Hi, new to GZDoom
Do I just put this in the GZDoom dir for the dynamic lights to work?

Put in skins folder!
If you do not have skins folder then create in gzdoom directory!

Anything you put into the Skins folder gets automatically loaded.

curious...
And it's not true for the GZDoom dir?!?
Sorry to ask perhaps a stupid question, but I'm not pleased to do a search about it... if you have the answer, of course.

No, wads will only be loaded automatically if you add them into /skins/. Simply placing the file in the same directory as GZDoom.exe wouldn't work.
However, you can edit your INI file to tell GZDoom to auto-load from a specific directory.

Well, of course it does; gzdoom.pk3 is always loaded automatically.

And over written every time a new version is installed. Why not use your ini or the skins directory?
Also (and not a lot of people know this) if you put a file called zvox.wad in your (G)Zdoom directory, it will automatically be loaded. This has been in Zdoom for years. I think it was originally intended to be a file for player voices but it can be a WAD with anything in it and it still works in current versions.

Apparently it is too much for some people to autoload properly - with the autoload sections in the .INI.

I searched in my "doc" dir for zdoom, and I found this:

- Fixed: Monsters that reached the end of a patrol path did not have their
reactiontime reset, so they would wait a very long time before attacking.
- Fixed: STYLE_Shaded ignored special colormaps like invulnerability.
- Added support for autoloading wads through the config file. Create a section called [Doom.Autoload] and place "Path=<file>" beneath it for each file to be automatically loaded. They are loaded after the files in the skins directory and before any files on the command line. Game can be Global to load the files for any game. Global files are added before game- specific files.
I tried it, but it don't works!!!
Those lines are simply deleted and the fields are empty after the load:

Replace Game with the game you intend to autoload the files with. So if you want to autoload for Doom, use [Doom.Autoload].
Valid games are:
[Doom.Autoload]
[Heretic.Autoload]
[Hexen.Autoload]
[Raven.Autoload] for any Raven game
[Strife.Autoload]
Or, as Randy mentioned, you can replace Game with Global to autoload files for ANY game.
[Global.Autoload]
