IDE doesn't support ZDoom, I think you mean ZDaemon, go there and ask them.

You use ZDoom to start and join network games through it's command-line parameters.

the wikipage on mulitplayer for zdoom says u can use Ide to join online games

Right, and on that page it explains that there are three zdoom-based ports that are designed for multiplayer.

IDE will show you both zdaemon and skulltag games (CSdoom is mostly dead now, sadly).

Anyway, althought it's not up to date with all of zdoom's features, zdaemon is very fun to play and is a nice way to get your multiplayer doom fix. Just understand that's it's separate from zdoom.

its about time that ide should have zdoom for some sort of lobby based thing, like halo2 on xbox live.

Even though it work because that generally requires a Client-Server setup.

IRC+ZDoom.

Works like a charm.

Zdoom doesn't have the netcode for in-game joining, therefore a lobby based client would be pointless. If we had a better netcode, like Carn's (Who he won't release for some [censored word] reason) then this sort of thing would be a good idea.

More 'better netcode' nonsense... Hopefully it will never happen.

Give me one reason why not, apart from to feed the whole "M0r3 liek t3h 0ringi4l d00m.ex3 lol!" thing? I'm sure if this was added, Randy or Graf would be happy to make it so you can switch between the two.

Try playing it with someone who lives on the other side of the planet.
