Technical Support / The CoffeeNet Network [DTX1] & [MWI1]

« on: January 21, 2012, 23:42:58 »

I realized that new people might not know a lot about our community so I might as well make a thread!

CoffeeNet hosts two servers for Odamex. One of them is located in Dallas, Texas and is called DTX1. Another is located in Madison, Wisconsin and is called MWI1. Both servers are full time dedicated DOOM servers. They are freely available to play on by anyone at any time. My servers are mostly Deathmatch-oriented, but I host a little bit of co-op as well.

Despite only myself (HeX9109) and MiX-MaN having server access, there are a few people that also have RCON:
Dr_Sean
HumanBones
Ralphis

If you are interested in having a server slot with your own RCON, feel free to contact MiX-MaN on his IRC network. If you have any questions regarding what is already hosted, feel free to send me a private message or post here.

Have a lovely day :)

« on: January 05, 2012, 13:39:56 »

What better way to start the new year off with a Nitro hosting a wad designed to kick start the competitive Odamex community? We decided to host odactfmp because it contains the best maps from every other map pack SO HEY WHY NOT.

Oh and manual flag return will be on also. If you have not experienced CTF with manual return yet... you don't know what fun you're missing!!!

In honor of Doom's birthday this Saturday, we're going to dedicate this Nitro to a little project aimed to recreate the mapping style and feeling of the original Doom. When you get your shiny new copy of Doom The Way id Did, you can play it classic deathmatch-style right here on Odamex!

Nitro Zone / Nitro #16 - Odactf2012 CTF

« on: December 02, 2011, 20:44:15 »

ALRIGHT. THIS IS IT. Odactfmp is going to be Nitro. I stayed up ALL NIGHT fixing it up and making it perfect, and I am very happy with the final result. I hope you all enjoy it.

Odactfmp (known previously as odactf2012) is 32 of the best CTF maps ever made compiled into one map pack and not only modified to work in Odamex, but to include new skies, music, and pimped out odamex-rocking textures. I'd personally like to thank Infurnus, Wartorn, Catoptromancy, and Ralphis for their work on the project. The wad is a HEAVILY modified IDL2012. Several maps were replaced and unused content was removed to reduce the size of the wad for those of you that use the in-game downloader.

WAD: Odactfmp
Maps: 32 (1-32)
Mode: 5vs5 CTF
Server: CoffeeNet

Nitro Zone / Nitro #15 - 32in24-8 Dwango2008 FFA

« on: November 25, 2011, 13:33:59 »

OK. I promise promise promise PROMISE we will have a CTF again soon. I'm working on finishing Odactf2012 and I really want to have it for next nitro BUT NO PROMISES.

So what then? Well we've been having a lot of 32in24 and Dwango lately so lets mix it up... Dwango2008 it is! This is definitely one of my favorite 32in24s. It takes the original IWAD maps and mixes them up for a perfect deathmatch experience!

Maps, Wads and Mods / Re: Odactf2012

« on: November 14, 2011, 01:18:10 »

More like a "Here is what I'm doing to expect it soon" post. If you want to make a map though, I wouldn't mind adding a map33. Just make sure its in Hexen format but uses no more than BOOM. Also only textures from idl2012.

Maps, Wads and Mods / Odactf2012

« on: November 13, 2011, 01:01:39 »

Alright, so I'm going to take IDL2012 and do some stuff with it to make it odactf2012. What am I gonna do? Well...

1) Replace the maps that don't work in Odamex with ones that do. Some maps are already remade so that slopes are replaced with stairs (example: map08 from classic CTF) so I can use those.
2) Replace the OGG music. As much as I love Ralphis' selection it just isn't friendly with wad downloading. I am either going to:
a) Replace it with midi/mus music or
b) Have no music and leave it to mus wads
3) Replace the graphics to be Odamex/IDL oriented. Also try to trim out any unused content to lighten the wad up.

Luckily most of the maps work, so I only need to replace a few:

map04 -> osctfmp map05
map06 -> 32in24-4 map01
map07 -> classicctf map07 (zdctf07 with slopes replaced)
map08 -> classicctf map08 (zdctf08 with slopes replaced)
map11 -> Fixed map11 (slopes to stairs)
map18 -> odactf1 map02
map19 -> Fixed map19 (slopes to stairs)
map20 -> odactf1 map07
map23 -> zdectfmp map02 (older version of Ganon castle)
map28 -> modified to fix stupid ACS switch that could have easily been an exe switch.
map29 -> odactf1 map04

I am open for suggestions. These maps are really just "extra maps" that are compatible with Odamex and I feel are the best bet for maps that didnt already make the cut for idl2012. Hopefully I can get this done soonish. :)

Nitro Zone / Nitro #11 - 32in24-11 ALPHA Deathmatch

« on: October 26, 2011, 19:31:15 »

Last week's Nitro was awesome. Bones informed me that a lot of people showed up and the server was packed for about 2 and a half hours... not bad at all!

