Guest icehouse Posted July 26, 2000 I admit, I am rather new at PC Doom (Playstation and Jaguar for years however). That said, I am also rather new at PCs. OK, I have the shareware version currently, along with zDoom. My friends have the same. I have read everything I can find in forums and folders to no avail. Can someone clue me in as to how to play a cooperative game over the internet? Please? Thanks. 0 Share this post Link to post
stphrz Posted July 26, 2000 I don't think you can play co-op over the internet yet. You can using the original shareware and the original executable via dialup. You need a regular modem for that though. Of course you will also have to pay long distance charges unless your buddies live close by, which sucks of course. 0 Share this post Link to post

Guest icehouse Posted July 26, 2000 Yes, it does mention DM play. But, I am dying to play co-op. If I am missing something there regarding co-op play, please feel free to mention it... Thanks. 0 Share this post Link to post
Arioch Posted July 26, 2000 You can play co-op using the zdoom executable. One of you just use "zdoom -host" and add the parameters for a co-op game (look in readme.txt from zdoom), and the other one just "zdoom -join <ip_of_host>". Amazingly simple process, eh? 0 Share this post Link to post
boris Posted July 26, 2000 ZDooM is in co-op mode by default. Host: zdoom -host x +map map01 -skill 5 (x is the number of players) Clients: zdoom -join [ipofhost] that's all. Clients don't need to add most parameters the host has to, except stuff like -dup or -extratic (or however it is called) 0 Share this post Link to post
