Game Night

[Rellik_jmd]

So we should have some kind of regular evening to get together and repeatedly murder each other, what do you think? What day(s) work for everyone? I work pretty long days during the week but weekends I might be able to get some fragging in, or at least leave a server running for ya's.

If we could get some regular stuff happening, maybe form a bit of a league or something too. Ladders, rankings, etc. I wonder if there's any chance of us getting a version of DC for Legacy like Skulltag has? Heh, probably not given Pascals irrational hatred of Legacy.... :p

So yeah, gotta couple days of the week you wanna play? Maybe we can get something organized.

[Danimetal]

I would join but I´m a really bad DM player, even more with Legacy´s lag. Still, I can try to join when I see what days and hours fit people.

Given that, this renders my other thread obsolete :P. Nah, let´s see if I can host some cooperative tonight :D.

[MR_ROCKET]

Weekends are good for me and late nights during the week before bed, around 10 or so should be good but midnight is sorta pushin it heh.
If its possible to leave that sucker runnin, then thattle work too :)

[Rellik_jmd]

Dani this thread is more just for people to post what time they'd be most likely to play, that's all. Weekend nights hopefully I'll be able to do some stuff. I dunno. After all this time--and considering how fractured the Legacy Dm community already was--it's gonna be hard to get anything going again. I should finish up that fragglescript module for the gibs and kill awards then put it into some good standard maps like MAP01, D5MAP01, a couple others. I think if we get some new netcode someday this'll be 1000 times easier. :-p

[Rellik_jmd]

Just played some DM and had a total blast. bunch of us got to 100+ frags. Too bad I didn't record a demo. Ah well. Next time. Oh that reminds me:

RECORD DEMO'S! Share your fame with all of us! There were some wicked frags that match that coulda made good clips for a frag video. :-)

[Danimetal]

Great game tonight :).

[MR_ROCKET]

Yes it was a kickass game yesterday. heh some good in-mid-air kills too, those are always fun. definitely demo quality.
We'l have to do this like every weekend, good stuff :)

oh yeah, remind me to take the phone off the hook. *wacky*

[Rellik_jmd]

but what would a match with Rocket be without the

MR.ROCKET: brb phone

Might think it was an impostor otherwise. :-)

[Danimetal]

Heh, I remember him saying something about some guitar players... And I still haven´t heard any of his drumming!.

Well, are we holding a DM game again this weekend?. What about a proposal of maps and stablishing some kind of results post?. That could attract people. We could also discuss some cooperative (the great E1 run XD) and team deathmatch if we´re in the mood.

[Andy Tran]

Saturday nights are good for me. 8 PM to 12 PM is enough for saturdays. I watch TV after 12 usually.

[Danimetal]

What´s your timezone?.

[Doomplayer3]

Any day is good for me as long as it's before 9:30 on weekdays and any time on weekends.What's the Ip address?

[Alien[QNET]]

I'm in too, and the time isn't a problem, for legacyDM i make some extra hours :)
Maybe some friends of me will join too...

[MR_ROCKET]

but what would a match with Rocket be without the

MR.ROCKET: brb phone

Might think it was an impostor otherwise. :-)

Ahahaha, yeah that's a dead give away isn't it. that or brb - need drink.
What's cool about this is sometimes when I come back, I'v had a break and I'll still be in first place. :D

[Danimetal]

What's cool about this is sometimes when I come back, I'v had a break and I'll still be in first place. :DBut your luck won´t last forever *wacky* ... I have some familiar issues this Saturday morning so I won´t be there in Friday. Surely Saturday night will be my moment to join :).

[Rellik_jmd]

What's the Ip address?

Keep an eye on the server listing and in the chatroom. It'll probably vary. Hopefully this'll be another good weekend for fragging.

[iori]

Rellik couldnt frag the pants off of a llama *dark*

[The Undertaker]

The latency from Mars is really bad so you have to give him some credit.

[Doomplayer3]

I'll keep an eye out in the chatroom and see if I'll be able to play

[Rellik_jmd]

You cold hearted bastards! That's it, the wedding's OFF!

