Technical Support / Re: This is a commercial WAD and will not be downloaded.
« on: December 16, 2012, 19:09:53 »
If your version of a WAD does not match the server's version, the client will automatically try to download it. In an IWAD's case, it will just kick you and give the "cannot be downloaded" error. Perhaps your doom2.wad is modified or outdated. Try using an iwad patcher to update it.

Bump. Just wanted to mention that Peerblock does block one of our servers called "DTX1". Add this IP to your exception list to see them:

General Discussion / How Did You Find Odamex?
« on: September 13, 2012, 13:26:50 »
I remember AceOfSpades and Nautilus talking about it in a public Skulltag 96f Dwango5 Duel server back in 2006. When my friend asked "What is Odamex?" they shared the link to odamex.net. Back then the site was just "ODAMEX: Coming Soon..."
After that I managed to miss the 0.1a release but got 0.2a shortly after release. From then on I watched the port in IDE but hardly played it much until the 0.4 series, when I started hanging around the IRC channels and really started to take a like to the oldschool feel. I had forgotten what classic Doom felt like after playing Skulltag and ZDoom for so long, it was refreshing and nostalgic :)
How about you?

Devoblog / 32in24-12 Announced!
« on: August 12, 2012, 00:08:35 »
I don't know how many/if any of you keep up with DoomWorld, so I figured it might be worth mentioning here that Shaikoten has announced that 32in24-12 has started. The 32in24 Series is a collaboration of maps designed by mappers in a period of 24 hours, then refined over a few days. Its a fun community event that lots of Doomers like to take part in. I mention this because Odamex happens to be involved! 32in24-11 was previously a double feature for Odamex Nitro, first to test the maps one Saturday then play the finished product the next. It was pretty sweet! We are doing the same this upcoming week to celebrate a year since the launch of Odamex Nitro.
32in24-12 will be CTF this time around, the maps being in Boom format. If you would like to get involved, be sure to check out the official DoomWorld thread regarding the subject.

General Discussion / Idle in the servers more!
« on: July 24, 2012, 18:10:26 »
In attempt to get more people joining Odamex servers, I think I will start to idle in the Anthology CTF server more. Typically on other ports if you can get a CTF game that anyone can join going, people will tend to stay in the server all day long. I would like for Odamex to have this "Central hub CTF server" (as I call it) as well.

Maps, Wads and Mods / Re: ZDuCTF Conversion
« on: June 23, 2012, 05:59:06 »
ZD had an old CTF standard that involved using red and blue keycards for flags and red and blue particle fountains for player starts. Odamex does not support this because a CTF Standard was established years ago between ZDaemon and Skulltag to make maps that were compatible with both source ports. Odamex also supports this standard.

General Discussion / Re: zDOOM 1.22 Compatability...
« on: June 23, 2012, 05:55:26 »
I'm wondering if it really is a matter of not supporting something from ZDoom 1.22, or the fact that Odamex's ACS parser is updated to 1.23b33 which might have changed something and broken the wad. Notice that "ZDoom 1.22 is required" according to the page you linked to. Feel free to put it on the bug tracker though.
While it is few, there are a few features from ZDoom 1.22 and below that were never implemented. The only one I can think of off the top of my head is stealth monster things, which make missing things appear in bella.wad.

General Discussion / Re: How far down the ZDoom rabbit hole should Odamex go?
« on: June 20, 2012, 17:54:26 »
I think stopping at ZDoom 1.23 b33 and then backporting stuff from ZDoom 2 and other ports is our best option (provided we got Randy's permission). Before we start looking at what ZDoom 2 has to offer however, the bug tracker needs to be cleared out a bit more.

Maps, Wads and Mods / ZDuCTF Conversion
« on: May 18, 2012, 01:09:10 »
I am currently in the process of converting zductf to the CTF standard so that it can work in Odamex. So far its as easy as opening each map in db2 and using find/replace to convert the things. I also plan to update the textures to use the Odamex logo banners from Anthology.
One thing I also want to do is fix any bugs that were in the old version. Does anyone know of any maps with major issues?

