if it's on a LAN, all options are in the doom95 startup menu.

[groovie]

you need to have ipx/spx installed and then you launch it from setup.exe If I remember right.

Thats the one I'm trying to get working, but I can't seem to find any games to join.

The DOOMSDAY port (http://www.doomsdayhq.com/)
The best doom port around, it has its own UT style server system (games are advertised on a master server with effortless setup). Sadly, games and other players are like gold dust.

Just shout my way friend, because I've wanted to play for some time now. The reason many don't play doomsday online though is due to its poor net code. I have had a few stable 3 player co-ops though (with some minor issues)

Shouting? i figured i spoke with a calm and deep voice. But to the pressing issue of ports, i am sure the legacy port is very nice and all, but quite frankly if it creates a system with no clear means of getting it to work and no instruction visible with in atleast within the range of a ballista missile, i couldnt give a damn.

What I meant was just ask and we shall kill some imps together. I don't care how I play as long AS I play http://forums.3drealms.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Just let me know if you are ever up for a co-op or deathmatch game. Or hell..start one and tell me to join.

[Shlubalubs]

Skulltag online. jDoom just sucks because Co-Op is almost non existant because having a BFG in map01 is just cheap. ZDoom is the best but since Doom Connector is gone and now its only Skulltag Online.

Well despite lag that was pretty fun http://forums.3drealms.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif http://forums.3drealms.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/love.gif Good 'ol Doom.

Skulltag...I've heard of that but what exactly is it? Can you play co-op and regular deathmatch still?


and btw - cheap? You can't die man....co-op is just for fun. Who cares how "cheap" it is.

1. its a weapon put their by the map makers for multi player
2. its DM only, shouldnt come up in co-op or single player
3. all BFGs can be removed from the maps as an option when making a server

In jDoom EVERYTHING shows up in ANY type of multipalyer (Ex: The rocket launcher, ssg, and bfg right at the begginging of Doom2 Map01, in coop), while Zdoom's Co-Op is exactly the same as singleplayer + extra players.

Does it matter? Either way you can't die....might as well have some fun with extra guns.

[robenestobenz]

Try Zdaemon (http://www.zdaemon.org/).

It really is the only worthwhile online Doom port. There is a bundled server browser (with comprehensive information on ping, location, number of players), constantly about 40 servers online last I checked, an online ratings system for players, regular ladders and netcode good enough that I used to be able to do very well even with 200 ping (so roughly comparable to Q3).

[avatar_58]

I just tried skulltag and its pretty good...tons of different modes to play. http://forums.3drealms.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif You guys should give it a try.

[robenestobenz]

I prefer my Doom vanilla, really. Still, you make a good point - I'd totally forgotten about skulltag. Are the bots activated in the new version?

Skulltag isn't bad though - I just don't like the stuff like railguns and the BFG10K.

1) Download and install ZDaemon (http://www.zdaemon.org/)
2) PM me, I've been looking for someone to play Doom I & II with for a long time. Random games on Zdaemon servers are fun, but planning a game with someone sounds good too.

[robenestobenz]

When I get the time, I'll take you up on this.

It's amazing how strong the communities are for some old games, even after all these years. Over a decade now, since Doom. Goddamn time spins up and up.

turn the no co op weapons option to a yes, the weapons will pop up in death matches but not in co op games

[AlienAssKicker]

I never have time nowadays. But I always do for quick Doom 1 & 2 deatmatch. http://forums.3drealms.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Quicka and instant fun and gratification is all I need. Doom 1 & 2 delivers.

Well the more I play Skulltag the more I'm loving it. The best part is that there are always games going. http://forums.3drealms.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif If anyone wants to play sometimes let me know!
