DSC Posted September 8, 2019 Pretty self-explanatory. As you all know, Doom Explorer automatically installs any resources we don't have once we try to join a server. So I will ask you all, to save me some time: which are the most popular of all wad and pk3 files? 1 Share this post Link to post
Doomkid Posted September 9, 2019 (edited) Unfortunately, it won't be that easy. :( This isn't an issue on ZDaemon, but on 99% of Zandronum servers, the hosts (for some reason) feel the need to load 9,999 PK3 files/WAD files with each server, and each one only does a tiny thing (one is a pistol mod, one makes liquid textures animate faster, one adds lighting effects, etc etc - almost all of it is pointless fluff.) So, more or less, you'll just have to wait an eternity when connecting to a server that does this. Not all servers are like this though! If you hover over the "wads" section on your server browser, it displays a full list of wads the server is running, and you can simply avoid the ones that have 10 or more. The most popular cooperative and deathmatch wads would be: Chillax Ancient Aliens Alien Vendetta Memento Mori 1 and 2 Scythe 1 and 2 Greenwar dwango5 and dwango6 Exec Brit10 and Brit11 dweller2 lazarus1j Neon DM You're sure to see servers running those wads. There are hundreds more but I don't want to bog you down. 2 Share this post Link to post
