ZServ 1.10.25 - Update Hotfix #1
2024-10-29 • AF-Domains • (General ZDaemon News)

A new version of the ZServ has now been released.

This accounts for a MAPINFO error-handling regression case.

The ZServ would exit out with a fatal error with a message similar to the following:
SC_GetFloat: Bad numeric constant "forcenoskystretch".
Script MAPINFO, Line 17


Due to this it is strongly recommended to update to the new ZServ dated 2024-10-29 (it is now available via our Downloads section).

 

ZDaemon 1.10.25 released

2024-10-28 • AF-Domains • (General ZDaemon News)

ZDaemon 1.10.25 is now available; ZDaemon Launcher users will be able to update by going to Help -> Check for Updates.

The Linux and BSD ZServ binaries are available via the Downloads page.

This version contains various underlying improvements and fixes; for the full run-down you'll want to check out the changelog.

Please note: 1.10.25 servers will require all players to update to the latest version.

Highlights

- IWADPatcher updates to support later IWAD versions.

- The News menu is now more prominent in the ZDaemon Launcher

- Client and Server optimizations

- Adjustments made to the 'screenshot_scores' CVAR; new values are:
0 - Disabled
1 - Only during single player and online modes
2 - Demo playback also included

- Added a 'removebot' command that'll allow you to remove a specific
bot either via the bot's player id or player name.

For Doom Explorer users, our setup executable and archive have been updated accordingly in the Downloads section.

ZDaemon - Scanner false positives

2024-02-22 • AF-Domains • (General ZDaemon News)

There have been a few reports regarding the zdaemon.exe and/or zlauncher.exe being removed or quarantined by the Microsoft Scanner.

This is a long-standing false positive.

An exception will need to be added for both files or the zdaemon directory to prevent this from re-occurring.

All files are checked several times prior to any release.