[Rellik_jmd]

Demo recorded:

http://www3.telus.net/public/daewoo/download/doom2-MAP01-TY-Rellik.zip

doom2 - map01

some entertaining stuff, partake.

[Alien[QNET]]

oh crap.. I missed the show.
i only found an empty MAP01 full of dead fellow spacemarines :)

[Rellik_jmd]

there's always tonight. :)

[Alien[QNET]]

Tonight I'm ready :-)
Where's the server located, the laag was very strong and ping about 200, yesterday when i connected :-/ and i was the only player on the server
I hope it'll be playable

[Danimetal]

Let´s see... Your tonight is my late AM... Since I drank real bad today I don´t know if I´ll be able to join. Good luck to all players and hope to see you if I can stay awake!.

[Rellik_jmd]

Son of a bitch, has anyone else tried to play that demo? I think Legacy buggered it up damn it. There better be a way to get it working or I'm going to be a very unhappy camper. When you load it in the Legacy launcher it doesn't display any game info and says it has 0 players. When I launch it there's nothing rendered, just the console and its messages. Bloody hell, there's some really nice frags in there too. I'll have to see if I can find a demo editing tool maybe.

Hopefully I'll be able to fix a bunch of demo's I have like this. Argh.

[Danimetal]

It says "Map 0" and 0 players for me though when I play it three people join the game and, of course, nothing renders. May be the "Map 0" thing the problem???.

[DOOM_GOAT]

Well I wasn't going to be the first to mention it...

[MR_ROCKET]

Well how in the, Rellik I really think you should squeegee off those big bug eyes of yours *grin*
You made a boo boo HA HA, HA HA, HAA HAA!
kidding *bliss*
Thats alright man, we'll get another demo.
You can be mad at me though, I dent show up to the DM meeting, I should be slutterd !

hmm slutterd, I kinda like the sound of that.

Blah, I'll try and be at the next meeting..I know there was an hour at least out of the day I shoulda been home but missed it.
See you in the next weekend match!
Night

[Danimetal]

Talking about time and hours, I´d appreciate a lot if you posted the approximate time when you´re starting the server and your timezone. I tried to show around during the last meeting but found noone. Was there a match???.

[Rellik_jmd]

It's pretty chaotic. I usually just kind of pop in now and then with no real set schedual.

[MR_ROCKET]

Ok I'll have a server running Doom2 map07 DM3, no exit, no timelimit, no fraglimit, off and on during the week and weekend.
where? +-=( The MEGASPHERE server )=-+
go figure.. http://legacy.newdoom.com/dlms_status.php
when? around 6-10pm GMT central east USA, but that all "depends how long the master server keeps it registered" and if I notice its not running heh.

You know stuff like this would be cool in the new legacy, if you could make it schedule netgame events, where it would kick on and run a netgame at different time frame settings. but a dedicated server setup and a server list that would run independently on your desktop would really be the way to go. *flip*

[MR_ROCKET]

Whoever's hosting the (shite server)-82.46.149.162.
There appears to be a firewall at (hop 9) that blocks unwanted UDP packets.
Thats probably why no one is able to connect to you.

[rustyslacker]

Hello all. <--as you can see, I'm on a grammar binge.

I tried connecting to Mr. Rocket's server, and lag was awful. I'm afraid I won't be able to play until I get broadband. =( dialup is sucky.

[MR_ROCKET]

That it is heh. Yeah I saw a connection timeout message in the console heh *cough. damn chest cold.. arg.

You know co-op isnt bad for dial-up connections though, maybe i'll host some co-op next week.

For the record, I'm on cable..2.5 mb/sec down, 700ishkb/sec upstream.

In other news :

It looks like someone seems to be hacking the server names at the master server page.

Address: 68.58.14.183:5029 Name: (The Megasphere Server)doom2 dm v1.42.21 (Sat Oct 8 00:10:03 2005 GMT)

is dagger still hosting the master server? if so maybe he could figure out whats going on.

[Rellik_jmd]

Wow, that's weak.

[MR_ROCKET]

Yep, Dumb ass kids..

