doomtheman50_98 Posted December 3, 2002 I was wondering if anybody could help me out here. I have attempted to play doom online using internet doom explorer but whenever I try to "start server" it says "Cannot find a game lwad (doom.wad doomii.wad, heretic.wad etc.)did you install zdoom properly?" I have reinstalled zdoom and filled in the iwad things and it still says this. What the hells goin on? Thanks in advance for any help! 0 Share this post Link to post
Torn Posted December 3, 2002 Do you have Doom2.wad in your game folder? (eg: C:\zdoom, c:\zdaemon) 0 Share this post Link to post
doomtheman50_98 Posted December 3, 2002 I have put a doom wad, as in a link to the iwad for the ultimate doom ( the version of doom I have, obviously). Do I need to have doom 2, as I do have a copy of it, but not installed on the computer? 0 Share this post Link to post
DOOM Anomaly Posted December 4, 2002 For it to work you need the Doom or DoomII (which ever Iwad you need) in the same folder with all the Zdaemon and CsDoom or Doomconnector, IDE and all that jazz. When they are all in the same folder, then they should work properly. 0 Share this post Link to post
doomtheman50_98 Posted December 4, 2002 It still ain't workin'. I am using the ultimate doom for windows 95. Is it possible that I should select plutonia or tnt? 0 Share this post Link to post

The games you are trying to join, are they Ultimate Doom Iwad games or DoomII Iwad games? Because if you only have UDoom, u can only Join UDoom games. 0 Share this post Link to post
Bloodshedder Posted December 5, 2002 On top of that, good luck finding an Ultimate Doom server. 0 Share this post Link to post
doomtheman50_98 Posted December 6, 2002 So I can't use a doom (1) server if i'm using ultimate doom then? 0 Share this post Link to post
Naked Snake Posted December 6, 2002 doomtheman50_98 said:So I can't use a doom (1) server if i'm using ultimate doom then? Ultimate Doom IS Doom 1. There are IWADS needed by servers, which can vary : Doom.wad - needed to play Ultimate Doom servers Doom2.wad - needed to play Doom2 servers and DWANGO5 servers and shit. Tnt.wad - for TNT : Evilution servers Plutonia.wad - for Plutonia servers Heretic.wad - for Heretic servers on ZDaemon 1.02 0 Share this post Link to post
doomtheman50_98 Posted December 6, 2002 Can somebody tell me why it is not working then? 0 Share this post Link to post
DOOM Anomaly Posted December 6, 2002 In IDE, do you have the Iwad paths selected? in the Options 2 tab it will have Iwad location: and it will have Doom: <box Dee-Lee goes here> Doom2: <box Dee-Lee goes here> Plutonia: <box Dee-Lee goes here> TNT: <box Dee-Lee goes here> You have to put the correct Iwad and the Iwad's location in the slots. Make sure U also have Zdaemon and CSDoom (if you have it) in their Slots below the iwad's. 0 Share this post Link to post
doomtheman50_98 Posted December 7, 2002 I have done this and checked it about a hundred times to make sure it is correct and it still says "Cannot find a game lwad (doom.wad doomii.wad, heretic.wad etc.)did you install zdoom properly?" 0 Share this post Link to post
fodders Posted December 7, 2002 The path to the iwad doesn't contain a space does it, like "program files\" etc, sometimes this fucks Doom games up, used to with Doomserv If IIRC 0 Share this post Link to post
