Command line connect to server with password

[puisor]

Hi all,

Sorry for the noob question, but I've set up a server with sv_joinpassword and sv_password configuration options and don't seem to be able to connect to it using zandronum.exe from the command line. Whenever I try I get an incorrect password message.

This is the command line I'm using:

Code: Select all

zandronum.exe -iwad DOOM2.WAD -connect myserver:10666 +@sv_password "letmein" +@sv_joinpassword "letmein"

Does anyone know what the correct command line should be? I want to be able to connect to my server using a batch file rather than using Doomseeker every time. I can connect fine using Doomseeker so I am guessing that it passes the options to zandronum.exe. I checked here but it doesn't seem to cover connecting to servers, and this guide talks about connecting without a game browser, but doesn't mention passwords.

Thanks in advance,
puișor

a client would be using cl_password and cl_joinpassword instead

EDIT: Worked out the syntax.

Many thanks for your help, WaTaKiD. Correct syntax is as follows:

Code: Select all

zandronum.exe -iwad DOOM2.WAD -connect myserver:10666 +cl_password "letmein" +cl_joinpassword "letmein"

Protip: you can right-click a server in Doomseeker and select Show join command line, and it'll display the full command line it uses to connect for a server instead of launching the game

Thanks Sean. I wish I'd known that before, and I wouldn't have had to start the thread!
