questions about addons and multiplayer

genesis86

hi
i found out about the doomsday engine many years ago and downloaded many addons, sounds and textures. i think the latest version i used was 1.6.8 and i always had problems with ne new launcher. thats why i used kickstart till now. now my questions:

how to use my old addon files in my jdoom directory? i have many different directories with different filetypes. i got "auto", "music", "patches" and "textures. fileformats are pk3,mp3,ogg and png. ist it possible to make all my files work with 1.9.7 and the "snowberry" launcher that it uses?

the other question i have is about the multiplayer. does doomsday work using the vpn tool "tunngle"?

thanks for any help and for the great engine so far

to answer your first question we have a ton of new and updated addons but if you want to use your old ones then turn them into pk3 files and add them to snowberry/addons and your good to go and for your second i do not have a clue but maybe one of the deves do

ok, thanks for the reply. i think i'll try to download the updated addons i can find here. i guess there are all models and textures, but what about high res fonts, hud, hud face and startscreen? i also have some great remixes of the onld midis, that i found in a doom mod for doom 3 (at least i think i got the music from that mod). if i like my old music better, all ask here again about hot to create own pk3s.

nothing to do with my questions but, how about high res versions of weapon and enemy sprites? i guess its too much work, is it?

EDIT:
ok, i downloaded all addons and so far it works, but i noticed some things that are missing. for example some parts of my hud are old and some are remade. also in my older version i had high res fonts, that i don't see in the new version. another thing i noticed was the missing of the detailed texture layer (if you can call that so ) and many textures my eyes got used to from playing again and again now seem to be less detailed.

am i right that the texture addon i got here is only 102 mb? i wonder why my old folder is 208 mb. i got 866 png textures. can anyone tll me hom many there are in the 102 mb pack? and if there is a way to put all my old pngs in a pk3 and use them instead, what do i need to do it? i like the old textures i have better (more detail and contrast).

sorry for so many questions, but i want to play coop again )

all the weapons should have updated 3d models but not all of the game have them done and for the texture pack if it's doom then not all the textures are done but there optimized so it takes up less space
