I thought we could make a launcher for zdoom based off of the ZDaemon source, but not include the zdaemon.exe just the launcher and server exe's. Sound good?

Sounds interesting....but my understanding is that the Zdaemon server exe's contain the full game code and run the game entirely on the server. So for zdoom, unless you re-coded it to be a client-server model like zdaemon, the server exe would essentially be zdoom.exe.

I don't think that's what you have in mind?

(Didn't mean to butt in ahead of Bio Hazard, let's see what he thinks).

well, its a start... :\

I need to totally re-write it from scratch though to get any farther.

if anyone knows how to suppress the command window from popping up, let me know.

EDIT: New version below

Heres version 2, it has an IWAD selection thingy!

can someone get me a list of IWADS that ZDoom supports? so far it looks for: "Doom.wad" "Doom2.wad" "Heretic.wad" "Hexen.wad" "HexDD.wad" "Strife.wad" and "Chex.wad"

EDIT: New version below

I think this is where it is in the source...

anyone have any bug reports? did i actually write a stable program??

Here it is. ZDL in all its glory. I present to you, ZDL 0.9!

Seriously, I want feedback. I'm building this for you guys...

If you guys like it, my next plan is to make it support a config file for default options and languages

I'm definitely going to try it out soon.
You may have already done this, but please allow anything passed to it on the command line to show up as selected files, options, etc. to be passed to ZDoom.
