Connect/Join Passwords do not work?

#1

Post by ump » Thu Aug 22, 2019 10:29 pm

i am trying to set up a simple+small server for my friends to play on.
but when i set a join password, and they try to connect, it loads them into the console with "Incorrect Password".
on my end, the server spits out:

Incorrect password.
[IP] disconnected. Ignoring IP for 10 seconds.

i have triple-checked to make sure that they are entering the correct password into the Doomseeker prompt (it's a very simple four letter password), but they are still being rejected.
is there something i am missing, or is this a bug?

similarly, if i set a join password and they try to move from spectating to players, it refuses to let them join. where would one enter the join password?

There's your issue: Zandronum requires that passwords be greater than four characters in length.
