Zandronum

Played some Doom LAN hosted by myself with my classmates. It's just a test run of my technical skills of running a game server. The actual LAN will be played with 8 people in Thursday, Friday, and Monday (im in GMT+8)

Zandro was easy to set up on all of the PCs. I bought Doom full price on a blank account that I have, set up family sharing to their steam accs, download doom, install Zandro, get the mod wads done, boom

This was my first LAN ever, it was just a test run between 4 of us(i only have a 4 port router, 4 others have to connect thru dreadful WiFi-N).I'll add more as soon as the game goes on Thursday. The test run ended up in 3 hours of All-out-war 2, lol.

Anyone have more experience in Zandronum LANs? What other mods should I play?

At the very least, you could throw in enhanced versions of the music, such as DoomMetalVol4.wad

Also, for a new gameplay experience, throw in brutalv20.pk3 as well (preferably before DoomMetalVol4.wad in your commandline).

Both of those are at http://www.[bad site]/wads, so, if your classmates are connecting with Doomseeker, then Doomseeker will auto-download those files for them, because [bad site] is one of the mirrors in Doomseeker' wadseeker service.

Smooth Doom, Samsara, Stronghold, Demonsteele, Shotgun Frenzy, Project MSX, Shotguns to name a few...

Zdoomwars and classic GvH.
Some coop/survival with samsara mod and random mappack will be cool too.

You could download skulltag_data and do some invasion, i always wanted to try that with 8 people.
