Weekly Newstuff Chronicles Game Server Suggestion

Weekly Newstuff Chronicles Game Server Suggestion

Suddenly, an idea came right into my head when I was staring at the index page of Doomworld, looking at those big texts of "/Newstuff Chronicles". What I'm suggesting in here is that if there is any way, any way that is available, Doomworld, or other dedicators can host a server running wads from "/newstuff" weekly, as long as they are oldschool based/Zdoom(Zdaemon) suppported. It sounds a very fresh idea to me to keep Zdaemon and the Doom community a lot more alive.

This is a good idea, but it might not work out every week. For starters, some WADs are either too short/small or too crappy to be worth playing on ZDaemon.

Also, you'd have to weed out all the WADs that aren't ZDoom/ZDaemon compatible. But otherwise, that's a great idea. I'm still waiting for an AV coop server...

Cooping on Zdaemon? Ha... haha...

Well I do like to co-op. Every time I just join some random coop zdaemon server though, it always is/winds up to be one of those 1000-respawn lag fests where you unload your 8 shells into a horde of large demons then commit suicide so you can regain the shotgun at the start and take a 10 mile hike through the map to do it again.

Co-op is approximately 1000 times more fun when you do it via Zdoom/Legacy with a friend(s).

Yeah, AV was fun with you and Lüt when I just typed in the IP addresses and joined our own games.

It's happened before.

I know it's happened before, it's happening now, I'm just saying it's lame.

It's still more fun than getting spawn-fragged 20 times in a row on D5 Map 02 with 8 players.

Does that also happen in cooping in other SP games? Such as Quake and QuakeII?

I usually don't have trouble finding a good dm server... if I don't I just like play DoD or something besides doom for a while.

It's been a while since I've used ZDaemon...haven't found the time out of classes, yet strangely I can post here....

pick the one which is decent and run it
