Hi all, was just wondering, is it possible to start hosting a game from the command line for doom or doom2? Or is it necessary to use the dedicated server? Thanks in advance.

Sure, it's possible. Something like this: vavoom +MaxPlayers 8 +Deathmatch 2 +map map01

Awesome, I had seen that command in the documentation but wasn't aware it would start a game. Thanks!

Once again, thanks for the quick response, but now I seem to have some sort of problem. When I attempt to join a game from the command line, using "+Connect" followed by the IP address, Vavoom fails before it is fully loaded and exits.
