Sure thing, just as long as someone hosts it :)

What will be the difference between cardboard and doom's current renderer?  I assume it still uses software rendering, but what will it serve to improve upon?  Will certain renderer glitches (which have no use, such as  slime trails) be fixed?  Will it be easier to extend (ie, adding 3D floors)?

If you notice over on the left there is a menu item for "ladders" and "recent winners"

You'll need wxWidgets 2.8 or newer to compile it.

I've just compiled it with wx 2.6.3.3 :P

I honestly don't see why cheating has to be a witch hunt.  In real life there are times to be extremely serious and times where you are allowed to play around.  I see cheating in an online game as just playing around (When I'm cheating, it will be obvious :P).  Its just an interesting application of an inevitable fact of computer science and cryptography.  Cheating shouldn't be taken as seriously as it is.

Of course, cheating in competition is another story, and this is the main reason for writing algorithms that try to detect whether the end user is actually using cheats, or to make implementing those cheats impossible.  As long as there is free will, there is room for algorithm-enhanced free will.

Since Odamex is open source, kiddies don't diserve to have hacks handed to them.  They had better get down and dirty and hope they avoid server-side cheat detection.

From reading odawiki and faq I got feeling that odamex is targeted to old school players. Am I right? And somewhere else I read that jumping and freelook will be supported so why not PWO?

Anyway keep up the good work. Here, in czech republic, odamex is very hot topic and all OS players are awaiting it :)

^^ I agree completely.  Having the option to allow "newschool" features doesn't inhibit the quality of Odamex in oldschool-mode and I dont see why throwing it in to please us retarded n00b zdaemon/skulltag players is too much of an issue.

also, as far as exp and stats gathering goes, it could still be done independantly if the core development teem does not see a need for it.  Since the port is open source, you can make any modifications you see fit - including addiing a stats system to your servers.  That is something I will probebly do myself eventually.
