Talk:Doom95

Bugs
Note how it says that only LAN multiplayer is possible, and Internet multiplayer is impossible? Who's to say that a lobby program or some sort of packet interceptor can't bounce messages from a client over the internet to a remote client? I think it could be done with a little dirty work, I'd like to work on this, and any progress I make I will report back here.

Someone double-check me, please, before this goes in the article: Doom95 cannot play back demos outside its local directory, even from the command line. Ryan W 02:50, 1 April 2008 (UTC)


 * It can, but (like in Doom) the lump has to be loaded through -file:




 * That leaves the launcher out of it (unless one bothers to put the demo lump in a WAD file first).


 * I had added notes on Doom being able to read separate lumps in lump and in command line arguments. You did well in checking Doom95, though, since they could have tweaked things. Who is like God? 04:57, 1 April 2008 (UTC)


 * Wow, actually I didn't even know that. (Shows how often I use the original executable nowadays.)  I would have guessed that the default DOS method of identifying files was the path of least resistance for both id and port programmers.  Thank you!    Ryan W 21:57, 1 April 2008 (UTC)
