seeking partners

[FA_K_X`posure]

hi i am seeing partners for heretic/hexen gaming.

[Reaper_Zwei]

i have heretic and hexen. just the regulare versions though, incase that means anything. you looking for co-op?

[FA_K_X`posure]

ya i am, my skype is praniuntoadsquad

[Reaper_Zwei]

ok dumb question: how exactly do you play multiplayer with these old games? i just got these a couple days ago. used to play them back then. id love to play multiplayer with somebody but i dont know how to do that. think you could help? if not thats fine.

[everamzah]

you should use a modern compatible client such as zdoom/gzdoom. the original DOS .exes are a little.. antiquated.

[FA_K_X`posure]

well who is interested?

[breadfan]

@Yerkon You can play MP/Coop through Gameranger.

[Phoenix7786]

I can do Heretic or Hexen on Co-op since I never really got into the competitive scene. I've got Zandronum as well as Gameranger. Hell I can even Dosbox these.

[FA_K_X`posure]

Lets do it, praniuntoadsquad is skype

[FreyjasChosen]

I am also interested in playing through any id Software game on coop. Add me!

[Jaysmack]

So.. when I bought this based on the description that is was multiplayer.. wasn't that false advertising? I presumed I'd be able to launch multi through Steam or something...

[NightFightsDay]

I am using Zandronum add me, It's so hard find people to play these

[NightFightsDay]

and Zandronum is the best you're gonna get so far, in terms of multiplayer/coop for doom/heretic

[FragitaX]

I can't figure out how to start a server, and whenever I try to join one its says the wad files dont match. I have Zandronum but still no dice.

[Vhan]

i was playing with skulltag, will try Zandronum... at least the last update was recent.

I think you were trying to join a game that has mods. They are using additional wad files (PWAD) on top of the "Vanilla" wads (IWAD).

Either the above, or you were trying to join a Doom game?

Did you use the Doomseeker launcher bundled with the Zandronum package? It should be able to search for PWADs and download them when you try to join a modded game.

In my experience so far, Zandronum engine has the most number of available servers and people playing compared to the other doom ports, and seems to be the most stable for online multiplayer games.

The other engines are good for SP, or when you want better graphics I guess when you play SP.
