I feel like wads should have some field for an url to their official page

[cammera]

Hi there, I played zandro a lot years ago (I'll never forget that one invasion map with a king atreides boss and sparta remix as the bgm lmao) and coming back wads could really, really use an extra metadata field that's shown by server browsers.

The reason for this is jumping into this it's a maze. Complex doom, megaman 8 bit, new invasion modes, map wads having unscrutable name as a rule, you want to join a server and check the wads and good luck knowing what this isn't if you're not immersed in the community already. If I could pop up the server info and have links for the wads that I can check to see what interests me or not it'd be a way better experience.

It doesn't fix the issue backwards and it's a bit more metadata to send, but I think it'd be worth it. Doom is one of the easier modded games to pick up and play in multiplayer (Everything downloads itself for you and there's a bunch of mirrors) but the success on that part has led to issues in other areas. I'd go as far as to say we'd be way better off if wads just had the idarchive txt embedded in them as well as the url.

Would be nice but I'm not exactly sure how it would be implemented, Doomseeker would probably need an update.


Until then, see if this list helps to at least categorize some of the common mods:

(It also includes hyperlinks to most of the appropriate project pages so you can check things out and download right there.)

And welcome back to Zandronum!

Me, and some of the Zandronum community members did a Wiki page about the multiple mods they're being used right now. It's being updated constantly, so if you need to search for mods, look up here!
