i have the version 2.0 of WOC... i might be able to edit some things in it like item drops, max skill level but other than that.. its mostly headscratching from there.

This might or might be not the best place to ask this kind of question, but since It's related to this mod, I'll give it a shot. If a moderator considers that this question doesn't belong here, my apologies and feel free to remove this post.
The question is, how can I play this mod with friends? I want to play the Heretic campaign with Wrath of Cronos 2 with some friends, but I'm curious, how can I do something like that? I've seen videos of pleople playing in servers on custom maps with WoC and I'm clueless.

Thanks in advance.

Last time I try, all versions of WoC I can found on Internet cannot be run at latest GZDooM, always Fatal Error, sadly.

Unless the author even coming here again(his last post was 2 years ago), or considering this mod is dead. :\

(Maybe ZDooM32 2.8.2 can run but I don't know)

Thanks for replying Valherran. By Zandronum version you mean that I just have to play it with Zandronum or there is an specific version to play multiplayer with Zandronum?

I use GZDoom 2.2 for this mod and it works perfectly fine, if that helps. And yeah, let's hope he comes back any time, it's a real shame that he stopped posting.

I got it running using download links somewhere in this thread and GZDoom 3.2.0. Had to follow a specific load order, though. The load order in my shortcut is as follows:

wrathofcronosnothexenpatch.pk3 wrathofcronosr2.pk3 wrathofcronosdoompatch2.pk3 wrathofcronosdoomrandom2.pk3 wrathofcronosr2_extramonsv10a.pk3

If I took any of those .pk3s out or changed the order, the mod would fail to load for some reason. Didn't seem to have a problem adding in more after that, like level and music packs.

I only the load the main pk3 with Hexen IWAD as other patch pk3s should not needed unless you want play at Heretic/DooM/Strife, but still, fatal error out, but if this works then whatever, since it still not normal as I see your load order loads not-Hexen patch, main file, DooM patch, Random monsters for DooM then Extra monsters patch.

Oh yeah, I was playing it with Doom instead of Hexen. <.<

Since he hasnt posted in 2 years, its possible someone could take up his mantle and try to make it compatible with 3.2 for heretic and hexen. Im not sure how to do this myself, im just now getting my feet wet learning how to use slade 3. I did however try to get WOC to run with Brutal Heretic's graphics, it kind of worked however you kept getting some odd messages on the top of the screen.

like: p_startscript: unknown script "mstartstuff"
and: p_startscript: unknown script "getsfxcvar"

The Zandronum version was made with multiplayer in mind, GZDoom version is for single player.

Oh, I see. Thank you Valherran. Is there a way where I can get the 2.0 Zandronum version of this mod? I've been searching for it with no luck.

I went over there to have a look and this MOD has been paused in development since before Zandronum 2.0 came out, and the author (Thetis) hasn't been seen for ages. I don't know if Zandronum offers the older versions for DL (or even supports them online), but sadly there is no version of the MOD that has been patched to support Zandronum 2.0. That's how long he's been gone.

And NO, WoC_2.0 doesn't work correctly with GZDoom versions newer than 2.2 unless if you will use fixed WoC version by vidumec or another compatibility fix made by someone else. I suspect what Thetis (or somebody) has continue working on mod.

I dunno wich are exactly version is zandro 2.0 compatible, but you can try to find WoC older vesions here:
https://www.wad-archive.com/search?q=wrathofcronos*
requires registration for download, but seems like that is a last place with the WoC files older than 1.8a.

Hey, Thetis! Check your private messages please.

Probably a bit late to the party, but it seems that Wrath of Cronos has been updated recently!
https://allfearthesentinel.net/zandronu ... thofcronos
Now it's beta 2 and it seems that only works with Zandronum.

Since August judging by the upload dates... I wish he came by to tell us about this site, I would have tested everything for him.