Anyways, I'll try and keep the server running this weekend.
I'd rather see more than 1 player pop on the server at a time, for all fairness it would be better if you guys duked it out while i smoked cigarettes or something. after all this server isn't for me, its for you..
Maybe I'll jump in when the fraglimit hits about 50 or so, and try to catch up :)

[Danimetal]

Maybe I´ll be able to hop in tonight... Errr, my tonight XD!.

[MR_ROCKET]

Time of post, Thy server is running..
Meh it's the weekend ;)

[Danimetal]

Couldn´t make it again :(... By the way, I know that this doesn´t belong here but, how can I contact you Mr Rocket?. The mail function is disabled in your profile and I see no PM options!.

[kwigybo]

I wouldnt mind having a go at a Multiplayer game of doom2. All i need to do is just fix some stuff on my old computer and i can play on that smoothly becasue its just my GFX card a Stupid Legend 64Mi+ 2mb crap. i'm getten a 8mb so it will run smoothly.

Just two qestions...

Where is this server (what country)
What is the lag like for Modem 56kps, Broadband 256kps

[rustyslacker]

I would say that the lag really sucks on 56k. Really really badly. Usually I ping way high, but on legacy all I could do was look around. I couldn't move, the lag was so bad. :(

[Rellik_jmd]

Yeah you really need high-speed. Me and Rocket can play pretty much completely lag free.

[Planky]

Bah, hopefully if I get a new job, I'll either join the gym, or get 2mbit intarweb. Which do you think is most likely, heh.

[The Undertaker]

Gym. Broadband down there is a joke. 10GB cap then you they slow you down to 64kbps.

[Planky]

You're telling me. The only good thing is free national traffic.

[rustyslacker]

Yeah you really need high-speed. Me and Rocket can play pretty much completely lag free.

That's not my choice, unfortunately. If only you could convince my dad....

[MR_ROCKET]

And in this week's line up we have custom DM wads! The first in the list is my own map.
mrparadox.wad legacy version.
I choose this map partly because it's only 342kb + it rocks *grin*
heh I dig the forum upgrades :P

Well in any case, yee who can connect with a reasonable ping, see ya in the game hopefully :)
I'll leave it running..


Oh hey rusty, if you want, you can connect to download the wad. and if you cant play becuase of your current connection, you can run the map in DM mode and use the ADDBOT console command. last time I checked, it ran pretty good with bots..

[kwigybo]

I'm use to lag now because i play other games like rainbow six 3 and mech warrior 3 and i could still kill the other ppl easy all i had to learn is LAG Shots which is like picking the lag of the person and shooting Where they expect to be.

Another Question
Ive got the original doom2.wad but like if u use the freedoom wad would it be able run even though the server is running the original wad. and if it is able would it be able to run the original maps???

[MR_ROCKET]

Shooting where they are expected to be yes or, where you would expect them to be :)

Freedoom is an iwad, I'm pretty sure you should only run it like that for both client and server, as a solo iwad. same goes for Freedm.
So the answer to your question is no, you wouldn't want to connect to a server that's running Doom2 if you have Freedoom loaded, just like you don't want to have Heretic loaded and try connecting to a server running Doom. heh

This brings something else up, make sure if your hosting a server to include in the server name, which iwad your running. that way the client will know which iwad to select before hand.

[Danimetal]

Now that Rocket is here and this is in another page I´ll try again :P. Mr Rocket, is there any way I can contact you?. I don´t get the PM to work and lost your mail adress.

[kwigybo]

What if?
I can use NWT to put Doom2 Maps into the Freedoom iwad. It should work becasue the grapics and details are not a problem its just the original maps thats all. Just a Theory, thou u could be correct that Freedoom is a Iwad that can only run its own server

I'll get a ATX case and a LAN cable a test it...
i'll come back and tell yas.

(I really think that ur right rocket that u couldnt, but its worth a try)

[MR_ROCKET]

danimetal : NO!
hehehe..why whats up man?

kwigybo, I'm not sure what your wanting to do..or why you would be wanting to..you might want to ask rellik..and let him tell it..because the next thing you might do is try to sell it..yo :P

I think what you might want to do though is make a pwad for freedoom?
/me does a little shuffle..

[Danimetal]

Getting lost, I assume that was an answer to some other question :P. Anyway, do you mind if I use the "Megawad" banner you made to link Doom_Dude´s site with my own site?. Could you be interested in crosslinking with my site?. I´ll wait for your reply before making any changes to the site.

