multiplayer,

[SlimeBeast]

anyone know of any other ways to play multiplayer besides zandorium? I cannot actually use it, because it requires fmod. I tried building it but it won't build. (using linux!)

I was using AUR to do so btw.

I have a unique distro right now.

Anywho, just curious.

Even installing fmod from source doesn't remove this problem. It keeps insisting I don't have it when I do.

Hello,

- There's compiled binaries of zandronum that you can download, e.g. Linux 64 bit here https://zandronum.com/download
- If you do want to build zandronum, check out this guide https://wiki.zandronum.com/Compiling_Zandronum_on_Linux . It's a bit hard to get FMOD these days, yes, but the good news is, the library is hosted on zandronum.com, here https://zandronum.com/essentials/fmod/fmodapi44464linux.tar.gz and there's more information about this step in this section: https://wiki.zandronum.com/Compiling_Zandronum_on_Linux#Download_FMOD

There are other ways to do multiplayer too. You can try gzdoom multiplayer, but that tends to have issues, especially when playing with people that aren't in the same area of the world as you are.

I think there's been some work in making an Odamex compatible version of Chex Quest 3. I'll get back to you on that. Keep in mind most mods/map packs made for Chex are for either gzdoom or zandronum.

EDIT: Here's some information on the Odamex port of Chex Quest 3: https://www.chexquest3.com/downloads/#ODAMEXZDaemon_Chex_Quest_3_Port

Even installing fmod from source doesn't remove this problem. It keeps insisting I don't have it when I do.

Can you paste the error message you're getting? You may have to set LD_LIBRARY_PATH to where the fmod .so files are located.
