Doom Furs - 2nd Attempt At Servers Failed / No More Servers
10 years ago
General
Hello all, 
ben_roprim here.
As a second attempt arose to try and get servers up and running, there were 2 factors that were presented that made it fail. I will explain in detail, for those interested in knowing why.
Reason 1) Butchered UPNP/UDP
As some of you know, Zandronum 2.0 has was released about a week ago. For some reason Zandronum 2.0 has butchered UPNP and UDP configurations and stability. One moment servers are running fine, then the next day it says it cant inject a UPNP/UPD into my system's firewall. It seems others can sometimes do it, but at other times are not allowed to by system security reasons. Hopefully version 2.1 can fix this next update, cause there is nothing I can do.
For those that dont know what a UPNP or UDP is: It is a way for Zandronum or Doom itself to forcefully inject a "this IP is safe to use" security pass. This was intended for those who didnt know how to Port Forward there Internet Connections, and Doom/Zandro would do it for you instead. This is because Port Forwarding is very tedious and stressful as it requires you to go into your Ineternet's Default Gateway, and manually put your ports you want cleared of your firewall as 2 different types of IP Pv4. Again, very stressful crap D:
Reason 2) Only 4 People Gave Ideas for Servers
The lack of community involvement was very disappointing to see, yet again. Only me, Victoria, Mr.Canvas, and Zaphael has made an effort to contribute an idea. While the rest of the community, didnt give any other ideas. To me, that says a lot about how this community functions and it's quite sad to see. I dont want to bother putting myself out there and give you guys something awesome to do in the club, if no one is going to show that you guys want it as much as I do. When I first made this club, I wanted it to be something more then just a club that only talked about the game. I wanted it to be where people who loved doom, could come and play together. The option to do it is there, but no one is willing to come forth.
So besides all this, I have come to a decision. This club will no longer try to provide servers for the community, on the account that the community of the club has low to no interest in seeing it complete. I will no longer try to attempt making servers, or until Best-Ever comes out with new a functionality to provide servers that are Non-IRC.
That is all.

Maybe also posting tutorials on how to set up IDE could also be a thing?
A tutorial for setting up IDE? Could you elaborate on that some? Like, is there something your having trouble with that you'd like a tutorial on?
Like this, but with Doom all over it. ^3^