About hosting a custom map. I remember that Legacy will instantly download the map and stuff (don´t know what folder it will use though) but, will it display some message about it?. I´m starting to think that all these times I tried to connect and waited for a long time with no results could be due to that downloading.

Yeah no problem man, actually I was planning on messaging you about that the other day, because I'v already fixed up a link to your site, its right above the team hell spawn link in the list of links at my site lol - but i need to fix it up a little.

yes the first time legacy auto downloads a map, it creates a Downloads folder in your legacy directory. and yes it will show the download progress in the console.
this is the first time in the past week since iv had the server running that I decided to add a pwad. but I know what you mean. depending on the connection you may just not be able to connect to some servers. but in your case, I probably was asleep, you see its really late over here right now 4:21 am, I'm off today and I'm sick as a dog heh - anyways the server probably just wasnt running :\ but if you do connect, the downloadable file is only 342kb so it shouldnt take no time, even for a dialup connection..

[kwigybo]

Ok i found out that i can Extract all of the DOOM2 Maps into a .raw and .wad
And i can change the Freedoom maps from the .raw file and valor it works but i havent tested it on a network yet. hmmmm the big test. i wonder if this would be much easier i just get freedoom and load legacy and just type in console Add file maps.wad. i wonder if that work i'll tect them later.

Sorry for bringing yous off the topic but like u just wonder about thing that ya can edit.

But i'll keep it to my self.

I might as well build a mod if i'm going to do this much editing to the doom2.wad. (No i wont sell it i'll just make it for ppl who actuly have the doom2.wad or freedoom)

But anyways back on topic (kinda), How many players really play on your server Rocket? and where do u get custom skins from???

heh ok, well as long as you dont modifiy any wads then I dont care what you do.
I'm not sure what kind of editing you think you should be doing, but you dont edit the iwads. You start from scratch in an empty grid area and biuld it from the ground up, at least thats the way I'v always done it.

About my server, not alot yet, It's only been somewhat visable about a week. hmm about 2-3 games a day so far.

[kwigybo]

Where is this server(country), because and when does it come on (time).

Because I can normally tell the latency i'm going to get from where the country is,

Because normally with 56kps
Europe = 512ms
North America = 476ms
South America = 432ms
Asia = 476 (same as North America)
Ociania = 250ms
Local Internet Server = 156ms
NOTE: these are all averages and has been tested on a MAXED OUT modem Complete 56kps, and been tested in Rural Australia.
NOTE: These server had the connection of 512kps and i was running a simple Program That uses to test latency between servers and clients.

Even this doesnt matters to you what so ever i would really like to know about the the questions i made.

[MR_ROCKET]

North America - around 6-10pm GMT central east USA
The Megasphere server
http://legacy.newdoom.com/dlms_status.php

It does matter, it's just not clear for me to understand what your saying with some of your questions, but I try to answer them the best I can.

[Danimetal]

Yeah no problem man, actually I was planning on messaging you about that the other day, because I'v already fixed up a link to your site, its right above the team hell spawn link in the list of links at my site lol - but i need to fix it up a little.
Great :D!!!. Prepare yourself to be linked. I´ll prepare yours and Doom_Dude´s right now!... I´ll think of more people to contact, specially Doom Legacy lovers like Jive (that would give me a good excuse to mail him and ask how he´s doing :)).

[MR_ROCKET]

Ok now everyone make a Legacy.exe shortcut, place it on your desktop then apply these changes to it : *grin*
Legacy.exe" -opengl +connect 68.58.14.183

Run that to connect with a single click, as long as the servers running you should connect.
If you dont have a video card that will render opengl, then remove the -opengl part.
Ofcorse your Doom2.wad will need to be in your legacy directory for this shortcut to work.
Name the shortcut something like Legacy netgame.

see you there.

[Danimetal]

Legacy.exe" -opengl +connect 68.58.14.183
Most likely to format your hard drive :P... But it´s a nice idea, if we had permanent servers you could create several shortcuts and stack them in a folder.

