Most simple is to put it in the "skins" repertory (each of the files being there is automatically checked and loaded when Gzdoom is launched.
Downloading it right now... Will come back for a comment.

I edit this message: what I wrote is not true... You have to put it in the AUTOLOAD field. Placed in the "skins" repertory don't make it loaded automatically...
Yes Graf, I know: I'm a nerd...

What can I say?...
Fantastic?
Fabulous?
Both, I guess...
Once played with it one time, it's impossible to come back playing with the regular textures!!!
What an incredible work was done on this pack !!!
How many time used, working one by one, testing, modifying, retesting and so on ?????????????
What is even more remarkable is that I wrote some days ago that I was absolutely opposed to it...
I was totally wrong!!!!!!!!!!!
I wrote that it will destroy the great atmosphere of the good oooooooold Doom... What a nerd !!!
Now, Doom IS like it should have be since the beginning.
Period !

Here is only one example, enough to let you decide to use this pack !!
(my screenshots are not heavy, because I used a compression of 20%, without any loss of visible quality)

Please don't post excessively large images that break the forum layout.

It would seem that there is a flat aligning discrepancy between the original flats and the hires versions in GZdoom. That is assuming that the flat on the floor in the above screens isn't the problem.

I didn't understand... Layout?!?
All was perfect on my screen (resolution 1280x960)
Anyway, here are resized pictures

I use 1280x1024 screen resolution but I rarely have my browser window that big, because I like to make room for other programs like my music player and instant messengers. Having to scroll over to see your pictures makes it very hard for me.

Yes, I understand.
But it's your choice. You could have put your browser on full screen for the shots, then coming back to a window for the rest of your working time. Anyway...
My plan was to show something. It was fine using screenshots scaled 1024x768 (plus the support). It's not that fine using 640x480, apart for the sky.
But YOU decide, not me.
I'm only a user, pleased to share... I'll do what you ask me to do, nothing more. It's why I resized my other shots on my other interventions on this forum.
By the way, my screen resolution is always on 1280x960, on full screen. I dislike the pollution coming from other windows.

I use 1280x1024 with a bookmarks window to the left so there's obviously not enough space for large images.
And just to make it clear: I will delete any image above 640x480 which I spot here on sight, no matter what its contents are.

Do you think that it was necessary to be so "clear", when I deleted all my screenshots, and replaced them with ones being 640x480, letting you understand that I "received" your message?
I understood your problem, and I agree that it was a real problem for you.
I'll be careful, the next time.
Sorry!
(this to say that a short explanation can solve misunderstandings, and I'm thankful to Graf to have taken the time and the patience to explain to me what I didn't think about)

A trick: rename the file "jdtp-20081108.wad", replacing the extension "pk3" with "wad".
It won't affect Gzdoom at all.
So that, you will be able to put it in the "skins" folder, and you won't have to handle the "ini" file each time you want to play with a wad more or less compatible.
Example:
Title: Operation: Arctic Wolf Special Edition
Filename: ARCTIC.WAD
Author: Laz Rojas
This wad is a WolfenDOOM scenario for DOOM II; in other words, a Wolf3D TC.
This pwad is absolutely not compatible with "jdtp-20081108.pk3". You have to edit your ini file and to delete the entry!!
Putting the file "jdtp-20081108.wad" in your skins repertory let you handle the file more easily: you have only to move it from there for such pwads.

This is still not the recommended way to do things and essentially not supported. Do it as your own risk!

That is not correct! For cases like this there is an option in the menu to disable the hires textures.

That is not correct, but it's working without any problem...
