How to connect to servers

WhiteMagicRaven

I cannot enter this server using either doomsday 1.15.4.0 and Doomsday 2.0.0.0 (Unstable) i have iwads of all doom's from steam, and pl2.wad
the engine doesnot tell me reason why it cant connect
i am guessing it can use another CRC of doom2.wad and pl2.wad i am not sure, but what i see it even doesnot want load pl2.wad
the command line and snowberry doesnot help to load pl2.wad

snowberry is discontinued. to that end do you have the right ports open on your router? if not theirs your problem. you need to have the right ports open to i think play and host games.

i can connect to pure latest iwad version servers, if server use another version of iwad or it uses custom pwads i can't connect.

the command line to directly connect to server?
DOOMSDAY.EXE -IWAD DOOM2.WAD -FILE PL2.WAD (it throws to menu where i need to select single or multiplayer game)
how to load game directly, and how to connect to server directly from command lines?

Gordon

i do not think there is a way i know you can from the consol but thats all i know maby some one who has more expereance can help? also the wiki is a great source if you find up to date info.

command line doesnot work
Doomsday.exe -iwad "c:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Ultimate Doom\base\DOOM.WAD" -connect 5.172.81.141:13209
why?
bugs bugs bugs!!!!!!!!!

Note: You appear to be using an IWAD downloaded with Steam - Doomsday will find this automatically, you don't need to manually specify this path.

Regardless of what you intend to do, if you want to launch Doomsday and load a specific game automatically (you do) then you should specify the -game you want to play on the command line, for example:

doomsday.exe -game doom1-ultimate

It would help if you posted your doomsday.out (see note at the top of this forum) as it may well contain information that can help us to assist you.

This upcoming D-Day 2 is scaring me, I don't know that I have the smarts to do this without a manager (snowberry?)
I like having tick boxes, I like having my hand held, I like to just look at a menu and make my choices. It sounds to me like you are moving the program into a command line control'd environment. I loved DOS back in the day but I was thankful when the hand holding GUI came into being.

DaniJ

No need to worry because that is the complete opposite of the direction we are taking Doomsday for 2.0 Asking users to return to relying on a command line would be quite a backwards step indeed.

Doomsday 2.0 will feature a built-in equivalent of the Snowberry frontend, allowing you to load and manage addons from the homescreen and/or taskbar in addition to the console and command line. Much like one does currently with runtime game changing, joining networked games, loading savegames and configuring settings.

Snowberry is being dropped because it will be superceded and rendered obsolete.

IDK why but it does not work
"doomsday.exe -game doom-ultimate"

DaniJ

Please post your doomsday.out (see note at the top of this forum).

WhiteMagicRaven

okay i figured what the problem
should be "doomsday.exe -game doom1-ultimate"
-game works
-connect seems work not tested (no servers at moment), console telling me about connections and disconnections
-file works
nice thank you very much to everyone !

DaniJ

Whoops, my appologies for the typo.

I'm glad to hear it is now working for you