[Rellik_jmd]

What if?
I can use NWT to put Doom2 Maps into the Freedoom iwad. It should work becasue the grapics and details are not a problem its just the original maps thats all. Just a Theory, thou u could be correct that Freedoom is a Iwad that can only run its own server

i'll come back and tell yas.

(I really think that ur right rocket that u couldnt, but its worth a try)

Legacy will compare the Iwads and if they aren't absolutely identical it'll boot you with a consistancy error. This keeps people from cheating with hacked wads.

[MR_ROCKET]

Well said, cheating is for sissys..

(I really think that ur right rocket that u couldnt, but its worth a try)
heh, wtf is this guy talking about anyway?


But it´s a nice idea, if we had permanent servers you could create several shortcuts and stack them in a folder.

Well for the most part the servers been running pretty steady a little over a week now, and I'll try to keep it permanent over the weekends. so a shortcut to connect to it really would be worth while, heh I'm using one just like it to connect to my server thats running right now :)

[Danimetal]

I have my shortcut to your server into a new folder so please, don´t forget to tell us if you changed it :D.

[MR_ROCKET]

Ok good, all should be the same, although I'll only have the server running until around 6pm this evening.. - I'm gonna be using my server/laptop as a getto style recording studio until late tonight, then I'll hook it back up as a server when done.

Until then ! check this out..http://forums.newdoom.com/showthread.php?p=446382#post446382

Have fun and see you in the game late tonight maybe

[MR_ROCKET]

Someone seriously needs to make it known that if you run an internet server, you need to allow Legacy.exe in your xp firewall settings, and if routed make sure to forward port 5029 upd in and out.. if not your server might be visible on the server stats page but no one will be able to connect to your game.
So make sure to check in to that people. you'll be wasting your time otherwise. :\
Reason I bring this up is well, on a daily bases there seems to be a good handful of servers reported but no one can connect to them..

This stuff has been said in the faq doc's but not the part about xp's firewall, or any 3rd party firewall. it needs to be mentioned in the faq to allow the exe and or port # aswell..

[Mike.Reiner]

Hey, this could be good for old times sake, haven't played with you guys for a good while, hope we can get a game goin sometime.

[Rellik_jmd]

I might get on tonight but I have the flu and it's *killin* me. Arrrgh.

[Danimetal]

Had too much rum tonight and gonna have a nice hangover... I won´t join.

[MR_ROCKET]

Welp, server's running..:)
Hopefully I'll see ya in game.

Until then, "Free asprin for everyone !"

Get well soon Rellik !

[Mike.Reiner]

Arhg I missed it, man, I should watch these forums more closely... hehe

[Danimetal]

Until then, "Free asprin for everyone !"
Thanks, I´m almost needing it now!.

[MR_ROCKET]

Servers is teh runningah..
See you in the game tonight :)

[Rellik_jmd]

I'm gonna try to get some fraggin in tonight, busy though. Argh. Jimmy gots ta get his frag on knowwhatI'msayin?

[MR_ROCKET]

It's ON cuz..
As said, I'd rather see more than 1 player connect at a time. its like a player an hour or something over here. I might play I might not.
The best way we could do this is to have yee whos posting in this thread connect at a given time! and you guys frag each other. then I'll jump in later to rape the winnah*dark*
yo people its the weekend !

[Dagger]

Damn i missed another legacy game :(

[conorkirk]

Are you guys still running those servers?



If you want I could make one (I bypassed my router and it is plugged directly into the modem now)


And if you can't join it then say so!



It will be called conorkirk with doom shareware (yes i kno, I dont have the more fun doom 2 srry!)

E1M1 If you have a better idea for a mutliplayer map then say so!

[conorkirk]

Actually, I just obtained the doom 2 wad



so now I can host a server with doom 2.



Could somebody give me a suggestion of what map to start this in?

[rustyslacker]

MAP03, E1M2, MAP31, and E2M2 are good multiplayer maps.

[Rellik_jmd]

MAP01 is easy and popular.

[Dagger]

Rellik plays Doom?

[Rellik_jmd]

Rellik has been dooming all morning. Fingers of left hand are permanently curled into claws. :-p

[Planky]

Im getting broadband on Wednesday, so I should be able to join the next game night.

