Check out ZDaemon, the first Doom port that caters specifically for solid client/server online Doom action. I've just smashed together a server for it, and man, the whole package just reeks of professionalism, not just because (unlike most fan stuff produced today) it actually WORKS, but also because the whole thing is schmick and easy to use.

Go Play on GameArena now, it rocks. The server is filling up with overseas HPBs who are fun to smack around.

Lol.. I clicked this thread title and a kill bill vol2 ad appeared.. kinda ironic :p

well i know what i'm going to be playing tonight

Most awesome thing ever.

This rocks.

Any chance of some more servers on GA or Ausgamers?

Whats the password :P

the server launcher is being an asshat so i cant make a server :(

thats cause you cheat squarky.. my server log proves it!!

SquarkyD kicked from server (speedhack)

baahahaha

ahahahah what!
i had autorun on

OK this rocks. had a game.

Is it possible to play zdoom-gl on it?

http://doomworld.com/doomgl/


and also is it possible to save config so u dont have to setup everytime?

pretty fun, needs more maps and guns :)

indeed a nice find Trog


thanks :D

fukin awesum, ima find some time tonight

when selecting a server to join and you dont have the proper .wad files etc, then zdaemon asks you wether you want it to search for it.
once it finds it, it automaticly installs the files needed to play the game.

a real professional program.
much props to the coder

anyone know why my mouse wouldn't be working when playing online in doom1 but works when playing single player offline? this is a freah install of doom1 "the ultimate doom", no patches as of yet.

f***en awesome!

doom 2 coop up as well now

doom 2 coop up as well now

Sounds awesome, gotta find my dooms.

I dont understand, do you install Doom 2 and then use the launcher or what? where can i download Doom 2 and which one do i get? Ultimate Doom, Final Doom??

I wanna play online but cant get it all together, anyone wanna be helpful and break it down slowly for me?

click on the GA post and follow the links

You dont even need to install doom, the launcher will do it for you.

I had both the legit doom2 and ultimate doom wads in the directory and the game refused them.

So I just removed them and let it download it itself, turns out it's just the 1.4MB doom1 and 14MB doom2 shareware wads on all 4 GA servers.

So just download that zdaemon prog, there's a direct link right on thier site. install, run the launcher and click on the GA server in the list, the launcher will take care of the rest.

Weird - there is no shareware doom2 wad. It shouldn't actually let you download it - when I delete my doom2.wad it tries to download it but can't find anywhere to download it from.

Update: tried it again and it found one :( That's pretty dirty.

heh, bizzare. Mine donwloaded a doom2.wad from some russian url "13.9 MB (14,604,584 bytes)"

While my other, original doom2.wad was "14.2 MB (14,943,400 bytes)"

The one on the server is 14,604,584 - that's my original doom2.wad from waaaaaaaay back.

Just finished two runs through doom1 coop, but the doom2 server is full :/

Need to get some CTF action up in this piece, those maps are supposed to be pretty good, and that auto pak downloader thing should make sure everyone has the right stuff.

Is it just me or is the network code ass.

Jittery as s*** when going anywhere near doors.

I tried it, but i get some thing about not being able to play on demos servers as it would cause bad sync.
Wierd, because i could join the first time i tried it, since then no dice.

no one else is having mouse troubles online?

Crashtacular :(

EDIT: you guys (agn admins) seriously need to come back to etg so I can talk to you, cogs is so balls as a chat client.

Yeah occasionally I get mouse troubles, really jolty. I found simply exiting and rejoining solves it.

hardware problems :(

I'd love to have a game.. but there never seems to be anyone on.. i had a 15 minute game the other day & a 5 minute one today.. but other than that its been empty :(

i'd kill for a doom2 DM *hint hint* :)

doom 2 dm!

comeon people!!

join in the fun!!

its lonely in here. :(

doom 2 dm! heh trog gave me a lesson on the inner workings of buckshot when delievered from Elephant guns...

The server seems to be a bit unstable.. Co-op is a bit buggy too :(

yeah I played this yesterday, it was awesome fun! Running around at a million miles and hour spamming plasma and rockets everywhere



But I can't see the servers in the zdaemon thing any more? What's the go? :(

Servers crash pretty regularly, unfortunately

was fun while it lasted but the servers crashing all the time is too much to bare :/

restarted
