It works.. But sometimes it don't even detect my LAN server unless I restart Doomseeker. Dunno why this is but eh.. I just usually add my serer to Custom Servers and join that way.

In case of Zandronum's LAN broadcasts, game servers are the ones that send the broadcasts to the network. Doomseeker needs to become the listener. In a way, game servers become clients and Doomseeker becomes a server. Now, only one program can be listening on given port at a time, and if you launch Doomseeker more than once, the subsequent instances will fail to bind the listener port and will not display the broadcasted servers.

This is a bit strange, as I explicitly stated in the code that the port can be shared between programs. Perhaps it doesn't work 100% right. I guess I'll have to investigate this a bit more and perhaps make the program write an appropriate log entry when it fails to bind.

Not only that.. but I noticed if you have Broadcast to LAN selected, and Click on Start Server, the Server will not be broadcasting to LAN. Not sure if that should be on a separate ticket since this is somewhat related.

I usually just go into the server settings and turn Visible to Network on, thats when Doomseeker will see it.. sometimes.

Works correctly for me.

Bah.. well I knew something was a miss. Had sv_broadcast false in my server config.

Anyhow.. i guess the only thing left to do is what you said up thar...

- Zandronum: LAN broadcasts are now captured in all running
instances of the program (on Windows, at least).
- Zandronum: Keep retrying to bind LAN broadcasts listening
socket until it succeeds.

Updated Zandronum plugin is now available on beta update channel. Please test.
