How do I play Invasion?

[StevenC21]

Hey guys, I am running Zandronum, with Doomseeker, Beta 3. And after I select the invasion Game Mode from the list, start the server, add bots, wait for players to join, etc. I realize that once I kill all the monsters, nothing happens. I thought that Invasion was hordes of monsters invading that I had to fight off. BTW I am playing on a default Hexen map, and I have played it on a default Doom map, both suffer the same issue.

You need to set the correct server settings/flags and the correct maps for it; you can't just load it up on any old map, that's not how this particular version of invasion works.

 

For starting out, grab https://allfearthesentinel.net/zandronum/download.php?file=dtinv3c.pk3 and this https://allfearthesentinel.net/zandronum/download.php?file=skulltag_content-3.0-beta01.pk3

 

Check out what settings other servers have (either hover over them in the server browser or go into them and in the console, enter the following one by one, copy the returned numbers: dmflags dmflags2 compatflags zacompatflags wavelimit), and go from there. Hope this helps, if in doubt try here http://widget.mibbit.com/?server=irc.zandronum.com&channel=%23Zandronum

Invasion is a game mode which requires specially made Invasion maps. You can check out Delta Invasion which Decay just linked, or Armageddon 2 which is also decent.