[The Undertaker]

If you can call it that down there.

[Planky]

3.5mbps ain't too bad, better than 256k that was only available until a year ago. Datacap's suck ass though.

[MR_ROCKET]

I have a server running:
I'll try and keep it running through the weekend as well.
Doom2 1.9 Map07 DM for now..

Happy fragginz ;)

[PumpkinSmasher]

hmm...I somehow managed to miss this thread for the past 10 or so months.

[MR_ROCKET]

Yeah, I check it from time to time but didn't see anything happening lately so I finally decided to brake down and run a server heh.

[MR_ROCKET]

Well that server was running for awhile. :D
The hdd pooped out on my laptop, so now its just deadicated..:(

Anyway, someone host up some goodies !
http://legacy.newdoom.com/dmdownloads.php

[Mike.Reiner]

So does anyone feel like trying this gig out again? I'd love to play some dm with ya again rocket, you too rellik.

I can host up a server of any port ya like, but the ping probably wouldn't be too great.

Currently hosting: Doom Legacy 1.42 DooM2 Map07

IP: 71.219.20.125 (it's variable, so i'll update it as it changes. I wish the master server was working heh.)

[MR_ROCKET]

Heh cool, I'll see ya in there, well :P I just did, but see ya when ever it's running! hopefully ;)
Hell yeah ! :)

[Rellik_jmd]

I've been meaning to get back into the game, hopefully I'll be able to do that soon.

[Mike.Reiner]

I'll keep it up as much as I can. Also, if you guys would prefer to use another port until legacy2.0 becomes a viable option, I'm open to that as well...
I mean lets face it, the C version of legacy has pretty shoddy netcode for anything over 80 ping..

Oh, and New IP: 71.219.20.125

edit: arhg, the computer I was using to host the game over heats. I woke this morning to a 52C hard drive and 61C CPU. I need to fix that :/

[Rellik_jmd]

Heh, ouch. You know I would be open to using something like OpenGl Skulltag for the time being as long as it's not on map with all those crazy power-ups and stuff. Jimmy ain't into that. :p It is kind of a pain in the ass to play Legacy online for now, but it would still be nice to play. There's Odamex and ZDaemon too.

We should make a rule that everyone who shows up has to bring a new map, either one they've made or a good one they've found that hasn't been played much. There are so many great maps out there and yet so many time people just play the same old tired levels...

Heh, or maybe everyone has to bring a new map every week for us to play. Give us a chance to flex our (tiny) mapping muscles too. :)

[Mike.Reiner]

Well shoot. I can host up a Judas23_ skulltag game. That level is friggin awesome man.
Exec, brit11, greenwar, shoot.. gotta go find some other good ones too.

Welp, i'm gonna host up a Skulltag game, no crazy crap attached.

My old compy can handle that, running legacy online puts the cpu at 100% usage... but ST is like 10 lol.

OK, SkullTag server is up. Judas23_.wad Theres none of that crazy stuff enabled, I configured it to be as close to old school as I can. *thumbs*
71.35.239.249:5030

The server's name is "Mike's DM!" so you can just look at the server list and find it there as well. No password. I can set one if you guys like.

Oh dear Jesus no Brit wads! If I gotta play those maps one more time I'm-ah chew the cord off my mouse! :D

Harhar.. how aboot judas23 then eH!?

Personally, exec is my favorite dm, EVER.

[Mike.Reiner]

Thats it, I give up on skulltag. I CANNOT get it to behave, at all. I dont' know what it is, but I can't get it to play smoothly. I get 80 ping on lan, then it just freezes up. It does it on my friend's pc too, so screw ST until they get their crap in order.

I've decided to take the easy route and just make a ZDaemon server.
It's easy on resouces and doesn't cause this poor old PC to overheat.

The server name is Mike.Reiner's DM

I'll host whatever ya guys like. Current I have exec.wad up. If you want anything more obscure and worth looking at, just shoot me a PM.

[Rellik_jmd]

Cool, I might have to give that a go on my day off tomorrow.

[MR_ROCKET]

Did anyone join up Mike?

