Since OP couldn't be bothered to share it with us, here is the link to the zandronum forums for Doom Kart by Lord_of_D: https://zandronum.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=6920
the version being released today will require a copy of doom 1 or 2, and a Modern Doom Client (a-la Gzdoom, or Zandronum )
the next version to be released will be the starter pack which will not require a previous copy of Doom 1 or 2. Sgt MkIV says there is still has some work to do on the starter pack, but he didn't want to delay the release any longer.
Step 1 get zandronum https://zandronum.com/
Step 2 get doom2.wad and point to it from Zandronum
Step 3 Run DoomSeekers (Comes with Zandronum) and filter the server list by the word " complex "
You will get all the servers running complex doom, join one and it will download all the wad files you need. Get ready to experience the greatest Doom mod of all time and you won't be able to go back to modern fps after that :)
I dont follow zdoom much but there are other versions like zandronum which i feel is the best version and is the most multiplayer friendly.
I dont think its a huge loss and i hope the community moves over into one. The doom2 community is still going strong. Tons of awesome wads i play daily. I love survival takes a ton of mental patience and skill.
You need this engine: https://zandronum.com/
Zandronum comes bundled with Doomseeker. When you click "Play Zandronum Online" it opens Doomseeker which shows all active servers. Choose one, let Doomseeker download any necessary files for the server, and then it will launch the Zandronum match. You will need doom2.wad as well.
The guns you're asking about are old Skulltag weapons. While Zandronum did replace Skulltag as the main zdoom based multiplayer engine, it didn't port over all the levels/weapons.
The Skulltag data can be loaded as addons for Zandronum. Any servers using it will have a bunch of files called things like "skulltag_data.pk3" and will download automatically if you choose to run a server using them. The new weapons will show up on maps as pickups then.
You'll probably want to launch options>configure in Doomseeker to make sure it knows the location of your IWADs, PWADs, MODs, and where to save downloaded files.
There isn't really a "duel scene" that I know of, but general multiplayer discussions can be found at www.doomworld.com and the Zandronum forums for starters.
Barrels o' fun is so annoying in online co-op.
>>everyone spawns
>>someone just has to shoot. usually it's the demons.

non-subtle zandronum plug. Run doomseeker, point her to the right folders and enjoy. Just make sure you have a copy of DOOM2.wad.

Links to what, multiplayer doom? A website that has lots of available wad files to play with made by and for the current Doom multiplayer community?
I'll give you both:
Doom Multiplayer Clients: https://zandronum.com/ <---probably the best one, if you just care about coop romps, murderizing demons, and the more 'fun stuff' https://www.zdaemon.org/ <---last I played it, was the 'competitive', PvP port if you want to duel/CTF other players.
The best community website for Doom: https://www.doomworld.com/
I think Zandronum is the most popular one right now. https://zandronum.com/download
After you install the Dooms and Zandronum you will just copy the .wad files (read instructions) to zandronum directory.
also comes with Doomseeker which will auto-download wads and stuff. You should try out the Stronghold mod, wave based survival mod (playable coop too)
Zdoom --> http://zdoom.org/Download
Zandronum --> https://zandronum.com/download
you will need to own the orginal doom games, but this should fit your bill. (you will need to set up the controls though, but once that is done, you should be good to go)
As long as you have doom2.wad it's pretty easy to get in to multiplayer and it's pretty active, too.
https://zandronum.com/download
Doomseeker will (usually) find the wads the server needs to allow you to connect, just make sure you configure it correctly.
u/DamienlaCritique
rootpain was a wad where you’re inside a uterus and have to fight a fetus after destroying the ovaries, unholy screams included. Lots of people were scared and confused by it.
As for doom45, it’s somebody’s first attempt at a creepypasta
Wrath of Cronos kinda maybe fits the bill. Good luck finding the correct DL link.
Death and Decay also fits the bill with having a larger enemy variety.
Samsara also maybe fits the bill by having a lot of monsters from different games.
From the day I came across it almost 4 years ago now, the population (albeit small) has remained constant at 1 server being close to or completely full (40 player capacity), with one or two other servers being partially populated. Between this, Mechwarrior: Living Legends, and the original Doom via Zandronum, I wish more people would play these. It honestly provides salvation from the microtransaction ridden peices of crap of todays games.

