how do i join a map with custom wads?
« on: December 11, 2011, 10:47:18 PM »
using the mm8bdm internal server search, i found a server, hit get game info, and saw the pwads/iwads that i needed. i got them, put them into the mm8bdm launcher extra command parameters, but when i go back to join the game, i get the message saying " i need the exact same wads as the server". i checked which ones i had, and theyre exactly the ones in the game, the same versions they have and everything. so i was wondering what i did wrong :3

The order in which you load the wads can matter at times as well. Try adding them in different orders.

Or you could just get Doomseeker, which handles all of that for you.

Yeah, Doomseeker is alot better than the Internal browser. It also allows you to view all the other things about the server:
Complete Player list, IP, Game mode, All Wads, Frags, Who is a spectator, ETC.