[Heidi]

I'm running my very own glegacy.exe (1.43), launcher.exe, r_opengl.dll, fmod.dll and legacy.dat. Is there a way for me to join a regular 1.42 game?

[Rellik_jmd]

You need to have the same version as the game you wish to join, they aren't compatible between versions.

[MR_ROCKET]

And there needs to be an IWAD in the mix somewhere. :P
Which also needs to be the same version.

[Heidi]

Now that you mention IWAD's, you wouldn't believe how many people still play Legacy online without building nodes, it's sad and frustrating :D

[MR_ROCKET]

And that brings something up, wouldn't it make things easier if Legacy2 was distributed with specific patched iwad version vis and bsp's?
That is.. if it's not a completely automatic thing at runtime.

Anyways, whens the next Game Night? :P

[Mike.Reiner]

DM is just too aggravating in legacy. anything above like 78 ping becomes unplayable.

All i've been doing lately is playing coop with macro.

[MR_ROCKET]

Yeah definitely need a super low ping in legacy1.4x for internet play.
It's base netcode was meant for LAN use and that was about it, but if you get a 40-50 ping then it should be good enough for DM on the intornut.

[mjrico]

Hello i´m new :-)

I downloading this legacy programm, and i use my version from my "collector edition" doom2 :-)

But nobody play online??

Why???

[MR_ROCKET]

It seems that with most sourceports that don't have a stand alone server scanner won't get as much online play if any..
Due to the fact that most players would rather just scan for servers and know what's hosted before attempting to even run the game.

So that's pretty much what this thread's about, to hook up with someone and organize a game. ;)

[NilBud]

Perhaps we should try reviving this.

[Mystic]

thats a very good idea, I have never played Legacy DM on the internet.

[NilBud]

Well i'm always floating around on doom connector.

[Mystic]

I had no idea doom connector was still available, I thought it died years ago. Where can I get a copy?

[Tea Monster]

What kind of connection do you need? I have an absolutely diabolical dial up at 10kbps *cacevl* *cacmad* *caccry* *cacsad*

Yes, that wasn't a typo.

Any hope or is my only consolation a warm bath and a razor blade?

[Tea Monster]

I'd like to give it a go ("there is no try..." sigh). I just don't want everyone to say "Tea Monster is that guy standing in the corner over there."

[Tea Monster]

Hey KronoNomikon! I just saw your post. I've downloaded DC and I'll give it a whirl tomorrow.

[Tea Monster]

Are people playing legacy or Doomsday?

[Mystic]

I should be trying in the next few days, just downloaded it but working tonight and tomorrow

[Tea Monster]

Whats with Skulltag? Anyone know which one is better for dialup? I was going to grab a copy, but its like 20mb, which for me is "Ahhhhkkkkk!" Also, do people play doomsday online?

[CrazedImp]

Compared to the likes of Skulltag and ZDaemon, Legacy and Doomsday are practically dead online. You are better off downloading Skulltag if you want to play some multiplayer.

[Mystic]

Im not dissing skulltag, I know its a great multiplayer port and some talented mappers design specifically for it but I still want a shot at online Legacy DM if possible. The way to stop a port from being 'practically dead online' is to use it rather than forget it. No reason why legacy cant get some online life back.

[Tea Monster]

Thanks for the input. I'll grab a copy somehow of Skulltag and give it whirl. I'm very interested in maximum performance as my connection is so crap.

[Tea Monster]

I borrowed my Son's laptop to download skulltag from the local library(quiet sobbing). I'll set that up this weekend.

I know what you mean about the time. My Daughter says to me yesterday. "You knew that tomorrow was Christmas Eve don't you?" I'm like "Huh?" God, I need a calendar, not a wristwatch.

On the putie front, It does seem like just yesterday I was playing with DCK and BUILD on my P1 233 Sigh.

I've got Doom connector. I logged on and there was one server in Orlando and one in France (They Doom in France?). I'll have to give it a whirl in the next few days (but probably not tomorrow!!!).

[Mystic]

could have been one of the Legacy team in France. Im going to try and get connector up and running too, if you spot someone from Scotland it might be me

[King]

I'll have a dead simple, no limits, no exits, from 10:00-12:00 on each morning, called DeadsimpleUV.
