offline mode broken/zandronum icon does nothing (linux)

#1

Post by Bean_Shooter » Tue Jul 11, 2017 1:00 am

I know someone here can help me, not all heros wear capes!
where to start though?
ive never been able to launch a game using the zandronum icon. instead what ive been doing for months is launching doomseeker/create game, then selecting wads and hitting "play offline" with broadcasting turned off.
ive played the fairly recent Mutiny megawad coupled with brutaldoom.wad and doommetalvol4.wad for over a month this way and before that i played brutaldoom for a couple of months with no problems.
over a month ago now this method stopped working for me. no error messages no window of any sort. but zandronum-server shows up in my task manager when i hit
"play offline"
what can i do?? has anyone else had this problem? ive tried multiple search queries on the forum and got nothing, my apologies if this has been covered already.
FYI: im running lubuntu linux which is just a lite version of ubuntu

Try running Doomseeker from your terminal. It should give you all the logging that could be useful in determining the cause of the problem.

I FIXED IT!
for some reason the config GUI is broken and the settings werent writing to the zandronum.ini so i had to manually type the settings into the ini and save. now it works like it did before! =D
obviously i still have the unresolved issue of a broken config menu but if i can make it work with some duct tape and wd-40 then fine

What distro? What version? When you go to "Help | About Qt", what's the Qt version?