This was done in Skulltag (Now Zandronum), get it here: https://zandronum.com/ (you need doom 2)
As per the readme, you specifically need a beta build of Zandronum 3.0.
See "Development Builds".
You can then just load everything in order as you normally would.
You can use Zandronum, or Doomseker if you want to play online :)
https://zandronum.com/download https://zandronum.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=2972 Zandronum + Doomseeker
and yes, compiling ZDoom and GZDoom in linux is a litttle pain in the ass, i don't even remember which libraries I needed xD
Good luck!
Sounds like you're looking for invasion mapsets. Try Satans Covenant. Coop compatible even
https://zandronum.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1631
UTNT invasion is also pretty good (and a bit shorter)
Doom and Doom 2 are still some of the most fun games out there.
Play them with something like GZDoom or Zandronum if you want some modern bells and whistles, or Chocolate Doom if you want an authentic experience.
Thats exactly it, some mods require specific GZDoom features, and some are designed for Zandronum, usually for online support.
For GZDoom visit this site once in awhile and see what the current version is (4.0 right now). Often the readme or website where the mod is hosted will tell you what source port and version is suggested.
I keep a backup folder with some older builds of GZDoom just in case. So if I need an older version I just extract and overwrite the newest, then when I'm done I replace that with the newest.
BTW, don't install two source ports (such as GZDoom & Zandronum) in the same base folder.
It looked like it needs Microsoft .NET 3.5 to be installed, i have went ahead and tried that on my own machine. So far pressing New Map results in an error.
I did however found a tutorial about getting GZDoom Builder to work but so far i've had no luck. Perhaps it will work for you.
shilling incoming
Doom 2 is on sale on GOG and Steam, and the go to multiplayer client is known as Zandronum. It's as simple as copying the necessary files over.
shilling over
You can use Freedoom2.wad in place of DOOM2.wad.
Just make sure the both of you are using the same wads, mods, & source ports. Zandronum comes with WadSeeker which makes it really easy to automatically download required wads (maps/mods/wads).
I have a quick start collection called Brutal FreeDOOM for this kinda thing, extract it to *C:\games\Brutal FreeDOOM* and away you go. Drop in DOOM2.wad and DOOMU.wad for maximum compatibility, especially when playing online and some mods.
why play it on the switch when you can play a Doom mod of the same thing: Nazi Zombies: Doom Edition Works on the latest versions of GZDoom and Zandronum :)
Play online with Zandronum via doomseeker (online search engine privided).
Most games are sofisticated/advanced wads with brutal doom so it's not really the same feel but there is some fun to be had.
For a more "vanilla" feel there is Odamex but there isn't always people playing. It's more of an event/schedule community.
I would suggest ditching the dosbox and using Zandronum or GzDoom or any of the billion other modernized engines for older doom games.
Personally, I've only used zandronum since it "just works" for me. Basically, copy your doom2 wads into zandronum folder, then just drag & drop your custom wad over zandronum.exe -> done. edit: or, follow their wiki: http://wiki.zandronum.com/Zandronum_and_IWAD_Files
Also, you get actual 3d acceleration, higher resolutions and mouselook etc :)
/u/DiabolicalCaterpilar is essentially right. The two major points you mentioned; The glowing objects and the softened textures are handled by the Source Port or Engine. GZdoom and Zandronum are my two favorite engines. Mainly for their compatibility with the brutal doom mod. I also use a variation of the HDTP for gzdoom to enhance the textures of almost everything in the game. but its a matter of choice really. I personally don't like the soft look of the sprites so i leave it alone. I'm just used to the way it always was. I even tried out 3d models to replace monsters. but they're not compatible with brutal doom and kill the doom feel in my opinion. hope this answers your questions with more clarity.
happy dooming.
oooo an Apple II E!!! Fancy!
It should run pretty good it is doom from the 90's. Try downloading it and see how it runs. I'll pm you the WAD files put them in the same folder that Zandronum installs to.
