How to setup your server using the DNSworld dashboard.
Login
Log in into your account to access the DNSworld dashboard.
Activate Server
Once your account has been created and have logged-in, you will have to choose Doom from the drop-down menu and press ACTIVATE BETA SERVER. This will automatically create your server.
Access Your Server
Your server will show up under Your Servers. Click onto your Doom server as shown below to access your server dashboard.
Obtain Server IP and Port
Once logged on the top ribbon click on the network tab to access your server IP Address and Port. We recommend keeping this page open to easily access your IP Address and Port when connecting to the server.
Connect through Doomseeker
Once done, download Zandronum at https://zandronum.com/ (opens in a new tab) and install the latest version. Once the installation is complete, open Play Zandronum Online (Doomseeker).
Configure Doomseeker
Once open, in the top ribbon under Options select Configure.
Add Server
In the Configuration panel, under Pinned Server, ensure the game version is set to Zandronum. Then, simply click +Add, this will prompt you to enter your IP Address (under Host) and Port, as collected in Step 4.
Apply Settings
Once complete select the newly added server and press Apply in the bottom right corner.
Launch Game
Returning to the main menu of Doomseeker, your newly added server will be highlighted and pinned automatically. Simply double-click it, and the game will launch automatically within 15–30 seconds. Happy gaming from the DNSworld team!
