mmx Posted June 13, 2018 I've been using Zandronum for quite some time now, but playing online it's a huge pain in the ass. The server browser is buggy, slow and it's terrible to use. Hosting a server is also a pain because I have to manually issue commands (as if it was a telnet connection) and keep alt-tabbing. No NAT punch-through. Is there a better source-port that I might be missing out? 0 Share this post Link to post
LexiMax Posted June 13, 2018 To my knowledge, all client/server multiplayer source ports make use of the "remote console" paradigm for servers that are primarily driven by console commands, so unfortunately, you will find no respite there. However, there are two major server browsers out there - Doomseeker and Doom Explorer. If you're pissed off with the server hosting capabilities of one, you might want to try the other. 0 Share this post Link to post

No NAT punch-through. Not sure how AlexMax forgot to mention that all three of the most used MP source ports (Odamex, Zandronum, ZDaemon) all allow for "rcon", where you can login to the server and issue the commands through your player client while connected to the server. I forget the ccmds for each, but I think they might all just be rcon_password to login, and then "rcon xxx" to pass commands to the server. 0 Share this post Link to post
mmx Posted June 14, 2018 rcon is awesome! Thanks a lot guys. Another quick question: Which port has the best netcode? 0 Share this post Link to post
-TDRR- Posted June 27, 2018 Maybe ZDaemon? Not sure, but my experience with it has been pretty good. 0 Share this post Link to post

Although good luck finding out if it has changed or not, because it's the only closed source Doom port. They don't allow anybody to review their code. 1 Share this post Link to post
