doom432

thanks. Ill repost this at the multiplayer forum like you said.

My sister is coming over and I would like to play doom with her using the wireless connection we get at the place I rent. I get to connect to the landlord's network using a usb network adapter, she has a laptop with wireless built in. Im wondering what would be the easiest way to set up a deathmatch so we can both play using the network of my landlord. What doom program (zdoom, legacy) makes it the easiest for me to do this? (im no computer expert). Could we play co-op connected to the same network? (is this even an option?). It would be awesome if we could play co-op using separate computers, since we have played all our co-op using the same computer with split screen and a wireless controller. Thanks for your help.

hell revealed map 30? (hell revealed) Yes I know this might be a noob question (i am a noob, recently got into wads). Can't find the answer anywhere, not this forum not even google. Thank you.

That is awesome. Do you have any idea as to when Legacy 2.0 will be released? I don't think its a problem as long as you have a monitor that is 17 inch or bigger and at least 1 wireless controller (if you have 2 you are set). The minimum requirements would be: 1 person can use the keyboard, player 2 can use the mouse + the keys next to the numlock key (to prevent any problems by having player 1 use everything to the left of the numlock key), and the other player can use a wireless controller.

Using the same computer??? I play co-op with my sis using the same computer (she uses keyboard, i use wireless controller) using doom legacy launcher. I was wondering if 3 player co-op is possible using the same computer. The third player would use the mouse and un-used keys on the keyboard. This should be no problem since before I had the wireless controller she used the keyboard I used the mouse. I recently downloaded the Deus Vult wad and when I load it with doom legacy launcher it has 1,2,3,4 player options (although for some reason I can't chose any of those options when I press the down arrow on the keyboard, instead if goes into the original doom menu options instead of moving up/down in the Deus Vult options) Is 3 player co-op available and does anyone know how to work the Deus Vult options? sorry if this has been asked before I did a search and I found nothing about this, thanks for the help

Thanks a lot for your help, I understand everything better now. Just 1 more question. I am thinking of buying the doom collectors bundle (has ultimate doom, doom ii, final doom) will the user made levels work with this, or do I need to buy a single doom game? I ask this because sometimes when they bundle a collection of so many games they might come in one file, and maybe I won't have the right file to play the user made levels. do you know if the collectors bundle will work for playing the user made levels?

Let me just give some background info. Last time I played doom was many years ago (final doom). I don't own any gaming consoles I own just a computer but I don't own any doom games. Doom 3 coming out reminded me of all the fun of playing final doom in HS when I rented a PS just to play Final Doom. I read the news of doom 3 and reviews and decided to save the money as it is just like quake 2. They put an end to the fun and gun style of the classic doom which i loved (i bought quake 2 when it came out and was dissapointed). I have read about wads/ports and sincerely I don't understand it! i'm a total newbie at this and there are no total newbie articles on how to get started. All I know is that I can play thousands of doom levels made by the many doom fans out there. This is all I want, But how? Somebody put an end to my suffering and tell me what do I need to do to play all the thousands of levels out there for the classic dooms? do I need to buy doom 1, doom II, final doom? just tell me ill do it! I have win 98. Tell me what do I need to read to get all this? I am new to all this stuff and I know many will think im some kind of noob that wants quick answers. Not so, direct me to articles I need to read, i just wanna play doom dammit! what do i buy? what do i read? what do i download? Put an end to my suffering please!
