There is also a slimmed down version which does not include additional files, and allows you to specify your dosbox and doom file locations in a setup tab, however when using this method you must make sure you and the other players have the exact same pwad filepath if you are to use custom pwads.Äownload coming soon, after a couple of polishes and when a proper name has been thought of, or simply contact me on irc if you want to test it out (find me, I'm known as Hypnotoad on quakenet and pretty much everywhere else doom related now) before then. The only technical ability needed is for at least one person (the host) to have port 213 forwarded. The utility will automatically set up everything in dosbox, including ipx emulation, directory mounting, correcting aspect ratio, passing on command line parameters (via a response file the program writes to) to the master and other nodes, and launching the game. Then, simply specify the parameters in the GUI if you are the host and click start hosting, or to simply connect to another host just put in his ip in the connect tab and click connect to host, and that's it, you will get straight to the action! This has been verified to work with multiple different testers. All that is needed is for you to add a doom/doom2 IWAD to the DOOMIPX folder, and any vanilla compatible pwads to the pwad folder. I've been working on a new utility, it lets you very quickly play vanilla doom online with up to three other friends, and requires absolutely no knowledge of dosbox, you don't even have to know that dosbox exists! Everything works out of the box: it comes with a special version of doom 1.9 properly set up, with a modified IPXSETUP.EXE (network device driver by Micah Nutt, more info here: ) that allows for a master/slave relationship allowing the master to pass all parameters to the other nodes, rather than everyone having to specify the same parameters, which makes things a lot easier, along with being distributed with a version of dosbox, all set up ready to go.