Posting this because I'd like to see more people playing. It's already very active but more people is more fun. Or, well, more confusing and hectic. But fun.
>As long as you have doom2.wad it's pretty easy to get in to multiplayer and it's pretty active, too.
https://zandronum.com/download
Doomseeker will (usually) find the wads the server needs to allow you to connect, just make sure you configure it correctly.
That's all you should need to get online in Doom 2, using whichever WADs you'd like. It's also pretty easy to set up your own local server if LAN's your thing.
Usually i've been playing on this server, http://www.theultimatedoom.com/ . They have all the wads you'd need to connect hosted on their site if you don't trust doomseeker to find them correctly.
Make sure you do not copy anything into the skins folder or you will fail lump authentication. I do almost every time i reinstall.
Here, now you haveDOOM and Brutal DOOM.
They're both free, so there's no reason not to have them.
Edit: Looks like you'll need this, too
Edit 2: After looking into it, I've realized that I'm an idiot and you do have to purchase DOOM to play it. Ignore me, I guess.
You probably used the Zandronum source port with the Doomseeker server browser. Download them here: https://zandronum.com/download
If you want to host your own server, you need to open the port 10666 so the server shows up in the browser for your friends
By request. Had fun making this!

Used the Doom Writer by Visual Vincent.
I spent a week with a friend trying to get the coop of brutal doom in Vr to work. And no luck.
Can’t remember the details but it boils down to that the doom version that has multiuser support , coop play. Doesn’t have a VR option. And the one that has vr doesn’t have the net code update for multiplayer.
Basically it sucks.
We managed to start a game and we would loose synchronisation almost immediately.
I think doom multiplayer works only with the Zandronum multiplayer. zandronum
But zandronum doesn’t have vr
a source port is a customized doom engine by the community. Most of them are better than the official port so I would check some ports out like GZDoom.
But for multiplayer you should use the Zandronum source port. To quickly summarize what you have to do:
-Download Zandronum with Doomseeker here: https://zandronum.com/download
-Install it anywhere on your PC
-go to your Steam directory and look for the doom.wad file (and doom2.wad if you have Doom 2)
-drop the .wad file (or both if you have both games) in the folder where zandronum.exe is
You should now be able to play already in Zandronum. Launch zandronum.exe and see if you can play Doom. Some notably enhancements of the source ports are: being able to look up and down, native resolution, 120fps support, etc.
-to play multiplayer you need to launch Doomseeker. It automatically looks for servers online. Join any full or empty one.
-Doomseeker also has the option to launch your own server, however your friends or other people won't see it in the browser yet. You have to open up the port 10666 in your router settings. Look up how that is done with whatever router you have.
You have to play in a source port (you should do so anyway when you are on PC). A source port is a modified doom-engine. GZDoom is a popupar one you may have heard of.
But to play online multiplayer you should download the Zandronum source port bundled with the server browser Doomseeker: https://zandronum.com/download
Extract them anywhere on your PC. Then go to your Steam folder folder of Doom and look fornthe original doom.wad file and Doom2.wad if you also have Doom 2. Put that file (or both if you have both games) inside the folder where Zandronum.exe is. If you launch zandronum.exe now, you should already be able to play Doom with all the improvements that come with Zandronum. Check if that's the case and maybe fiddle wih the settings, you may want to rebind the controlls.
If you now launch Doomseeker, you should already be able to join any pf the multiplayer servers it lists. Note that most of them require doom2.wad as base game, not doom.wad.
To play with friends you can launch a server with Doomseeker too, but before that you have to open the port 10666 in your router settings or else your friends can't see your server in the browser. (Your friends don't have to do this, only the host).
When creating a server you can set a password, change the multiplayer setting s and modes, and add custom wads and gameplay mods if you like.
Hope that helps.

The WAD files should be in:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Ultimate Doom\base" or the equivalent for Doom II.
To play GZDoom, you can download the latest version from their website, here. Once unzipped, double-click the GZDoom application to launch the game. It should automatically scan for and detect the IWAD files on your computer.
To play Zandronum, you can download the application from their website as well, here. I'm not too familiar on Zandronum but it should work similarly to GZDoom in detecting the IWADs.
