Devoblog / Want to be involved with Odamex development? Here's your chance!
« on: April 10, 2008, 21:19:05 »
After taking some time to look through the bug tracker it is apparent that there may be bugs which are resolved but unmarked to reflect this in the tracker. This is not conducive to the development of Odamex.
In light of this, I am beginning a new Bug Tracker Cleanup Initiative which promotes community and personal involvement and investment in Odamex. This will hopefully lead to a healthier, more manageable project for our programmers and encourage faster project growth.
The way to get involved is easy! All you have to do is let me know by means of this thread, IRC, or other method of contact that you would like to participate in the program and then, after your credentials are evaluated, you will be assigned the numbers of open bugs in our tracker.

Developer's Corner / Bug Tracker Cleanup Initiative - April 2008 - r565
« on: April 10, 2008, 20:41:03 »
After taking some time to look through the bug tracker it is apparent that there may be bugs which are resolved but unmarked so in the tracker. This is not conducive to the development of Odamex.
In light of this, I am beginning a new Bug Tracker Cleanup Initiative which promotes community and personal involvement and investment in Odamex. This will hopefully lead to a healthier, more manageable project for our programmers and encourage project growth.
The way to get involved is easy! All you have to do is let me know by means of this thread, IRC, or other method of contact that you would like to participate in the program and then, after your credentials are evaluated, you will be assigned the numbers of open bugs in our tracker.
WHAT YOU NEED TO DO
Revision 565 or greater is REQUIRED for this. For Windows users, you can get revision 565 here. Users of other platforms will have to build their own copy of revision 565.
Your job is to identify or try to reproduce the bug in your current client. PLEASE SPECIFY THE PLATFORM YOU ARE RUNNING ON.
If you cannot reproduce the bug but you are 100% sure that the bug does not exist anymore you will mark the bug SOLVED (in this thread, not the tracker). DO NOT MARK A BUG SOLVED IF YOU ARE NOT 100% SURE IT IS SOLVED. READ DOWN FOR FURTHER INSTRUCTIONS.
If you can identify the bug you will mark the bug OPEN. Additionally, if you have any new information as to how the bug is reproducible or anything else useful, you should report any new findings to the bug tracker immediately.
If you cannot reproduce the bug but are not sure that it is corrected you will mark the bug UNSURE. This may or may not be the most common response we'll receive. We'll have to see how this goes.
While it is important to find any new information on a bug, it is not the main goal of this program. The main goal is simply put to determine the legitimacy of any bugs still in the Tracker (some of which have been open for over 2 years!). However if you do find new information pertaining to a bug you are responsible for, PLEASE REPORT IT!
Any bug in which you have not attended to please mark PENDING.
Upon signing up you will be assigned anywhere from between 5 to 10 bugs. A list of those who are signed up, the bugs they are responsible for, and the reported status of those bugs will be located directly under this information.
Although a list of all open bugs will be located in this post as well, please only focus on solving the bugs you have been assigned. After you have solved the status of some of your assigned bugs, you will be assigned more. If you prove reliable, the specific field in which your bugs are assigned may be negotiable where applicable (i.e. Sound, CTF, etc).
Only game play specific bugs will be included in this particular initiative. Enhancement bugs will not be included in this particular initiative.
The projected goal is to report and complete the status of all current open bugs by April 25th. Let's see if we can pull together and get the ball rolling towards the summer season (or winter for those of you in the southern hemisphere).

Mice (7) Note: More optical mice would be great.
Headphones (6)
8-Port Hub
Network cables (7)
Power strips (?) Note: Not sure how many of these we would need for 7 computers, monitors, a hub, and other equipment. At least 15 sockets.

Also, for the people who are attending, remember that if you want to swim or anything in the hotel pool, you should bring a bathing suit or what not. Though we're here on "business", each of us will have downtime to hang out and should enjoy as much as the rest of the festival has to offer.
Money Not Yet Spent
Potentially $10/day for Wireless = Approx. $30
$9/day for Parking (2 vehicles) = $54

