Summary0003016: GAMEINFO auto-loaded PWADs load twice if joining through Doomseeker or Doom Explorer
DescriptionIf a PWAD contains a GAMEINFO lump, and requests other wads get loaded with it, they will get loaded twice if someone joins through Doomseeker or Doom Explorer.
Steps To ReproduceGet skulltag_data_fixed.pk3:'http://www.wad-archive.com/wad/048122af1c22cb7b146ad76a20bd5dca [^]'

Put it in the same folder as Zandronum.exe

Then, get the attached GAMEINFO.PK3, stick it in there too.

Launch a server with zandronum.exe -host -file GAMEINFO.PK3

It'll automatically pull in skulltag_data_fixed.pk3.

Now, join the server with Doom Explorer or Doomseeker. The WAD will be loaded twice, and the game will crash.
Attached Files? file icon GAMEINFO.PK3 [^] (282 bytes) 2017-02-17 02:06

I suggest making Zandronum not pull WADs/PK3s from the LOAD line of GAMEINFO if said WAD/PK3 was already loaded via the command line.

I can easily flag the files loaded by GAMEINFO as automatically loaded, so that they won't appear on the list of pwads reported to the launcher. Unfortunately, this way the launcher doesn't know that the client needs the wad to join.

This sounds like something GZDoom should do. Does the latest GZDoom already do this by any chance? Nevertheless, won't this change the order in which the files are loaded?

EDIT: Just realized it wouldn't change the load order, because Zandronum already sends the loaded wads to the master server in the same order the server does. (They always load just before the WAD with the GAMEINFO lump.)

Also, GZDoom has this issue as well, just tested it. It will double-load files.

I thought a bit more about this and think the best would be to simply have the client (in the sense of a binary started with "-connect") not load the wads specified in GAMEINFO. The server already added those in the correct order to the list of files advertised to the launcher, so the launcher will add all necessary files to the command that starts the client.

Should be fixed now using the approach from 0003016:0016926.
