1. The easiest way to play a zdaemon demo is to select both the demo file and the wad file using ctrl+click and drag them to zdaemon.exe. 2. If you are used to using command line to play demos zdaemon works the same way except the parameter is -netplay instead of -playdemo and you add the file extention .zdo instead of no file extension. -netplay demoname.zdo -file wadfile.wad Remember that zdaemon supports long file names so usnig the commandline will require more typing than dos ports or doom2.exe. 3. The stupidest way to play a demo is to run zdaemon from the command -file wadname.wad without the demoname and then use the console command NETPLAY [demoname]
