So, anywhere we can watch the progress? Any updates?

You can watch that bug, watch the changelog, and hang out in the IRC channel.

I said limited as in functionality, not as in license restrictions.  Read my post thoroughly.  And yes, there are LGPL/GPL audio toolkits out there that are far more advanced than SDL-Mixer alone.  Just go to FreshMeat and Sourceforge, and look them up.

I think the point of this thread has been lost.  Please remind me again why this matters?  SDL_mixer is working fine for us.

Could an index of files be given, with headers only, for those of us interested in the development, and compatability with other cocurrent projects. 

I don't see how this will help.  When the source is ready it will be available to everyone.  Given your rather ambitious project, it seems that you've got some work to do before it would even be necessary.  It doesn't seem to make much sense though, given that there's nothing purposely unique that make odamex special from other ports.  It uses the same CTF standard as the other two, it is boom compatible, all of which is available in boom/prboom.  There really is not much at this point that distinguishes an odamex-compatible wad from anything else.

Also, if you could post some of the resources you have been given for your project it may help other projects coordinate.  Remember, you are on the leading edge of development, and nice diplomacy will really help.

This request seems vague.  Chocolate doom, prboom and maybe even eternity studies and code extraction are the only "resources" we've utilized.  Odamex uses SDL for graphics, input, audio (_mixer).  The network code is heavily reworked from csdoom .62. 

The last bit of the previous quote almost sounds a bit threatening.  If you understand our situtation then you'll see why such a request is not possible or useful.

You're offering suggestions based on a real lack of knowledge about how odamex is actually constructed.  A bit of wiki research will tell you that most zdoom stuff has been ripped out and that it uses sdl_mixer for audio. 

Before you try to step in and start suggesting what our "few options" are, please find out more about what you're talking about.

So yeah some things are still not working right now, but we wanted to get something up and going to generate interest.  In other words, you need not worry about letting me know if something is 404 or not working quite right for now.  Once I get back to adding features I'll ask you guys for a bit of site testing.

Odamex will be available "when it's ready".

And on that note, this thread has really lost its usefulness, if there ever was any to begin with.
