OSX Install Tutorial

#1

Post by Pwaa » Mon Jul 02, 2012 11:00 pm

Hello, can someone show me/give me a link to a OSX Zandronum install tutorial? (I'm running 10.6.8)
When I launch Zandronum.app it quits after a second, not creating a app support folder or anything. Apparently a skulltag pkg needs to be put somewhere...?

It's my first time trying out multiplayer doom stuff so I'm not familiar with skulltag, I've only been using Prboom/prboom+ for dooming.

I've looked around but no tutorial seems to be anywhere, nor is a readme provided on the .dmg.

Thanks!

I had this problem as well, but Doomseeker remedies it for the most part. In addition to browsing multiplayer servers, you can start your own private server to simulate singleplayer, and choose your add-on wads from there.

Unfortunately, I still don't have an app support folder (and thus, no skins folder for multiplayer).

As for Skulltag.pk3, I had to open my Skulltag app's contents and pull it out from there. I haven't downloaded the latest version of Zandronum yet, so idk if it's provided (probably not).

So does doomseeker bypasses the need for the .pk3, or do I still need it?

Because when I query the servers nothing comes up. This is probably my firewall, but there are no port-related settings for doomseeker.

(this is the correct program, right? http://doomseeker.drdteam.org/download.php)

Edit: There is no option for "Zandronum" under "engines." Is there a custom build of doomseeker for zandronum or something?
Editedit: So I made a file for Zandronum under app support and put doom2.wad in — it started!
