I think odamex is currently just suffering a small dry spell due to summer; once the weather starts to get a little more nasty, more people will crop up in the winter, I'm sure of it!

Zdaemon the most popular, ROFL. Maybe a couple years ago, not anymore. Also, popular should not be confused with good/best. Obviously there is some agenda at work there!

Welcome to odamex, arguably the most active multiplayer port development wise, with arguably the best community so far!

I wish you best of luck in training to get better!

Alex gave me a bunch of suggestions, which I implemented.

Features that changed from RC3 to 4

- Cut off a bunch of extra paths and recesses in 13
- Redetailed parts of 14 and changed the cell packs to charges
- darkened 15 by 1 gradient (14 points all around)
- Extended the midfield/river in 16 and changed the music
- Raised up the puddles in 18 so you don't get stuck as easily, as well as changed the music.
- 19 was extensively remodeled and the mid is considerably bigger
- Minor details changed on 20
- Same for 21
- 22 the roof got raised in the mid and around the base to make it more obvious where to go.

Personally, I'd love to see things like UDMF, PK3 support, 3DMidTex, a bigger subset of ACS and even 3D Floors. "

This stuff. Decorate is a novelty but might send odamex down the path of ghoultag. Cue Whiterabbit's "Why GVH was a good thing" comment.

Essentially you gotta ask what the overall goal of odamex is, and does adding something like decorate help fulfill it. Probably not.

Increased ACS compatibility would be excellent, especially global ACS that can be applied to all/most maps in a given DM pack, so modders can have fun and make fun modifiers like Pop a Cap (or kill the target), or even LMS, among other things.

Aside from that, being the lazy as fuck mapper I am, maybe change some of the stuff that causes the purple lines in textures. I think there is a certain w/h textures have to be, can't remember, but all I know is that other ports don't throw a huge purple line in the tex. Also supreme laziness: texture/flat interchangeability, meaning tx_start/end instead of patches/texture1 bullshit.

Took way too long to do this, but here is RC 1! Design to be paired with velocity I, i added mapinfo that changes the titles of the first veloctf.wad to not include the author names. If hosting both wads, this wad gets priority.

As always, if you have anything to say about the maps in any respect, I am open ears to suggestions and critique.

I think he sailed too far to the west and fell off the earth or something.

Also I haven't even seen Slyfox play odamex, so definitely we are looking to recruit some people, find Soulsucka on IRC or find me if he isn't around.

http://speedy.sh/BDp6z/beta7.zip just your average update. Gameplay wise, this version is pretty important I'd say, please leave me your comments if you could!

So, first tests and impressions were held on sunday, and unfortunately the move towards more "abstract" ideas did not go over as smoothly as I had hoped, but that doesn't mean to say all the maps were bad~

Heavenwraith seems to have produced another winner, some maps just need a little reforming/touch-ups and others were tossed. As a result of the testing, I've decided to go back to making what made the first velocity great: sheer intensity.

I'm hoping to get a new build out by this weekend for another round of testing.

Here's my first new offering, Decay Industries
