It should work in ZDoom. I've played Strife DM with Danni (ZDaemon developer) with a 2.0.63a beta of ZDaemon and there were no problems whatsoever.
Odamex does not and will not have Strife support. Odamex is Doom first and foremost.
Since Odamex is an opensource project, I dont think the doors to such thing should be shut. It is just that it isn't a high priority for the main development team.
It's not a priority at all for the dev team, and as I'm part of this team as well I know what I'm talking about.
I'm not sure what you mean, but if you're referring to anything happening in the odamex community to you like that please do not hesitate to pm me.
This is getting too much off topic so. Are there any future productions on Odamex making Hexen, Heretic, Strife workable on this engine?
