If you use Doomseeker, would like to, or just want to browse servers without needing to start Turok2 first, a plugin has been created for Doomseeker to provide just that.
If you don’t know what Doomseeker is, here is its website (http://doomseeker.drdteam.org/). It is maintained by two long term Doom community members Blzut3 (https://doomwiki.org/wiki/Braden_Obrzut_(Blzut3)) and Zalewa. The gist is it's a GUI program designed to be able to list servers from various games (namely Doom source ports) and allows you to quickly join them, as well as find and locate mods if needed.
To use Turok2Ex in Doomseeker, simply download the latest Doomseeker here:
Doomseeker 1.1 (http://doomseeker.drdteam.org/download.php)
As of writing, select Download Complete 1.1 Plugin Update 1 Package.
Note you may need to do this if you are using an older version of Doomseeker, as plugins only download/update if you have them already. Doomseeker never automatically updates plugins you don't have.
Users with the older Turok2Ex Doomseeker plugin may also have to update manually this way as well, due to differences in update architecture.
Once downloaded, all you need to do is configure the plugin to point to your Turok2 executables, like so (https://puu.sh/wpbCw/1e06070666.png), and you’ll be able to join servers directly for Doomseeker. You can also configure & launch dedicated servers from Doomseeker as well.
It's worth noting that Doomseeker is in no way affiliated with us or anybody at NightDive Studios. We can provide support for the plugin, but not Doomseeker itself.

Yeah its really nice to use and being able to view the lobbies without launching the game, you can just see when a players enters any of the servers (it tells you who is there by steam/gog username and score also) and you can join right through it. Its ironic for me heh should I play Doom or Turok through DS today lol. I personally use it a lot I have it launched for Doom and Turok. I also was hosting a server through it (I AM TUROK -Raptor fest) but as we can see Educator's got servers covered xD Anyways, thanks for the good work I use this one everyday. 8)

I'm not very familar with it but i should check it out.

As a note, this can't browse lobbies, only the dedicated servers. The lobbies are maintained by GOG/Steam services which 3rd parties cannot access.

Thanks for the heads up. I didn't realize that it was only the dedicated servers visible, that's fine though. I should have known by now since I have only seen dedicated servers lmao. But hey I like how at the bottom of the DS application you can easily filter the results to show Doom or Turok or both.
