I'm tired of this site being dead and the first thing I see on the front page being "Damnit," so here are some updates as to what the heck is going on!
First of all Manc is not gone. In fact he has been
hard at work implementing some
pretty cool things into Odamex. Russell has also been bending his brain around sectors and recently implemented a new patch that makes them about 99.9% smooth and sexy. With these features and a recent reimplementation of the classic DOOM scoreboard for 4 or less players, expect to see 0.5.2 out pretty soon and 0.6 out within the next few months. Oh and upnp support too!
Also don't forget to check out Odamex Nitro! We play games of Odamex at 11 p.m. CST. We haven't been playing lately due to lack of organization but that doesn't mean we're done with it. Recently we had a server with
a pretty good number of people thanks to Unidoom! Neat!
So yeah Odamex is fine. People are coding for it and people are playing. We are still in need of a lead developer and could always use some help implemting features and squashing bugs. If you want to help Odamex be sure to hang out in #odamex on OFTC to see where you can start. Also people seem to be discouraged by not seeing people playing on the server list; don't be! There are plenty of Odamex players willing to play in #odamex and in #altdeath on QuakeNet. Don't be shy to ask for a game!
