-bit version)
ZDoom supports using FluidSynth for MIDI playback. To use it, extract libfluidsynth.dll to the same directory as zdoom.exe and then configure it from within ZDoom. FluidSynth is bundled with GZDoom since v3.1.0, so this separate download is only useful for older versions.
TiMidity++
ZDoom supports using TiMidity++ for MIDI playback. To use it, extract timidity.exe and timidity.cfg and read the instructions. TiMidity++ has become an internal player integrated within GZDoom since v3.3.0, so this separate download is only useful for older versions.
TiMidity++ Source Code
This is the source code for ZDoom's custom version of TiMidity++. Alternatively, a patch with the custom changes can be downloaded and applied on the original TiMidity++ source code.
WadAuthor Configuration Files
Contains a wcf file for use with WadAuthor.
ZDBSP 1.19 Source Code
This is the source code for ZDBSP 1.19. The build system uses CMake, so you can generate project files for any version of Visual C++ from 6 up or several other IDEs, or you can create Makefiles as well. It is also available on its GitHub repository.
ZETH 4.17 Level Editor
1 Mod 2
A DETH-based editor for ZDoom that runs in a DOS box. Comes with minimal documentation. If you don't already know how to use DETH, you should go find a good tutorial that explains it. If you plan on doing any ACS scripting, you should be sure to also download ACC below.
