Does the master server work?
Hey all, I've actually been a doom fan since it first came out. I've been successful gathering people on IRC together for a good fragfest in my favorite map DWANGO6.WAD but, I was wondering if the master server actually works or not?
IE: if I make a server on my own and announce it to the master server, will people be able to view my game and join in on it?
Or is the only way to play by giving people your IP address manually? IE: no strangers will ever join
I would like to host a public server for co-op or deathmatch or anything but need people to play with.
If anyone is interested in exchanging contact info, any time, just send me a PM because I'm always down to play!
Cheers and thanks in advance!

The comparatively now ancient Doomsday 1.8.6 features functional multiplayer, however you have to update the master server address in the multiplayer setup to "http://dengine.net/master.php" as it's moved since 1.8.6 was released.
As far as I am aware, any games using the same version of Doomsday should show up in the multiplayer setup if you connect to the master server. However as much as I hate to belittle Doomsday, no one currently uses it for multiplayer, which may change once a version of 1.9/2.0 is relased with restored multiplayer.
I'm going to try making a game now. 1.8.6 is indeed what I was using, I've never tried anything newer
Cheers!
The URL
http://www.dengine.net/master.php does in fact work, but its completely empty.
I've tried changing the default value at server creation time from "www.doomsdayhq.com" to both "www.dengine.net/master.php" and "http://www.dengine.net/master.php" but the server still never appears on the master list..
I know how to port forward and all ports are open and working.. I wonder if I need to enter the URL a certain way in the field?
Any ideas?
Thanks
You simply enter 'www.dengine.net'
no http:// preceding it or /master.php appending it
So I can host if anyone wants to play!
I would like to try, but time-Zone? Canada far from me! I play - you sleep, you play - i sleep, may be...
Good that 'dengine.net' server works! If someone sees sometimes < PVS > Doomsday server in list - Welcome!
I am currently testing a Heretic game, do something and starting a small test. Almost always - a small test turns into an one episode run! There is DDay - nothing impossible to small test!
You probably do not understand my bad English, sorry.
duckdown if you play with friends - record the demos! I'm happy to look and collect them.
