[Anonymous]

hi doomthroughdoom

[Anonymous]

the port said the server was in port 10666, but i made the server, checked Doomseeker, and didn't find it, even after forwarding the port "10666"

are there specific ports I need to forward and specific tcp/udp scr/dnt(?) stuff I need to use?

[RainsLikeSnow]

Will this appear on DoomSeeker?

[Duora Super Gyro]

OK. does this work online to, or just offline. and if it doesent work online, how do i make an online server

[Mr. Sean Nelson]

Thank you so much for this, I couldn't have hosted a server without it!  

[Duora Super Gyro]

What if I wanted to host a game through the Local Area Network method? Because I don't know if Skulltag would let me do Matches over LAN. If it can do LAN then how do I do it, because I am thinking about challenging my school yard buddies to a few sparring matches.

LAN hosting is even easier, though it takes a few different steps in its approach.
I should know, I used to host lunchtime matches during ye old SGC days.

1) Connect to the LAN network.
2) Host a server using the launcher like normal.
3) When the server settings window appears, type "ip" in the console bar.
4) An IP adress should appear in the server's log. Copy this.
5) Distribute the IP to your friends, and make sure they have the same WADs loaded up.
6) Connect, and it should work!

I've tried this with both wireless LAN networks (computer-to-computer) and "LAN with benefits" (locked/restricted school networks) and it works just fine. The one downside is that you have to manually load your WADs and you have to load them in the right order or you can't connect; since it's on a LAN network and not on the internet you can't be lazy and rely on Doomseeker to do all the work for you.

Hope this helps.

I have created a password server, how my friends can connect? (where to put the password?)

[Orange juice :l]

In the "Multiplayer" menu, there are two password slots. One is to connect to the server (I think it's named Server Password), and the other is to join the game. Have them type the password into the Server password option.

i forwarded my ports. but nothing is happening, i got on my computer today to finish the game and i find that all my progress has been erased. i'm fine with this as long as i can host my server.

but i cant, its not showing up on the server list even though the ports are fowarded. HALP!
