The source to an advanced Dreamcast DOOM engine has been released. I have no idea if this is of any use, but I'm thinking that this puppy has to be resource friendly if it runs on a Dreamcast and support 3D floors complete with floor textures.
Also, check out that water!

Features like this would most certainly be welcome in Odamex if possible!

Just wondering cause that would be great! ;)

Just wondering? It appears to be an older ZDOOM feature so I was wondering if there were any plans to support it in future releases?

We have support for Railguns which is a plus, but I can not seem to get any of the old ZDOOM bits to work as featured here:

I believe these existed in ZDOOM 1.22 and earlier, so I assume this is just a feature that happens to be broken like the MBF bits and new thing types?

Regardless if Decorate support is planned for the future or not, these features could be used now to expand upon the old Deh which we must work with in order to create new weapons and enemies. While I would prefer Decorate, I can live with the old school methods as well, though I'd prefer to have these and possibly MBF's features re-implemented. BOOM's as well.

Fingers crossed so tightly the blood pressure is cutting off. ;)

I would like to continue editing my maps in DOOM format, but have been considering experimenting with slopes.

Do I need to be in HEXEN format to do this, or is it possible to use slopes in DOOM format?

Every time I try to connect to a server on my XBOX, it says that DOOM2 is a commercial WAD and will not be downloaded.

Fine with me, I already have it, but why does it keep saying this and never allow me to join a game?

Thankx!

I have been eagerly awaiting this latest release of Odamex, for it was to include sloped floor support, which I was waiting on so I could play through Rex's Darkest Hour on my classic XBOX game console, not to mention within the AROS operating system which Odamex is currently being ported to.

As fate would have it, the sloped surfaces worked like a charm and I began to get very excited, though as I moved on through the game I began to realize that not everything from zDOOM 1.22 or 1.23 for that matter were fully supported yet.

It would seem that part of the scripting system is broken as you can not collect the space suit and go outside in Darkest Hour, which hinders all progress in the game.

I understand that Odamex is designed with on-line Death Match in mind, and not geared so much for the Single Player experience, but it, unlike zDOOM is not dependent upon FMOD.DLL which therefore makes it easily portable to a variety of platforms, and possibly the most advanced DOOM port in the portability category.

It is for this reason that I would love to see Odamex's source brought up on to speed in this regard. Not only would I love to be able to enjoy Rex among some of the other DOOM Mapper's old zDOOM work on my XBOX and AROS machine, but I'd also like to eventually rebegin work on my own Odamex related project some day, and I'm quite sure that I'm going to want to make use of as many old (and maybe new) zDOOM features as possible. This is after all part of what sets Odamex apart from say, PrBOOM, that is when you take the multi-player element out of the equation. Though of course I am really keen on the idea of multiplayer missions as well! ;)
