Personal Game Server on Doomseeker
This article is going to aim on quickly starting up a game server within Zandronum's default server browser, Doomseeker. Without any delays - lets begin!

General
Here, we're going to setup some of the essentials of the game server. Below is what is going to be used on our game server:
- Engine
- Zandronum
- Executable
- Be sure that this is already setup, otherwise - skip this.
- Server Name
- My First Personal Game Server
- Port
- Skip it unless necessary
- Game Mode
- Duel
- Map
- MAP09
- IWAD
- Doom2.wad
- Additional WADs and files
- Skip this, we will just use the IWAD stock maps.
- Broadcast to LAN
- Select this if you wish to broadcast the gameserver within the LAN network.
- Broadcast to Master
- Select this if you wish to broadcast the gameserver openly.
Rules

- No monsters
- Items other than invuln. and invis. respawn

Start the game server
There is tabs such as DMFlags2, Compat. Flags, and Custom parameters, however - in this tutorial we will need not to worry about them for now. Thus, all that must be done now - is to start the game server by clicking the 'Start server'!
Use various settings!
This guide is simply a 'quick start' and we purposely left off many cool tricks. However, always feel free to be adventurous when setting up a new server, for example, survival invasion.
