Am I The Only One That Uses Only Doom Connector For Dooming Online?

[W1D3A55]

Am I really? For those that don't know, Doom Connector is really just like Doomseeker and IDE, except setting up/joining servers isn't a hassle (I've always had that issue with those 2 programs). It also supports many popular ports like Skulltag/Zandromum, Zdoom, GZdoom, and many others.

Anyways, Am I seriously the only one that uses this program? Because it feels like I can't be the only one with issues joining using those other programs.

[Watermelon]

Yes
Pretty much

DC is brilliant and I wish it was used more (not sure if it's updated for zandro yet) it's also good for making servers outside of the master server (I think?). But when hardly anyone uses it it seems a bit redundant.

You can use it for Zandronum, but oddly you have to rename zandronum as skulltag and setup the skulltag settings in order to make it work.

If DC supports configurations just modify the Skulltag config for Zandronum.

[Catastrophe]

yes...

[Medicris]

Yeah, pretty much. Internal drama pretty much killed it as far as I've heard.

Not that I know if it's true or not.

I love it has a place for seeking partners for ZSNES games, and yeah, also Zdoom. But, I idled there a bit, tried to make rooms, but only seen single people seeming only seeking games with previously appointmened friends.
Well, it's pretty dead, but with some effort it'd could have a second youth?

[Ivan]

Why bother with it? Just use IDE, it does it all.

You're right. If I recall it has died a come back several times.

[Marcaek]

I wasn't around for orig DC, but Skulltag Online and the first incarnation of Player Connector were awesome. Unfortunately IDE and Doomseeker do almost everything it does so nobody bothers with it anymore.

[HeX9109]

Doom Connector a dead horse of the past that people insist they continue beating.

Really though, IRC built into Launchers just works so much better these days. Doom Connector was so convoluted with so much crap going on it turned me off and wondered how anyone could stand it.

plus it doesn't support odamex

As I mentioned, ZSNES.
Also, Legacy which has some cool wads and options exclusive for it (playing with gravity is frankly more fun then in Zdoom-based source ports, setting time for respawning items, cool effects, split screen for poor people :D), and Zdoom (some bleeding-edge mods, VOXELS!!!!111!!!). So nope, I can see cool possibilities for that.

Well, since it can hide to tray and only uses 14MB RAM, I guess I'll idle there a bit and see if anything interesting will happen.

[StrikerMan780]

I liked Doom/Player connector for the fact that it was a great launcher for multiple games/ports. The buddy and lobby systems were nice as well.

[Spottswoode]

I still use Doom connector for (g)zdoom servers. The lobby itself is pretty much dead as the 70s. I will make some more use of it in the future (maybe?) if I ever finish my project.

Also, I do not use DC because it simply does not work.

The OP doesn't have every word capitalized. Only the thread title is that way, which is how we were taught in school to do titles.

[Ænima]

Wario and DevilHunter are the only players that I know of who still use DoomConnector.

[DevilHunter]

I used to, and still do. But due to the lack of net and other RL stuff, I havn't been able to get on as much. I have it on my external drive, but I can't play any games, as when I try to, the whole pc (library pc's) locks up or something.. But anyhow, Doom Connector is pretty neat, sure it needs a huge overhall, but Zorcher was working on DC4 but.. lost steam due to people not looking into Doom Connector.

If anything, if i was a programmer, or understand how to make dlls for the ports like Odamex, I would do it.
