Greetings all.
I am presently writing a Client/Server suite of programs to allow DOOMers
to play each other via null-modem/modem/IPX/Telnet (all from the one
Client) but I need info on the specifics of the various packet formats in
the 512 byte packet buffer in the DOOMcom structure to enable me to write
the Server package.
I have sent email to the id help desk requesting this information and
they basically told me (and I quote):
>The specs that we have released are somewhere out there on the net. If
>you want them you will have to ask around for them. We have released
>some info about all of this... it just takes some searching to find it.
>There are many people out working on projects like yours. If you find
>those people you find the info...
End quote.
The person who was kind enough to send me this reply was smart enough not
to put their name to it. You would think that if they have released
information about this then they would be happy to give it to people (or
sell it as the case may be). That attitude just doesn't wash with me.
Never mind that though - any developers who DO have the DOOM packet
formats and ARE WILLING TO SHARE IT please send me some e-mail. I have
been looking for these specs for a while so I thought I would try the
source (but to no avail as you can see).
Thanx in advance.
