Summary

0004107: Add support for Zandronum's SQF2_GAMEMODE_NAME / SQF2_GAMEMODE_SHORTNAME

Description

Zandronum recently gained the ability to present the Name and ShortName fields for the current game mode as defined in GAMEMODE to launchers.
It would be nice to see this used in the "Game Type" column in Doomseeker.

Additional Information

'https://hg.osdn.net/view/zandronum/zandronum-stable/rev/42c405796de6 [^]'
'https://wiki.zandronum.com/w/index.php?title=Launcher_protocol&type=revision&diff=1662&oldid=1248 [^]'

Here's a build of the commit this was added:'https://drinkybird.net/files/doom/zandronum_3.2-alpha-r230219-2017_win32.7z [^]'

Additionally I have backported it to the 3.1 binary I run on Blue Firestick. The server "<Blue Firestick> ~~ Jumpmaze beta server" should report a game mode name "Jumpmaze" and short name "JM".

Notes
(0022787) Zalewa (developer) 2023-02-28 10:46	Adding features like this without first resolving 0004064 will only deepen the problem described by 0004064.

(0022788) DrinkyBird (reporter) 2023-02-28 13:25	I started working on that after this got pushed, actually. Most of it has been refactoring so far though; I'm only now getting to actually working on the protocol changes...

(0024636) Zalewa (developer) 2025-11-03 23:50 edited on: 2025-11-03 23:51	Zandronum plugin version 67 on the beta auto-update channel should have this implemented. I went with SQF2_GAMEMODE_NAME alone. Didn't think of any use for SQF2_GAMEMODE_SHORTNAME for the time being. The custom game modes should also appear in the server filter game mode combobox.
