We are back to our CTF roots this week! I'm not sure what the hell that means, but I'm making an effort to run more CTF wads. So I present you with BPCTF! There are some pretty decent maps in this maplist, so come check it out!

WAD: bpctfmp_lol3a
Maps: 12 (01-03, 06-09, 18, 22, 23, 26, 27)

See you there!

I’m pleased to announce the first Odamex Saturday Nitro Mapping Event! If you haven’t heard of Odamex Saturday Nitro, it is a weekly event held on Odamex that brings everyone together to play their favorite wads which has become very popular and is helping to shape the Odamex community. Nitro is a great place to showcase all types of wads, and that’s where this mapping event comes in. I’d like to get a bunch of people together to make some DM maps specifically for a Nitro session. The maps will be compiled into one wad and it will be run as one of our weekly sessions. Hopefully most of you can participate, but let’s get into the details first:

Deadlines
Start date: February 26th
End date: March 2nd  - This means ALL maps must be submitted to me by 11:59pm on the 2nd. We want to make sure the wad is ready to go by Saturday at 8pm.

Resources
Let’s not go crazy this time around. No custom textures or graphics: Doom 2 resources only! A midi for your map is fine.

This time around, I’m looking for at least 12-16 medium or large-sized maps. If we get more people willing to make maps, that’s great! You also have to remember that the player limit for most sessions is 12, so we don’t want to make any maps too small. I would say a map that fits 8 or more players at a time is acceptable.

I don’t think I forgot any details, but you can either post your questions here or find me in #odamex on irc.quakenet.org and I can hopefully answer them for you.

It's time once again for another Nitro session filled with BFG, BFG, and more BFG. And well, what better fits that description than Exec? 17 small, cramped maps filled with a bunch of maniacal doomers.. does it get any crazier? Well, maybe that omgmaps session..

Merry Christmas! There's no better way to spend the holidays than spending time with family, opening presents, eating desserts, and of course playing Odamex. It's a special time of year, so it's only fitting to run a special kind of wad, UDMX. Nearing the 3rd year since it's release, UDMX has captivated the mind and soul of all who have played it. Something else captivates minds and souls... oh yeah, Christmas! What a good match!

Don't forget to check out #odamex on the OFTC or QuakeNet networks before and after each session.

I wasn't able to make it last week, but I heard everything went really well and people were playing for several hours. That's really great to hear!

Time for another round of old school maps. This is a wad I haven't touched in years, should be a fun one to dig up.

On Saturday, the 32in24 team was nice enough to let Nitro be the debut of their newest creation. Although well over 30 people showed up, there were some server issues that hindered people's ability to play. That's why this week, we'll be revisiting the wad by having 2 servers that don't let more than 12 people play at the same time!

Dwango12 was a lot more fun than I expected it to be, we ended up playing for a solid hour and a half. The classic maps really are some of the best. Screenshots: #1, #2.

We played a couple of 32in24's early on, so that's why I saved this one for a little bit later. It's been a long time since I played this wad in a larger setting which makes me pretty excited!

See you there!

So, I was pleasantly surprised at how great those CTF maps played with that many people. I think everyone else was too, including fyre, who decided to come out of mapping retirement and make osctfmp2! I wish you good luck, I'll be ready to host it here when you're finished. Screenshots from last week: #1, #2, #3.

Crucified Dreams is a wad I've had on my mind since the first week of Nitro. I don't think there's a mediocre map in the entire wad. Honestly. I'm not a huge fan of making certain maplists for these events, so instead of cutting them out I decided to throw the smaller maps towards the end of the rotation. That way, when its peaking we all won't go crazy!
