|
|
K. Now.. I will not write a boring review with reasons and explanations, so I'll proceed directly to the point.
As a constant ZD user I wanna make suggestion which for my opinion could be of kinda progress in ZD industry.. lol.. XD.
"Zdaemon&DC united" like this.
Explanation: In my opinion 'twould be of some good if ZD will take some interface features of DC. An idea with rooms for example more comfortable use I think, realtime pinging system (more accurate server pinging), a lobby (actually no problem bout ZD mirc, but still more comfortable)
Another suggestion.
'ts not a secret that ZDaemon is based on zdoom 1.22.
Can it change its base for a more improved zdoom?(2.0.63)
"Gotta problems with ZD!? Don't use it!"- you can say. Reasonable enough..
OK. Now don't you ZD Devlopers see the written as critics, cuz this is not!
All I want is to suggest smth that could be more unique (at least I think so). |

Ok, time to disect certain comments:
Max Overkill wrote: | An idea with rooms for example more comfortable use I think, realtime pinging system (more accurate server pinging), a lobby (actually no problem bout ZD mirc, but still more comfortable) | Wait for ZDaemon 1.07 (for all of the above).
Quote: | 'ts not a secret that ZDaemon is based on zdoom 1.22. | Wrong, it's based on ZDoom 1.23 b33.
Quote: | Can it change its base for a more improved zdoom?(2.0.63) | That was in the works, but it hasn't been touched since last November
Quote: | All I want is to suggest smth that could be more unique (at least I think so). | The above requests have been asked plenty of times before. A good forum search always helps. |

Also, DC is in for quite a suprise when 1.07 comes out.
And i dont think its gonna unify DC and ZD any closer.
Which is good imo. |

DC is not a "port". It is a user interface to various ports, including ZDaemon. Unifying ZDaemon with DC would imply that DC would no longer support these other ports, which would be bad. We are all better off right now with DC as an option for those whol like that sort of thing. The "chat lobby" in 1.07 will be a nice alternative for those who do not care for DC. |

*cough*IRC*cough*
Again, you are getting the port/user interface thing confused. mIRC is a client for connecting to IRC. IRC is the actual chat medium. I don't use mIRC, but I still get on. Same applies for many others including Raider. |

Yeah anything that attracts more players to the world of doom sure is an awful thing. |

I meant that as a safety precaution.
If DC still wants to be able to unite connecters to Zdaemon they are gonna have to change some stuff, thats all.
Not everyone has a short vision you know, you just need the mentality to look around it. |

Wow, what a stupid post.
Did a DC user to say something about being unique?
I guess he never saw doomserv and zone.
As far as it being a comfortable interface, I prefer game requests over game rooms in a multiuser gamelauncher. |

Well, most people usually don't like to play with bots. Sure, bots would be a nice idea, but it's just going to be a lot of work to improve on them. The thing with this is that bots require some coding. It's actually supposed to be one of the hardest aspects to code in the game, and you cannot just use code from other projects.
By the way, make a new thread next time. |

DC Isnt cool! The fact that you have to go out and download all the ports outside of DC not worth DLing |

That's like saying IDE is a waste of download because you have to 'download all the ports outside of IDE'. Same thing with Doomserv and Doomwire, except those two only cover ZDoom. |

DC is just a program so that you can play online DOom with all the ports without having to close one exe and open another. All you do is open DC, and if you have it installed, you can play any port/game.
DC is great if you set it up right and you know what you like. |

Topic closed cause this is showing signs of preference for and/or against DC, without providing any serious input. |
