[WIP] ZandroNet

[FLYBAT]

If it is for players that NEVER TOUCHED DOOM BEFORE, then I think you should write "Game" instead of "IWAD" and "Mods" instead of "PWADS".

In that case, add a "use newbie descriptions" checkbox to the options so that those of us who know what they're doing aren't being constantly being hit with the no-idea-what-you're-doing stick.

Also, would it be possible to make the featured content system work on some sort of standard?

Looks Good , Where The Flags Location ?

I like the Linux feel to this program. Can't wait until a stable finished version is released. *tips hat*

Linux feel? WTF are you talking about? It looks like he used the Metro GUI style templates. And yes, I can't wait for this to be stabilized. Would it be possible for MM8BDM to get its own fork? The game needs a better launcher than the AutoHotkey hackjob it's currently saddled with. (They're going to be moving to Zandronum at some point anyway.)

So if I'm correct then there is currently no doomseeker replacement yet and I'm not missing any action. Right? And why is doomseeker covered up in all the posts?

Doomseeker is fully Zandronum compatible, so there is no need for a replacement. ZandroNet is a separate project by TIHan meant as alternative for Doomseeker.

It looks like one of themes from Fedora back in the day. Just sayin'. :3

I do like the clean, simple, but stylish look of the interface. Mind if I make a request for being able to use it to launch singleplayer games as well? (Like an all-in-one launcher.)

If it is for players that NEVER TOUCHED DOOM BEFORE, then I think you should write "Game" instead of "IWAD" and "Mods" instead of "PWADS".

Why not just add it in brackets next to the option title/descriptor?

Ie:

IWADs (Games):

PWADs (Mods):

Just FYI, as far as I know, TIHan's been absent recently.

Please don't feature multiple wad downloading at the same time. It slows down download speed

[ZzZombo]

Yeah, but I think better make it configurable as DS did.

And multithreaded download can be very handy.

Please don't feature multiple wad downloading at the same time. It slows down download speed

For most people it speeds things up, and I honestly can't think of why there would be an exception to the rule. Remember to look at the combined download speed, in theory multiple streams should result in a number closer to your ISP's promised speed.

[infurnus]

For slower (DSL?) connections you could have a "max simultaneous downloads" setting, like how most "download manager" software do.

[Blzut3]

For slower (DSL?) connections

Multiple download should still reach the max transfer speed even on slow connections. In fact, back when I had a 56k connection I recall using download managers to split the download into multiple connections in order to saturate the connection more often.

[ZzZombo]

You forget about instable connections there downloads can stuck and won't receive any data forever. Multiple downloads at one time increase the chance of that.

[Dancso]

Looks pretty clean, I like it.

In regard to helping new players (and old ones aswell), this might be of interest as a feature suggestion:

Kind of like a "looking for group" system in MMOs.

Downloading multiple files would be a godsend for those times when you download off different servers. (Which isn't that infrequent!)
