[TUTORIAL] DoomSeeker for Mega Man 8-bit Deathmatch

[Korby]

Just join a server when you see people playing.
Asking people to play via forum is generally a really bad way to go about it because it's not an instant messenger system.

There is nobody inside brother nobody playing inside i see only a server with only bots inside and i am realy bored please tell me you got my massage

[Korby]

I did get your message, yes.
To answer it here, no, don't really want to play right now [an hour ago]

If your problem is that you can't download a lot of wads or pk3s because of data plans, it's kind of tought to say but you're probably playing the wrong game, mate.
Almost all of the servers run at least one mod. Even the most popular vanilla servers of Duel and TLMS run mods to help make the game more enjoyable.

Again, my only suggestion is to join a server with people on it. You could attempt to populate a server by joining it and waiting around for people as well.
Asking people to play on a forum very rarely works unless it's planned out far ahead as an event.

Whenever I open a server, it states that zandorum is outdated. Even if I installed the lates version of zandorum. Please help!

What version of Zandronum do you have? It should say it on the MM8BDM window whenever you open it and the servers are using 2.1.2

(click to show/hide)

Also, make sure you have the path set to the right Zandronum executable, which should be placed inside your MM8BDM folder.

Could this topic redirect to viewtopic.php?f=44&t=10141 please? I wrote up both of these guides and this one is super outdated.

I do have all of those... but here is the thing. I downloaded zandorum 2.1.2, however, when I look at the tab name, it says it is 2.0

I don't know why....

[Rui]

Hmm.. Doomseeker might be opening the wrong Zandronum.exe in that case.

Make sure you downloaded the archive and that you extracted the contents of the .zip into your MM8BDM folder. If it asks to replace any files, then go along with it.

Try refreshing it. If that doesn't work, just reclose it and reopen it.

I realize I left a disclaimer in the current iteration of the guide (currently in the OP) but it wouldn't hurt to edit the reference to MM8BDM-v4c to MM8BDM-v5a (assuming a v5b update isn't going to come out in short order) now that it's out.
