Hey, guys.
Little backgroud:
I have a Raspberry Pi 4 with 4 gigs of ram and running Raspbian Buster.
I currently play Doom with various different mods.
My favorite mod to play is Pandemonium. I like how the monsters are random.
I think it would be a lot better if I could play it multiplayer. Invasion coop gameplay.
I used to do this on a desktop PC using Zandronum and Doomseeker.
The problem I am facing now is that although it's possible to compile Zandronum on the RPi, I can not get the latest version to work (so none of the games I see on the master server work). Can't get the sound to work either.
You can play multiplayer on GZDoom (through the command line), but it's not like Zandronum (joining a game in progress... client/server), you have join the game before starting (peer to peer? not sure what it's called).
I don't know anyone locally/personally that owns a Raspberry Pi and wants to play multiplayer doom on it, and I can't find any forums or groups that are interested in doing something like this.
Here's my questions:
Has anyone here ever successfully used Doomseeker and Zandronum on a Raspberry Pi?
Is there any one else who owns a Raspberry Pi, has Gzdoom 3.6 (the highest ARMHF version of gzdoom) and is interested in playing multiplayer doom? Or is there a group on FB, Reddit, whatever that does stuff like this (schedules mutlplayer matches on weekends or something)?
Is there any other Doom source port that can play all the cool mods, but also have multplayer I could use?
I'm open to suggestions. I'll probably get the suggestion to "play zandronum on a regular PC," and I may do that again if I give this up.
The thing is, I got this all set up in the garage so I can BBQ, drink beer, and play Doom (and other videogames). It's looks cool, small, and easy to move around. The PC won't do so well in the garage.
I appreciate any help.
Thanks, guys!
