I believe that, either you have an older version, or people just aren't on servers very much.

Sorry, and older version of SKULLTAG.
It's impossible to have an earlier version of MM8BDM at the moment. For us, anyway.
What does it say when you try to join a server, if you can't connect?

If you run the skulltag.exe on it's own, it has the version number under the welcome message. The current version is 98c.

when i click the game, a pop up window comes up asking server name and it has localhost written on it. after i get in i searches and searches, repeats an ip adress, i put other IPs that i found on this sites and does the same thing, but if i press ESC, it takes me to the menu and i get to pick the robot tournament or multiplayer "browser something" since "idese?" kicks me out of the game. and if i click "browser something" i MIGHT find a game with a handful of people.

Download this (http://www.skulltag.com/download/).

Stick megagame.wad and 8BMMDM.pk3 into your new Skulltag dictionary. Open up Doomseeker and have fun.

If you have any problems with Doomseeker. Read what the error tells you. It helps, a lot. Or check this tutorial (http://cutstuff.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=24&t=728) if you're really stuck.

Open the MM8BDM Launcher. Paste IP into it. Click connect.

So put a copy of skulltag.exe in that folder.
