Bug#788058: doomsday-compat should fall back to freedoom2 is doom2 is not available

[Fabian Greffrath]

Package: doomsday
Version: 1.14.5-2
Severity: normal
Tags: patch

And hello again,

as per one of my latest patches, the doomsday-compat script defaults
to gamemode=doom2 if nothing else has been specified as an IWAD.
However, we should not take it as granted that the commercial
DOOM2.WAD file is available on each system. Instead, if we find that
neither DOOM2.WAD nor DOOM2F.WAD is available in the specified iwaddir
directory, but FREEDOOM2.WAD is available, we should fall back to
using the latter. This complies with the behaviour of every other Doom
engine that has a list of Doom IWAD files sorted by preference and
usually falls back to using freedoom2.wad if doom2.wad is not
available.

Thanks!

Fabian
