Different Versions of Zandronum
« on: July 24, 2015, 04:34:30 AM »
Hello mm8bdm community.  

If anyone can offer some advice on this I'd be highly appreciated.

Some servers run different versions of zandronum, is there a way in doomseeker to have it run a different version based on whatthe chosen server is using or will I always have to go into configure and choose a new directory when the server I want is using a different version than my currently selected one?

As far as I know there is no simple way to swap between Zandronum versions unless you change your engine directory manually.
I understand that can be a bit of a chore, but I feel like that's the only solution. Sorry.

Most Zandronum servers should be using 2.1.2 anyway: http://zandronum.com/downloads/zandronum2.1.2-win32-base.zip
If you haven't updated or are unsure how to update, simply copy the contents of this zip over the existing folder containing your MM8BDM stuff.
If you wish to keep both versions, extract them into a separate folder and just point your Doomseeker to it whenever you encounter a server with Zandronum 2.1.2 and then back to 2.x when you swap to an older server.

Hope that helps.
