Setting up testing versions: Difference between revisions

Might as well not bother, right?

Sometimes you join a server, and your server browser says something about testing binaries. Or maybe Zandronum launches, but you see the message on the right. Don't just ignore the server! This guide will show you how to get your server browser to automatically download and install these testing releases for you.

Doomseeker

Note
The Doomseeker betas automatically enable and set up this, so you can set it to auto update to beta builds and it'll be all set up.

Setting it up in Doomseeker is stupid simple.

Open Doomseeker if you haven't already
Go to Options → Configure
Click on Zandronum under Engines
Check Testing Releases
Set a directory for Doomseeker to put the testing releases in (make sure it's outside of Program Files)
Click OK, and try to join a testing server!

Doom Explorer

Doom Explorer doesn't need any special set up. When you try to join a testing server, just press OK and it'll grab the binary for you!