Technical Support / Useful Info To Make Life Easier
« on: May 12, 2012, 21:24:40 »
Hi!!! I thought I would share some useful info to make managing Odamex easier. Many people get kinda turned off when they hear Odamex does not use the traditional "-iwad / -file / -deh" method of launching. However, that does not make our system worse!
waddirs
This command is used to automatically load your wad files! Now me, I personally keep my iwads and pwads seperate, so I use a ; to seperate the paths (note that it uses : for the seperator on Linux, and possibly other non-windows OSs as well)
For example, my iwads are all in c:\users\hex\doom\iwads
My pwads, however are in c:\users\hex\doom\pwads
So how would I add the paths? Easy!
waddirs "c:\users\hex\doom\pwads;c:\users\hex\doom\iwads"
cl_waddownloaddir
cl_waddownloaddir "c:\users\hex\doom\pwads" tells Odamex where you want wads downloaded by the server to be saved at.
Additionally, here is some other useful stuff!
cl_autorecord 1
This cvar will automatically record a netdemo when you join a server
cl_splitnetdemos 1
This will stop the previous netdemo and start a new one after a map change. Handy!
cl_screenshotname
This is how screenshots will be written for viewing later. You can use tokens to name your screenshots automatically! Here they are:
// Default screenshot name. Parses the following tokens:
// %d: date in YYYYMMDD format
// %t: time in HHMMSS format
// %n: player name
// %g: gametype
// %w: WAD file loaded; either the first PWAD or the IWAD
// %m: Map lump
// %%: Literal percent sign
I recommend:
set cl_screenshotname "screenshots\Odamex_%g_%d_%t_%n_%w_%m"
NOTE: The addition of "screenshots\" will not create the directory! You must create the directory manually or else Odamex will fail to save screenshots! I hate a messy source port directory myself :)
cl_netdemoname
Same thing as screenshotname but for netdemos! Uses the same tokens as mentioned above.
Once again I recommend:
set cl_netdemoname "demos\Odamex_%g_%d_%t_%n_%w_%m"
NOTE: The addition of "demos\" will not create the directory! You must create the directory manually or else Odamex will fail to save demos!
netrecord and stopnetdemo
One interesting thing Odamex can do that no other port can is the ability to start a netdemo midgame without having to reconnect to the server. The command netrecord will start a demo instantly, and stopnetdemo will stop it and save whenever you choose.
I actually have stopped using autorecord for duels, and just start and stop whenever the game starts and ends to cut dead time. Whenever you start a demo, it automatically starts a demo based on the format you use for cl_netdemoname as mentioned above. Here are my binds:
bind kp7 "netrecord"
bind kp9 "stopnetdemo"
If you do not want to edit these in-game, you can edit them in odamex.cfg if you so choose.
Playing back Demos
There are 3 ways:
1) Use IDE or Doomseeker versions that support the playback of Netdemos.
2) Type out "netplay myctfdemo" in the console, and odamex will load it if it can find it.
3) On Windows, associate .odd files with the Odamex client. When you double click the demos, Odamex will automatically load them and start playing. Odamex will load the necessary wads if they can be found (via waddirs).
Controlling a Demo
Here are the default demo controls:
Up arrow: Previous map/ restart map
Down arrow: skip to next map
left key: skip back 30 seconds
right key: skip forward 30 seconds
SR-50
alias "+sr50l" "+strafe\;+left\;"
alias "+sr50r" "+strafe\;+right\;"
alias "-sr50l" "-strafe\;-left\;"
alias "-sr50r" "-strafe\;-right\;"
bind "e" "+sr50l"
bind "q" "+sr50r"
Now when using W + D to SR40, press and hold Q to enable SR50. Same for W + A with E
Also here is my config for smooth sailing when it comes to comfort:

Technical Support / Re: 0.6 Launcher, changes?
« on: May 12, 2012, 12:50:09 »
Yes, the launcher protocol has changed a bit from 0.5.6. You need to use Odalaunch 0.6.0 to see the 0.6 servers.
Until someone can help you further, I can point you to this so you can at least see the servers and connect manually
