Help & Editing / Error when running Zandorum 3.0?

« on: May 15, 2017, 02:58:07 AM »

Hello,

I've been setting up MM8bdm again and I've been having a lot of trouble connecting to servers. Mm8bdm and Ide are in working order, but when I try to connect to a server, zandronum gets the following error after V_init: allocate screen

"Execution could not continue. W_GetNumForName: PLAYPAL not found!"

Supposedly this is a problem with finding the Iwad, but I already have my mm8bdm, zandronum, and ide folders all linked up as Iwad/Pwad search paths, so I'm lost on how it couldn't find the proper Iwad. Is there an Iwad needed besides megagame.wad?

Thanks!

Help & Editing / Problems with connecting

Of course I still exist what are you talking about
I tried to connect to a prop hunt server today and got the following error:

Script error, "mm8bdm-v4c.pk3:actors/player/megaman.txt" line 19:
"player.maxskinsizefactor" is an unknown actor property

If any of you happen to know how to fix this, I've be very thankful.

MM8BDM Discussion / What do you guys think of "scheduling" servers?

« on: December 13, 2014, 04:13:56 AM »

So I noticed how many people the 3v3 TLMS tourney server has been attracting recently, and I started thinking about all the underplayed (read, never played) gamemodes we have. Since tourneys usually run on schedules, I figured, hey, why not apply this to some of these other gamemodes? I feel one of the biggest reasons certain gamemodes aren't played is how difficult even starting a server can be. Your only options are, A: Sit around and wait for someone to actually join your server. This can take literal hours, or B: Solicit people to join from live servers which, 95% of the time, just annoys the people in the server.

So what I propose is this: Every Friday and weekend, we'll have a scheduled time for people to meet at a certain server. We'd only need 4-6 people to actually start the server, and it's definitely better than waiting around or soliciting. For example, on one weekend, we could have
 Friday: Roboenza, 6:00 PM Est
 Saturday: Mafia, 3:00 PM Est
 Sunday: LMS games, 3:00 PM Est
On another,
 Friday: Vanilla CTF, 7:00 PM Est
 Saturday: YD Classes TLMS, 4:00 PM Est
 Sunday: Vanilla Deathmatch, 1:00 PM Est
We could have a thread dedicated to scheduling servers, where people could discuss what servers they want scheduled. There would be rules of course, like not having a gamemode get scheduled multiple times in a row (since the last thing anyone wants is for one gamemode to start getting scheduled repeatedly, setting us back to square one).

The most important thing to remember is that this shouldn't be expected to make 20 person servers every night. The goal of server scheduling is to make frankensteining starting up a server easier so that more gamemodes will have a chance to be played.

What do you think?

Help & Editing / Can't get zandorum 1.3 to work?

« on: October 15, 2014, 04:13:00 AM »

I tried downloading Zandorum 1.3 (from two seperate topics, one made earlier one made sooner) from the official zandorum site and neither of them work. I connect to the servers fine at first but then once I reach the blue screen, it says "Failed to connect. Your version is different. This server is using 1.3".
I checked which version Ide is going to and it seems go to the proper folder.
Any help?

DOOD AND WARIOS TAUNT THING

http://www.microbiologytext.com/docs/Cl ... untsV1.pk3

Instructions for adding:
1. download the file
2. go to the folder Zandorum.exe is in
3. Make a folder called "skins". No caps
4. Place the taunts into the skins folder. Make sure that the name of the file is Classes-TauntsV1.pk3 exactly

for those of you wondering why the download link is a microbiology site, my dad owns some webspace already so we decided to just use it anyway instead of those idiotic download sites

Help & Editing / Don't know how to set up a Best. Ever. account

« on: June 09, 2013, 03:45:38 AM »

Ok, so I read the site, and everything makes sense except for one thing.
The directions say to type a /msg bestbot like thing, but not where to type it. Does anyone know where it's supposed to be typed?

Help & Editing / Doomseeker's only showing doom servers?

« on: May 22, 2013, 03:13:29 AM »

I've been gone for a little while, and when I come back, doomseeker won't display any servers but doom servers. I really don't have any idea whats going on. Was there a master server address change again?

Skins & Bots etc / Taunts for skins pack

« on: September 11, 2012, 02:43:41 AM »

So I've been thinking.

The sinistar skin comes with taunts, but what if all skins had them?
If I had all the skins that someone wanted to add a taunt to, I would be able to do it.

So, if you want your skin to have a taunt, post a download and the name of the skin below.
You may specify a taunt only if you made the skin.
