I bailed off Doom after Doom 3 was a pile of shit. Do people still play Zdaemon with zdoom? or is there a more popular way of doing this shit now?

forgive my ignorance, but i've been out of the loop for about 3 or 4 years.

Um, ZDaemon uses ZDoom as its base...though I think the version of ZDoom it uses is pretty ancient.

There's also skulltag and odamex which both focus heavily on online multiplayer.

Hmm, you may have to update your IDE, though I would think that they would have added an updated IDEse with Skulltag D:.

Also check the forums, there should be a globally sticked thread about the Master Server address and how to change it. Recently the address was changed so that may be your problem.

*edit*

Oh wow...apparently they added an entire sub-forum devoted to the Master Server. I'm sure you might be able to get some help there.

Also give Freedoom a whirl, just to make sure that it's the Iwad that's causing the problem and not Skulltag/IDE/the Master Server. I think there have been some folks having problems with the Master Server recently.

An incompatible IWAD shouldn't stop you from seeing servers. You'd only get an error after trying to connect (the console in the source port will tell you it's the wrong size).

Check your internet/firewall settings and make sure IDE has permission to use ports.
