JoeInNC Posted November 5, 2014 Hi@all, I'm searching for days for a wad-file with "little" levels to play a deathmatch on LAN, but can't find one. I'm using Chocolate-Doom! (Can run Doom2 in Dosbox for tests too, but the LAN-mode in Chocolate-Doom runs really great.) doom2.wad, Tnt.wad, DOOM2.wad and Plutonia.wad are running great with Chocolate-Doom, but e.g. dmw.wad (levels to big) don't starts while it runs on Doom2 in Dosbox. Hope somebody has a tip for me, Joe. 0 Share this post Link to post
VGA Posted November 5, 2014 Search for vanilla death match wads. Maybe that famous DWANGO pack? Under DOS you can use Doom2plus instead of the original executable, it has higher limits. You sure you don't want to use Zandronum? It's great for multiplayer. 0 Share this post Link to post
JoeInNC Posted November 7, 2014 Hi VGA and@all, thanks for your answer! It made me some nice research work. I think it is very usable "in future" to me, nice tips! But here the feedback for today: VGA said:Search for vanilla death match wads. Maybe that famous DWANGO pack? Found dwango.zip, just an executable in there, so I started the exe with dosbox. Mmmh: somehow a tool...(?) Tried 1dwangol.zip too (wad in there). But whether chocolate-doom nor doom2 (dosbox) works with it :-(. Found a video of level 1 on youtube: looks pretty much, what I'm looking for! :-) Under DOS you can use Doom2plus instead of the original executable, it has higher limits. Have still a version of DOOMIT, would work fine in dosbox. But I try to avoid the IPX configuration (DOOM2 in dosbox --> OS) You sure you don't want to use Zandronum? It's great for multiplayer. [/B] Fantastic tip, looks great (for the future)! But can't find LAN functionality (did I over read that?) [/quote]So thanks for the great tips! But I may have to explain further, what I'd like at the moment: Chocolate-Doom is really running great, especially the LAN-function. And thats all, what I want for the moment (without: kicking my kids a*s and frag and train them for an Internet game ;-) I have some great levels for Cooperative, but not for Deathmatch. I had some im the 80/90s, got lost, damn. Great Levels for deathmatch mean to me: Small maps, mayby some nice places behind invisible walls, just levels, where you don't have to search 10 min to make a frag. Where you know, where the good weapons are located and run for them after respawn (or wait for the poor one who tries it in a hideout <FRAG>). The video I wrote about (see above), is close to that. (BTW, is here somewhere a Chocolate-Doom thread, couldn't find one.) However, maybe somebody has a download link for a nice wad to try. (The main issue here seems to be the formate, doom2.wad runs great. So a modified doom2.wad should work. Some other wads seems to be merged with original wads. Can't understand. I seem not to be able with the shareware version...guess here are a lot of people who have more experiences, than me with the new stuff. (Could help to play doom with a 486 PC and a coax net - forget about - does nobody need anymore.) Thanks, Joe. 0 Share this post Link to post
VGA Posted November 7, 2014 Read here about the dwango pack http://doomwiki.org/wiki/DWANGO Get it here http://wadhost.fathax.com/download.php?view.15 I think some maps need to be loaded with doom2.wad and some with doom.wad. The shareware wad (doom1.wad) is useless. This tool can help setting up a LAN or online server etc, zandronum,too http://doomseeker.drdteam.org/ Here is another mappack for single and multiplayer http://www.doomworld.com/idgames/?file=levels/doom2/megawads/dmonfear.zip 0 Share this post Link to post
