csZDoom

csZDoom, also known as CSZDoom, is a source port and fork by drfrag. It is based off Zandronum 1.3 and it is focused on improving the general codebase through various Quality-of-Life additions. Its name stands for Client/Server ZDoom.

Its main purpose is to be a stable multiplayer platform with broad support for a variety of computer systems. It includes a custom version of Doomseeker called Doomseeker Zero, which hides regular Zandronum servers, but allows usage of the master server because the network protocol remained unchanged.
