Also (this is an upstream problem, but really annoying) Git keeps throwing stupid errors because some of the files have wrong line endings. If anyone knows how to turn that off or can go fix those in svn it'd be nice.

Try:
git config --global core.autocrlf true

Hello!

This is my first time making a diff for Odamex, so sorry if I did not do it correctly!

I have attached to this post a diff file that adds a new cvar (cl_quitmsg, defaults to "http://odamex.net/") to Odamex, the cvar is limited to 25 characters, and is shown when a player disconnects or times out. If the player chooses to not have a quit message, he can simply make the cvar empty (cl_quitmsg "") and it will not show up when he disconnects (nor will the brackets the quit message is contained in).

I chose not to add this feature to the menu in fear of the menu code breaking. It was too complex for my very modest coding skill.

Thank you!

EDIT: I made a mistake with the diff, it was sending the quit message to the master for some reason. Fixed.

There is no installer, just double click odalaunch.exe to list servers.

Sheds a lot of light on the subject, many thanks!

There was fairly limited information in the OdaWiki, so I'll ask here.

May I see an example of how to use a startmapscript/endmapscript with if commands to see how to correctly cycle wads and maps?

The other problem is the fact that odamex has no unicode style ingame language font, so this feature might be considered useless unless someone wants to develop one.

I'm positive you can't get all 95,221 Unicode characters in the Doom font, not only is this impractical as hell, but it'll make for a ridiculously huge download. (And you would probably have to enslave someone to work 24/7 on it.)

Unless, of course, you don't go with the Doom font, and replace it with a real anti-aliased one, which would probably look gaudy in-game.

Great news.
