[TUTORIAL] DoomSeeker for Mega Man 8-bit Deathmatch

[Infamous]

I can no longer get online. I keep getting this error message

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/210111982282604547/345556236189564938/image.png

I already redownloaded the game and followed all the steps. I have no idea what to do.

When i try to connect to an online game, it says that i am using a different/older version of zandronum than the server is using. Could someone please tell me how i can upgrade to 2040 without messing up my game?

Greetings Cutman Mike,

I regret to inform you that whenever I try to join a server this message pops up...

Script error, "8bdm_jampack-v3a.pk3:c-bon04.wad:MAPINFO" line 7:
Unknown property 'UsePlayerStartZ' found in map definition\

...and then it displays this.

Script error, "mm8bdm-v5b.pk3:actors/player/megaman-flags.txt" line 2:
Expected '{', got 'Ignition'.

... I swear I followed the directions perfectly but, for some reason that keeps poping up.
If you could help me with my problem I would be very grateful.

You need to upgrade your 8BDM and Zandronum versions.

First redownload 8bdm: http://cutstuff.net/public/MM8BDM-v5b.zip

Extract it into your 8bdm folder and overwrite all files. Don't worry, you won't lose any save progress or settings.

Next, do the same for the latest beta of Zandronum: https://zandronum.com/downloads/testing/3.0/ZandroDev3.0-170806-2040windows.zip

The last step will not be required once V5C hits but we have no idea when that is happening.

So every time I have tried to join a server so far, the console's last few lines are:
FAILED TO CONNECT. YOUR PROTOCOL VERSION IS DIFFERENT.
SERVER USES: 3. 0-ALPHA-R170806-2040
YOU USE: 3. 0-ALPHA-R170625-1906
Any help?

See above post

Ok, sorry to bother you again, but now I can't join servers again. It says my version is different and that I need Zandronum 3.0, but I just installed that. I even uninstalled and reinstalled both of them and I still can't join.

[CutmanMike]

A new version just released not too long ago and some servers are up to date and others aren't. I'd give it a while before trying to join again as people still need to update.

[Gold Pie]

Its been a week and no dice. Im not sure what else to do.

[CutmanMike]

Pretty much all servers should be running 3.0 now, grab it from here: https://zandronum.com/downloads/zandronum3.0-win32-base.zip and extract it into your mm8bdm folder. Make sure doomseeker is pointing to the right zandronum.exe (in the mm8bdm folder you just extracted to) and uncheck the testing releases checkbox.

Thanks a lot! It works like a charm. Now, another question is: I am trying to join another persons server and I get the all the WADS but one I can't get. It's called ripcrystal.wad and i was wondering if you knew where I could grab it.

[CutmanMike]

Are people hosting servers with that? I made it for cheat servers, it has limited use but you can get it here https://allfearthesentinel.net/zandronum/download.php?file=ripcrystal.wad