G/ZDoom, not really. You can use the console command spawnfoe ScriptedMarine
, but it is not very smart and it will not respawn when killed.
The multiplayer-centric GZDoom based port Zandronum, yes: https://zandronum.com/download
Once you launch a DM game, you will want to hit ~
to open the console and type AddBot "[Bot Name]"
and a list of valid botnames by default in Zandronum are:
Apparently this list is nowhere on the Zandronum wiki so I had to crack open the data file to find this list. I hope this actually helps lol
You can install Steam on Crostini. You should be able to run Portal 1 & 2 decently.
Zandronum will allow you to play Doom 1 and 2, Heretic, and Hexen. You'll have to get the WAD files for those games on your own. You can buy Doom on Steam and get the WAD that way.
Any FPS type game will require that you enable Pointer Lock in the flags.
You have to use a source port as the official release doesn't have online multiplayer.
Download the Zandronum sourceport with Doomseeker. Install it anywhere on your PC. Drop doom.wad from you Steam directory into the folder where zandronum.exe is (add Doom2.wad if you also bought Doom 2)
Now by launching zandronum.exe to play Doom in Zandronum in singleplayer. For now just change the settings to your liking.
To play multiplayer, now launch Doomseeker.exe. It's a server browser. Just join any full server to play. Most of them are modded though. And most servers require Doom2.wad as a base, not Doom.wad.
You can host your own server with Doomseeker, however this requires you to open up the port 10666 in your internet router settings. You have to look up yourself how that works with whatever router you have. If you don't do this, other people can't find your server.
Alternatively a VPN software like Hamachi can also work but I would just open up the ports.
Sometimes it helps to attack a problem like this from a different angle. Load up Neon Deathmatch by itself (without BD or PB) and see if there are still errors. If there are then its not the mods causing the problem.
One issue is gzdoom.exe being named gzdoom - PLAY BRUTAL DOOM.exe. GZDoom gets updated pretty often and some mods require a specific version so you might wanna rename that back to just gzdoom.exe, then you can easily overwrite the files with a newer version when necessary (I keep a sub directory with archives of GZDoom v3.7.2 & the latest stable release).
Just took a look at Neon Deathmatch where it says it requires Zandronum which makes sense as Zandronum is more multiplayer focused than GZDoom.
So download Zandronum and be sure to put it in a separate location then GZDoom as some files can and conflict.
The classic Doom Engine games (DOOM, DOOM 2, Final Doom, Heretic, and Hexen) all are fully playable in co-op. Plus the sheer volume of mods for these games is staggering. Custom campaigns, total conversions, and mods that radically alter gameplay are plentiful. These games are dirt cheap on steam or GOG. If you want to do co-op you'll want to use Zandronum to do so. https://zandronum.com/
>but I am not nearly savvy enough to figure that out.
You make it sound like you have to program the source port yourself.
You just download it with Doomseeker, extract it somewhere on your PC, throw doom2.wad into the folder and then you just launch Doomseeker.
Zandronum is better if you have access to the original Doom and Doom 2 WADs.
>sudo apt install software-properties-common
>wget -O - http://debian.drdteam.org/drdteam.gpg | sudo apt-key add -
>sudo add-apt-repository 'deb http://debian.drdteam.org/ stable multiverse'
>sudo apt-get update
>sudo apt-get install zandronum doomseeker-zandronum
Put the WAD files in home/{Username}/.config/zandronum
All i know is that your binding file is in:
C:\Users\Username\Saved Games\id Software\DOOMEternal\base\DOOMEternalConfig.cfg
May be there is something you can do there i'm not sure, but you could try to use the console and see if you can enter commands like in zandronum
However at this point the best bet is just to use a keyboard that uses modifier keys, which basically change the bindings of the mouse when one of the keys on the keyboard is pressed, i think logitech has some keyboard+mouses like that.
Also may be you could create a script in AutoHotKey to achieve that but i'm not sure.
There are two popular and modern source ports: GZDoom is best for single player, while Zandronum is best for MP & co-op. Zandronum includes an MP browser & Wadseeker so it will help you connect to others and find wads/mods you might be missing.
