I tried this in wineskin a while back, but now I just load it through doomseeker.  Is there any advantage to using this method?

Is there a way to set up a server in doomseeker and have the server tell clients to fetch skins from somewhere, like best-ever, a personal website, even a NAS?  I'd like to just point at a site so wadseeker will know which assets to fetch.

MM8BDM Discussion / multiplayer skins - how do they work?

I've been seeing lots of little megamen in multiplayer and I think they are using skins that I don't have.  How do I know which ones to download to the skins folder?  Is there an option in doomseeker for it to do that for me?

It appears there is a mac version of zandronum.  The mac version of doomseeker works properly with it.  I cannot get the same control over games as I can with the launcher, and launching single player is a bit awkward, but it does work now.  I was making things needlessly complex.

Hi Jumbo!  I'm not offended.  Things just ended so abruptly I thought I pissed everyone off.  I'm still good for a teamup if you want later on.  Right now, I'm working on learning how the launcher works.

Edit:  Is there a reason that server uses the old zandronum?

Sorry for poor form.  I'll edit if need be from now on.

I did get into a round with others, but they eventually left, with the last one left saying I was a bit too rough.  I apologized and offered to team up with him against some other players on another server.  He left.  I hope that didn't offend him.

Now when I connect, 1.3 is used.  I'm seeing "Protected lump authentication failed."  I was seeing WAD and password errors before.  Normally I would think this is just a game that doesn't like wine, but it ran fine in single player, LAN, and a few online rounds.

Edit: forgot doomseeker screenshot

edit:  I think I found the problem.  If I run doomseeker within my wrapper and join multiplayer from there instead of the launcher, I can get in.  The only exception so far seems to be servers running zandronum 1.2, which I can still join if I set doomseeker to use the old zandronum.

So it looks like I need to fix my wrapper.  Does anyone have the command line args for the launcher or zandronum?  If I can get those, I can use the native doomseeker rather than bundle everything together.  Specifically, I need to know if there is a way to tell it to look outside it's own folder for game files downloaded by doomseeker and how to pass the IP and port of the server to zandronum.

Everybody is using zandronum 1.2.  I'm going to downgrade and see if I can get in.

edit: versions seem to fluctuate.

Eastern.  Ohio player here.  I usually play at night though, figuring there would be a world wide audience.  I'm up early today, so I'll try after my lunch.

Yes, and tonight me and my boyfriend were able to play a few rounds with a server I found that way.  I just found out I needed to update zandronum, so now I should be able to connect to all those other games that shot me down before.

In general, I only see one or two active servers up.

I'm new to MM8BDM.  I got it running on my mac, server and all, under wineskin, and I have been able to get games running fine on LAN and WAN.  But I don't see many others playing.  Am I late to the party?  Do enough people still play for netplay to matter?
