we need to get people back into multiplayer

[Lord_Dweedle]

im sick of not being able to find a decent co-op server on skulltag. whenever i go on they are empty and im lucky to find someone who dosn't swear or telefrag people.

While I haven't been much on Skulltag (I've used ZDaemon, generally), from experience, people are usually pretty decent in coop servers. If you want more intense cooperative play, get in touch with a nearby player and make a private server or connect directly with your engine of choice.

I'll have to try ZDaemon. Im probly just unlucky but in my short experiance ive only met 2 decent people and the rest are all asshats.

For the most part, skulltag has some good co-op maps and original co-op players. You're just playing at a time where GvH has taken over... :(

Im thinking we should have a Doomworld sort of get together in Skulltag or ZDaemon, Lock up the game and give the password on a thread in these forums. I never seen any of you play.

A+ idea lol

I don't really have any issues finding active co-op servers, even at like 4:00AM (EST). An exclusive Doomworld server would be cool, though. Perhaps one where we vote on what .wads or .pk3 files to use.

Agreed. I have Ultimate Doom and Doom II iWADs. Execution Doom PWAD is a must.

I actually wouldn't mind deathmatching every so often, but as stated the servers are largely empty.

[AveryMaurice]

I could run a Doomworld exclusive dedicated server over Skulltag if anyone wants to...

[magicsofa]

I actually haven't been playing online lately, and I'd love to get back into it/ am totally down for doomworld server

[DuckReconMajor]

I play on ZDaemon but I'm willing to re-install Skulltag for a Doomworld server.

[Edward850]

Am I the only one who feels that dooms old style of multiplayer (doom.exe, zdoom, etc) is better for get-togethers? Then again, the total number of players you can have tends to get limited (8 players? no).

How about odamex instead? Its supports 255 players.

Each has it's advantages, I guess. Personally, I'd rather have a Skulltag/ZDaemon server instead of everyone having to leave when the host wants to quit. Either way is fine with me, though.

Anything more than 16 usually gets spamtastic in a shooter game.

Hmm... Odamex is still pretty flawed though and not many people have it... plus SkullTag has great multiplayer modes like CTF and old time Deathmatch. I also love ZDaemon.

So is it okay If I set up a Doomworld server on skulltag (dedicated)?

[Edward850]

What do you mean 'flawed'? Is seems to run fine actually.

I don't think you require admin approval to launch a server in Doomworld's name.

Just making sure... Ill put the password in a thread as soon as its up which will be soon.

Just installed Odamex 'cause I wanted to give it a try. There is not a single player on some server listed by default...

Did connect to some exciting MAP01 dm against myself. Seemed to work so far.

I have no trouble finding a coop server on Skulltag. Particularly survival coop. It often helps to join one and play by yourself, in less than 10 minutes someone will be there. Once theres 2 people, a third will show up in less than 5, then it's a party after that.

This is pretty much the reason why I don't play online very often. Those people do not make it an enjoyable experience for me.

[kristus]

Cooperative with strangers is meaningless to me.

[Scet]

Couldn't make it last night, Internet decided to die around 6pm. There are third-world countries will cheaper and better Internet than North America.

Any I saw Lord_Dweedle in a survival coop server much later, and nobody swore or telefragged us. Maybe his luck has changed?
