Take the wad and drag it onto Skulltag.exe. Go to Multiplayer > Offline Skirmish. Select your level, and Game Mode is Deathmatch. Customize it to your tastes, then scroll down to Start Game.

what kind of skulltag? single or online?

[dobin123]

and how to make on this wad anti cheat? like someone will not use IDKFA or god on the console..

[Xtyfe]

place an illusio pit with a cyber demon in it and it will kill all the cheaters no problem

[FDARI]

Surely, if you're hosting a deathmatch, you use the options to decide whether or not to allow cheating? Skulltag, of all ports, should be strong in cheat-preventability, with their tight lips and closed source.

I don't understand Xtyfe's cheat prevention trick, whatever an illusio-pit might be, and however it might pertain to cheating. Will it deal with cheaters and non-cheaters indiscriminately? (Reworded: Was your remark an obvious joke? Or: Is that a real thing you can do?)

it's in reference to WOW.wad

dammit its not working its not showing the players on the game i just going around all the map and my friend was on the map just like single

Oh, you want to host a server?
Well, that's a significantly different bag of dice, and one I would not suggest you pursue. Hosting a server is complex, difficult, and rife with problems.

Read about multiplayer options here:
http://zdoom.org/wiki/Command_line_para ... er_options

There is also a Networking section in this board
http://forum.zdoom.org/viewforum.php?f=5
where you can find answers to many related questions.

Plus, you and your friend should use the exact same version of ZDoom or GZDoom.

dude its not helps :'( can anybody knows how to play on custom wad deathmatch?

[FDARI]

There are many people here who know something about this, but I have one piece of very serious advice to give you:

If at all possible, find some person near you who can come to your computer and help you. And if you find a person who spends time helping you with this, be very patient and very grateful.

Do you know anybody who reads well? It helps if that person is skilled with computers too. If you find somebody who knows about NETWORKING you might have everything you need. (There is a chance that this person is a professional who would normally charge 100$ per hour for his help, so if you find such a person, remember that you're getting something for absolutely nothing, even if you don't get what you want in the end.)

so how i am creating by my self a custom server for skulltag or what else with my custom wad? (i made deathmatch wad)

[FDARI]

Does this mean that you have been unsuccessful in finding a nearby person to help you out?
If yes: Keep looking.
If no: Start looking.

For zdoom, this page: [wiki]Multiplayer[/wiki] contains useful information. It contains a few simple commands to host a multiplayer game.

You will need to know roughly what command line means.

Hopefully you and your friend will be connected to a shared local network already. (If not, you'll need networking help, and you'll need it from someone local, not these forums)
You open your command line tool (CMD).
Go to the zdoom folder (using the CD - command).

---

How did I find that wonderful video? I searched the internet for "CMD TUTORIAL".

---

The command you need begins with: zdoom -host 2 -deathmatch
The above is to host a game for 2 players in deathmatch mode.

You may also need to specify starting map, if it is not map01 or e1m1. To set the map, add +map mapname to your command line. In this example, the map is named "mymap".
The command you need has grown to: zdoom -host 2 -deathmatch +map mymap

You must load the wad that contains the map, using -file wadname. In this example, the wad is named "deathmatch.wad".
The command you need has grown to: zdoom -host 2 -deathmatch +map mymap -file deathmatch.wad

If the wad is not in the same folder as zdoom, you might need to put the full path to the file in the command. If there are spaces in the name, it might need to be surrounded with quotes.
In this example, the wad is in the folder "C:\Games\Doom\Zdoom wads".

The command must then be: zdoom -host 2 -deathmatch +map mymap -file "C:\Games\Doom\Zdoom wads\deathmatch.wad"

Your friend needs to be in a cmd-window like you, for this solution. He needs to find his zdoom.exe.

He needs to know your IP address (a networking guy would be a help here).

The host (you, not your friend):
If you don't know the IP-address you can run the command IPCONFIG and see what you find.
If the result is too complex, try this instead: IPCONFIG|find /I "IP" or even IPCONFIG|find /I "IPv4"
Your IPv4 address will be a set of 4 numbers separated by periods: (example) IPv4 Address. . . . . . . . . . . : 10.0.0.2

-- Let us pretend that you have found the IP, and that it is 10.0.0.2; now back to your friend --

He must go to zdoom (in cmd), enter zdoom -join 10.0.0.2 or any other IP, and run the same wads that the host is running. He must find and add the wad on his own computer.

Both zdoom.exe and the wad files must be the same on the host and on your friend's machine.

If he put the files in exactly the same place, his final command line will look like: zdoom -join 10.0.0.2 -file "C:\Games\Doom\Zdoom wads\deathmatch.wad".

Once you have started the host, he should be able to connect using a command line like that, if you are in the same network and no firewalls stop you. If that happens, please - get somebody nearby to help you. If waiting and failing troubles you so much, go for a safe bet; talk to somebody who can sit next to, look at your equipment and tell you what to do.

The routines for skulltag may be similar, but they are not necessarily the same. I have never tried doing this with skulltag.
