I can't join my own MM8BDM server using Doomseeker
« on: April 29, 2014, 09:32:11 AM »
Hello. I've some trouble to connect to my own MM8BDM server using Doomseeker.
Is the port ALWAYS 10666 or we can change it?
Can we add mods on it?

You can change the port to something else if 10666 is being used for god knows what.
You can add custom PWADS.

A question, though; have you forwarded your port? If you don't know how to make it work after reading countless tutorials and if your router cannot be forwarded in any way, I suggest using Doomseeker IRC to create one via Best Ever.

Another question: How does that even work? You're supposed to be able to join your own server by default because you're on the local machine.

You know, using best-ever to host a server isn't really that hard. All the instructions are there on the main page and they've got lots of wads to choose from. It stays up forever, too (until they do another server kill or perform an update).
