hetfield2k Posted January 14, 2003 This is my first visit to Doomworld and I am looking forward to become an active member of the Doom online community. I was amazed to see the amount of add-ons available for Doom, especially ZDoom, which although deviates from the classic Doom of yore, puts a great spin on the game and seems to have resulted in a well deserved longevity which Doom has aquired. I have updated my Doom to v1.9, have CSDoom, ZDoom, IDE3 and ZDaemon1.03. When I attempt to start a multiplayer game through my ZDaemon I see all the servers along with playercount etc. but when I try to join the server, I get a message saying "Cannot find a game |WAD (doom.wad, doom2.wad,heretic.wad, etc.). Did you install ZDoom properly?" and am not allowed to continue any further. Is this error message a mistake on ZDaemon's part? For after installing ZDoom I was able to play ZDoom fine (with mouselook etc.) Thankyou for your time and I look forward to meeting you in the DM arena!! 0 Quote Share this post Link to post
999cop Posted January 14, 2003 login Zdaemon => settings => WAD directories => Add the location where your doom/doom2 files are at => Okay! 0 Quote Share this post Link to post
hetfield2k Posted January 14, 2003 Thanks for your time 999cop. I still cannot seem to get ZDaemon working, though. I know how to use its WAD directory, and added the folder containing all of my Doom files, but still got the same error. The strange thing is, whenever I was messing about with my ZDaemon settings I removed all folders from my WAD directory in ZDaemon, I received a different error stating that only my "doom2.wad" was missing. Does this help? The error message I got origninally suggests I have installed ZDoom incorrectly. If you could walk me through its installation that'd be great. (ZDoom's read-me file is a bit sketchy on installation info) 0 Quote Share this post Link to post
fodders Posted January 14, 2003 Do you only have Doom, and not Doom2? Or do you have both? 0 Quote Share this post Link to post
Deviant Force Posted January 15, 2003 That happend to me before I eventually just re installed it since i screwed it up by deleting a file for Zdaemon lol. Im not really sure what i did to make it work i extracted the files to Doom 1 then to doom 2 and Final doom. Then i Clicke d auto on Zdaemon and all the wads came up.... I am still having trouble playing Map 1 on Doom 1 and 2 but i think i can live wothout that. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post

hetfield2k Posted January 15, 2003 Thankyou Deviant Force. Just tonight I got my Doom to work online by adding ALL the files I have to one single folder, which, as you could guess, is a mess. So I got a game going on ZDaemon, played for 5minutes and had my ass whooped by one "DDD[Sniper]" although I managed 5 frags myself :) 0 Quote Share this post Link to post
hetfield2k Posted January 15, 2003 Oh yeah and does anyone know where to download the dcdwango.wad? I've searched for it on google.com but to no avail. Cheers 0 Quote Share this post Link to post
Darkstalker Posted January 15, 2003 http://www.doomworld.com/linguica/level.php?id=6268 Here you go. Google is a good search engine for wads. Either browse in the id games yourself or use a doom search engine :P 0 Quote Share this post Link to post
hetfield2k Posted January 17, 2003 I've tried joining several servers on ZDaemon and find I am only able to join one that is playing dwango5.wad map07 - if i try any other maps or .wads the game starts up as normal, but when play starts, my screen shows the normal "status bar" at the bottom of the screen (with the doom marine's face, health, armour etc.) but the rest of the arena is all messed up with different parts of the map displayed on the same screen, with alot of "crazy stuff" in between. It makes the game unplayable. Does anyone even know what I'm talking about?! If so, know of any way to fix it? Thankyou all so much 0 Quote Share this post Link to post

hetfield2k Posted January 25, 2003 Why does no one use CSDoom online?! I've been having problems running my ZDaemon and for now, CSDoom is the only one I can use. Does anyone wanna set up a game on CSD? E-mail me on hetfield2k72@hotmail.com if you want to 0 Quote Share this post Link to post