Devoblog / Odamex October Contest Results
« on: November 05, 2007, 06:17:10 »
EDIT: DUE TO AN ERROR, THE CORRECT WAD WAS NOT ORIGINALLY UPLOADED. THE NEW ZIP CONTAINS THE FINAL WAD AND TEXT FILE.
We apologize for the delay but the results are finally in Odamex's October mapping contest. Five judges were tasked with picking the winners for this month's contest:
AlexMax - Organizer of the "zdctfmp" and "Odactf" series of wads.
Belial - #dmclub channel operator
deathz0r - Author of maps in the "UDM" series and organizer of the "32in24" series.
fyrestorm - Co-founder of Clan OS and map author
RottKing - Author of Dynamite DM
All of the entries in the contest were solid and judging results were very close. However, only one can win and this time the first place crown goes to Hobomaster22!
Hobomaster22's map will be the main tournament map when we travel to MAGFest and will also receive a shirt once they are printed.
Congratulations to Hobomaster22 and thank you to all of the other contestants who took the time to enter a map:
5hfifty, Andrew Apted, Alastair, Megalyth, and Memfis
Each map will be run in rotation when we visit MAGFest this January.
A server running this wad in rotation should be up soon so go ahead and grab the wad and get fraggin'!
Stay tuned for more upcoming Odamex contests!

Devoblog / 0.3 now available!
« on: November 04, 2007, 00:49:56 »
After a long period of no official releases, Version 0.3 is now here for you all to enjoy. This new version has vastly improved over our previous version, so much so that we are no longer in an alpha status!
Besides many internal fixes and optimizations that are less noticeable to the average player, here are some of the new features:
* Lots of internal optimizations
* Improved doom2.exe demo playback and regression testing materials
* Improved server console and administration functions
* Odamex.wad is now built on 100% free resources
* Capture the Flag sounds added
* Wallhack parameter added to disable it (currently improves playability)
Aside from this, our official site has some new features of its own. In the top-right corner of our page you will see a new donate button. As you may have heard at this point, Odamex has been invited to represent Doom and classic multiplayer gaming at MAGFest January 3-6 in Washington D.C. As such, we want to make sure we bring our A game and display a solid presentation in our exhibit. In order to improve that experience, we are making available a place where you, the odamex player (or developer or moderator or artist) can help us reach our goal of being the best at MAGFest. Your donations will directly aid us in our travels there. All contributions will go towards prizes, equipment, and other booth essentials that will help the Odamex area of the festival stand out. As a token of our appreciation, we will be displaying in our booth a thank you list of those that helped contribute money or other goods to us. You may choose how you'd like your name displayed or you may opt out if you prefer. Whatever the case may be, we always greatly appreciate the support of dedicated doomers and open source enthusiasts like you!
So without further adieu, download a package below and get fraggin' (or flaggin')!

General Discussion / Odamex at MAGFest
« on: September 05, 2007, 09:49:13 »
Hey everybody, as you may or may not have heard, Odamex plans to attend this year's MAGFest to get the word out. Our plans include three daily tournaments starting with FFA on day one, CTF on day two, and rounding off with a good old 1on1 tournament on day three. People will have opportunities to get their hands on cool Odamex stuff like shirts amongst other things!
If you're interested in attending, I have included some information on the MAGFest event below. We may require more people to staff our booth as well so if you think you can help us out it anyway please let me or Manc know. If you live within proximity to Philadelphia or can get here cheaply we can even car pool. Helping run the Odamex booth guarantees you free admission to the event.
WHEN: Thursday, January 3th - Sunday, January 6th 2008
WHERE: Hilton Mark Center, Alexandria, Virginia, USA (Right outside of Washington DC)
MAGFEST PRICING:
Pre-registration: $35 <-- current phase
At-door registration: $40
HOW MUCH WILL THE ODAMEX TOURNAMENTS COST TO ENTER?
Nothing! They're free of course!
So if you're interested in attending either as a staffer or just to visit make sure to let us know and if you have any questions about MAGFest you can ask me for more information or check out their official website at http://magfest.org.
We're very excited to be able to show Odamex off at this very public event (over 1000 attendees!) and fully expect the event to be renamed FRAGFest after we're done with it.

Developer's Corner / Re: Strife Multiplayer?
« on: March 21, 2007, 18:30:10 »
This is getting too much off topic so. Are there any future productions on Odamex making Hexen, Heretic, Strife workable on this engine?
These have never been one of our goals ever. They are not even a priority.

You can send the source to me, deathz0r, or Russell amongst a few others. We will get them to the proper people on our team

Technical Support / Re: MS-DOS!!

Dreamcast has a broadband adapter which many developers utilize to run their code on the system. However, last time I checked noone had written a decent driver for any of the DC modems

I personally like the scoreboard, but the beauty of open source is that you can make something and present it to us