It's not a past tense thing.
Plenty of classic Doom co-op going on right now. It's fun as hell to team up and murder demons, they need to figure out some sort of co-op mode for Eternal. Even if it isn't the main campaign. Give the mode it's own levels. It's too fun to just leave out of ANOTHER Doom game.
If you live in Asia it'll be rough to find any AFPS play. That's the least popular part of the world for them. I know there are some Japanese players and of course AU/NZ but most of the AFPS players are in EU these days. You could also try https://zandronum.com/ (Doom 2).
Fair enough, I just think it's misleading when Brutal Doom is touted as 'the modern way to play classic Doom'.
As for what SgtMarkIV (the Brutal Doom creator) did, he told someone to kill themselves, included racist comments in the code of the mod, and apparently plagiarized some content.
GZDoom is not multiplayer oriented. It will generally suffice if you want to play local coop or local deathmatch. You may need to start the server through your terminal (or write a shell script) – I don’t know any third party applications that would help with server creation.
This page should give you some idea on what to do. (Obviously, replace zdoom
with gzdoom
if you decide to try it). https://zdoom.org/wiki/Multiplayer
Or instead, you could try <strong>Zandronum</strong>. It comes with Doomseeker, which is a GUI tool which allows you to easily setup a server.
Doom ports have also had team LMS and LMS (last man standing) for … a decade?, which, AFAICT, is essentially what people now call "Battle Royale" now.
(e.g., Skulltag, which is now know as the more-weirdly-named Zandronum)
GZDoom is updated daily (https://devbuilds.drdteam.org/gzdoom/) while Zandronum has been stagnant for almost a year. (https://zandronum.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=55)
Zandronum is also built on GZDoom 1.8.6 (!!!!) while the current stable release is 4.1.3.
It is painfully outdated, many mods don't bother providing Zandonum support any more and the only reason to use it at all is for the more pleasant multiplayer experience.
i take it you own a mac HAHAHAHA zandronum has a mac build and GZDOOM has a mac build ..... click and drag your WAD(s) onto the application and it should launch
The most common option for the old Doom games on Windows is GZDoom, using the OpenGL renderer. You can use free mouselook and a crosshair if you wish, though the games were made with only horizontal aiming in mind with vertical auto aim. That's due to the game being designed solely for keyboard use, while mouse support was added as an afterthought (an afterthought that revolutionized the entire FPS genre). If you want to turn off vertical mouse movement, just go under "game options" and set "allow freelook" to "no."
If you want to play Doom 1 and 2 as people did when they first came out without all the command line BS, use Chocolate Doom. For an experience that's still vanilla but a bit more modern, you can download Crispy Doom on the same page.
And as for deathmatch and other online play, the most popular port is Zandronum.
Thankfully you don't need anything more than your doom.wad and doom2.wad files from your game folders for Ultimate Doom and Doom 2 to make these ports work, since the Doom engine is open source.
Doom 3's an outlier in the series, just so you know. You can either play the original version or BFG edition. A lot of people tend to lean toward vanilla Doom 3 just because of the unique flashlight mechanic lending toward a more horror-oriented atmosphere. In any case, your PC shouldn't have any problems running either.
Let me know if you have any more specific questions.
Classic Doom, particularly Complex Doom Invasion. The official server is Canadian, the developer is active and updates frequently, the gameplay is top tier and supports playstyles ranging from Troll to Team Player, the game [Doom 2] is $5, and it's often full of furries. So it's basically perfect. I would have joined Outside for this minigame alone.
Happy first cakeday, I'd leave it as a gift if my comp took dollar bills. Oh, about setup: get Zandronum [it's free].
In HPBar's readme, it says it requires NewTextColors as a dependency. It seems you can download that here.
No idea if that's actually the issue or not, but hope it helps.
I've never played online, but I think it mostly depends on which sourceport you use to play Brutal Doom.
Zandronum is the one that supports multi-player, download and install and then read this wiki page.
the easiest way i know is to download Zandronum, "find" your copy of Doom2.wad, run doomseeker (in the zandronum folder), and play on a public server.
I wrote a little guide for it here if you have problems.
