After trying a multiplayer game yesterday, I had a message looking like this:

Warning: WAD SHA1 does not match server:
Local: <localsha1>
Server: <serversha1>

Thing is, the checksum is calculated over the lumps. I got confused, because it wasn't matching the one from Hexen 1.1's IWAD as found here: https://doomwiki.org/wiki/HEXEN.WAD

To clarify, I do have the right IWAD. My suggestion is to change the messages a bit, say, to have words like "WAD lumps SHA1". The same may hold to other reported checksums, say for DEH files.
