Problem creating server

#1

Post by abstract_daddy » Wed Feb 19, 2020 1:41 am

So I've been having some trouble making a server in Zandronum.

After configuring the server I select "Start server" and I'm greeted with a screen that says "To play, please point us to your doom." I select the folder where I have Doom2.wad, the window blinks, then returns.

I have Doom2.wad and I have no issue connecting to other servers. I've tried putting doom2.wad in a folder all on its own and I've tried using my wad folder for ZDaemon, but every time the window returns.

Anyone have any ideas?

I am running v.3.0. Revision: 1496802976

I actually managed to figure the problem out. For some reason I have to run it as admin then it recognizes the wad file path.

I've run into an entirely new problem now where I can set up the server but it doesn't appear on the server list. It recognizes that I'm using Doom 2 or whatever wad I choose and I can join it myself but it'll only appear as a LAN game. I've tried disabling LAN but then it just doesn't appear at all.

Any ideas?