Doom is way more fun with other people and multiplayer (and the modding community) is incredibly active.
Find it on the Zan forums (works with Gzdoom/Zan) u/Lezuum , u/AQ90 (could either of you be of help towards code/spriting ?) but the main person cancelled the map, although the MAPS themselves (The Giant, Verruckt) are in the hands of people making them, as well as myself working on Five (and another Redditor here working on Moon.)
The creator whom took it over is known to go from working/stopping on it alot, but i'm hoping he comes back on it, although the code and whatnot is pretty easy to follow. Would probably need some help (i'd like to take it over but suck at coding) with fixing the code for Dog Rounds and whatnot... on the Zandronum forums - https://zandronum.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=58&t=5693&start=180
Fortunately for you, co-operative play is an option. Get a copy of Zandronum with Doomseeker.
If you have a decent connection you can even run your own server.
So you just didn't look so there wasn't an argument? Sorry for assuming you were at least interested in knowing things instead of blindly defending them. So examples below!
There's just a treasure stove of thing to hold against him here That's his original post on the Zdoom forum.
when told someone to kill himself If you don't want to just look through the ~450 pages yourself. More information on the topic
Pretty sure it was every version before V18 or V19. Just check decorate files it's pretty straightforward how they're racist.
Currently still not fully released, but is still super fun. currently there are developments of more of the original levels, along with other things (ADS sprites, better gore, enemies etc...)
So I don't know anything about Zandronum, so I could be mistaken, but you should just need something like this:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Zandronum\zandronum" -file Brutaldoomv20.pk3
I'm assuming that the "zandronum.exe" executable is in the C:\Program Files (x86)\Zandronum directory. It's possible they nestled it in a "bin" directory, so you may need to adjust that path as necessary.
I found this page that lists all the command line options you can use: http://wiki.zandronum.com/Command_Line_Parameters
And I found this thread discussing hosting a server from command line, which may be useful to you: https://zandronum.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=807
Edit: just to call out that /u/insertAlias was pretty much correct about just needing a command line option.
That's not a thing, Zandronum is what people are using now a day's its based off the GZDoom / Zdoom engine, tons of people playing and tons of mods that are esy to set up just by joining the server. https://zandronum.com/
I like https://zandronum.com/ for playing doom and other WAD based games. it works well and even has multiplayer with a server browser. I am also biased because I host a coop mode doom 2 server running the scythe2 wad. They say they have a mac build for it as well.
You know there's a lot of great source ports of Doom you can play on a modern PC?
Weird name I know, but you can play Doom, Hexen, etc. The graphics look a lot nicer and it even has online multiplayer.
I think the first thing you should do is find the mouse sensitivity you are most comfortable with. An easy way to do this is to get in a server with just one other person who is willing to stand there while you test out different sensitivities, and then circle-strafe around that person while trying to keep your crosshair on the person, trying with a bunch of different sensitivities and at different distances from that player to see what you find is most comfortable. I'd also recommend turning mouse acceleration and mouse smoothing off for any game that has the option. Even though different games will use different ranges for sensitivities, I find you can usually still get the same in each game based on % of max (for instance I use 10% of max; so if the max possible is 10, I set it to 1; if max is 100, then 10; and so on).
For actual practicing, I think the best game to start with is the early Doom games, using a modern source port such as Zandronum (for co-op) or GZDoom (for single-player). As you go through each episode of The Ultimate Doom, to Doom II, and then through Final Doom (using Hurt Me Plenty [Normal] difficulty); the enemies start out spaced a good distance apart and in small numbers, with the enemy density gradually increasing over time, til you are fighting rooms filled with enemies towards the end of Doom II and throughout Final Doom. And since it is an older game it is also fairly basic in its gameplay meaning it is all about moving, aiming, and timing.
indeed. Combined with some other options it isnt at all that blurry.

The highres textures - they're good, but some are too far away from the original like firewall.

Just so you fools know https://zandronum.com/
plenty of servers up and connecting will usually download extra wad files for you. you do need an original copy of doom which i humbly suggest you buy from GabeN so you will never lose it.
Personally prefer shotgun frenzy but there are hardly any servers in the US.
