First off, I just joined the forum and I'm happy to be here. Hope I can contribute a little in the future as well. For now, I have a string of questions though and I hope you can help me!!
I'm trying to launch a Zandronum server so I can play with my friends abroad. Testing it with my desktop and laptop PCs in my house. I am running into a plethora of issues.
- When I make a server on my desktop PC, it won't show up in the server list on either of my PCs. When I make a server on my laptop PC, it shows up in the server list on my desktop PC, but not the laptop. How do I make it so that the server gets found online by everybody?
- When I try to join a server that has a "connect" password on the same machine where I've created it, DOOM opens into the console, where I'm told "wrong password". It never prompts me for one, though!! Where do I put in the password to enter my own server?
- When clicking "Join Server", Zandronum asks me where my IWADs are. When I tell it, it asks me again. Endless loop. I have to manually put the path into the .ini to proceed. Is this a known issue?
LAN servers work. But obviously, that doesn't help me when my friends aren't here.
Port 10666 is open in my router (the automatic forwarding option in Doom Seeker set it up properly).
I'm really at the end of my wits. All I want is to set up a server and play with friends. I've spent hours trying different configurations and options. I don't know what I'm doing wrong. Any ideas?
Thanks!
Matthias.