This week, the Odamex Nitro staff has teamed up with YEDS to do something special. This Saturday, we're testing the alpha version of 32in24-11, a wad composed of maps made in 24 hours. These maps are made by mappers new and old, skilled and unskilled, from various parts of the DOOM community. We are using this Nitro to not only play the maps, but to test them as well. The following Sunday the team will improve the maps for us to play next week. Thanks Shaikoten for giving us this opportunity!

This Nitro is going to be the best one yet or your money back guaranteed! ALSO YOU NEED TO HAVE ODAMEX 0.5.5 WHICH WILL BE POSTED SOON
WAD: 32in24-11_beta
Maps: 45 (1-45)

Devoblog / Odamex 0.5.3 Released

« on: June 24, 2011, 14:44:38 »

Due to a bug in the server that the development team found after the release of 0.5.2, here is 0.5.3. While this is technically just a maintenance release, it does have some pretty cool changes alongside the server fix. A list of changes and downloads can be found on the Releases page.

Otherwise, you know where to get the download. ITS RIGHT ABOVE YOU.

Devoblog / Odamex 0.5.2 Released!

« on: June 15, 2011, 00:01:33 »

Its that time again, release time!

First of all I think we should thank the newest Odamex developer, Dr_Sean. Sean showed up from nowhere and started fixing bugs like nobody's mama's business. As a result of his hard work Odamex is looking fantastic thanks to several fixes regarding things like orthogonal linedef lights, death frames, and multiple sounds played with projectiles.

Odamex is now more stable than ever. Several crashes such as changing resolutions on certain servers, and being kicked from games via the "SZP pointer null" bug have been fixed. Russell and Ladna were also hard at work and made sector prediction MUCH smoother. Additionally, all of the bugs that crept up between 0.5.0 and 0.5.1 due to the directx video change have been fixed.

Another grand feature with this release is experimental ZDoom support! Odamex now has Hexen map format, ZDoom water, real actor height, aircontrol, earthquakes, rocket jumping, and other cool ZDoom 1.22/1.23 stuff.
Do not fret oldschoolers: all ZDoom effects are 100% server toggleable. With the new cvar co_zdoomphys, you can disable or enable zdoom behavior. Odamex is the first and only port to do this!

So grab Odamex 0.5.2 and kill your friends today!

Devoblog / Updates and Stuffs

« on: March 08, 2011, 18:14:31 »

I'm tired of this site being dead and the first thing I see on the front page being "Damnit," so here are some updates as to what the heck is going on!

First of all Manc is not gone. In fact he has been hard at work implementing some pretty cool things into Odamex. Russell has also been bending his brain around sectors and recently implemented a new patch that makes them about 99.9% smooth and sexy. With these features and a recent reimplementation of the classic DOOM scoreboard for 4 or less players, expect to see 0.5.2 out pretty soon and 0.6 out within the next few months. Oh and upnp support too!
Also don't forget to check out Odamex Nitro! We play games of Odamex at 11 p.m. CST. We haven't been playing lately due to lack of organization but that doesn't mean we're done with it. Recently we had a server with a pretty good number of people thanks to Unidoom! Neat!

So yeah Odamex is fine. People are coding for it and people are playing. We are still in need of a lead developer and could always use some help implemting features and squashing bugs. If you want to help Odamex be sure to hang out in #odamex on OFTC to see where you can start. Also people seem to be discouraged by not seeing people playing on the server list; don't be! There are plenty of Odamex players willing to play in #odamex and in #altdeath on QuakeNet. Don't be shy to ask for a game!

General Discussion / Re: Odamex No LAN Connectivity!!!

« on: February 06, 2011, 13:45:14 »

Servers take a while to show up on the master. When using IDE, you can set "localhost" as a server by going into the OPTIONS tab and going to "Custom Servers" from there hit "Add" and hit the "localhost" button. After that hit apply.

If that fails, simply launch Odamex, open the console, and type "connect localhost"

General Discussion / Odamex Nitro!

« on: January 17, 2011, 00:26:13 »

Lately at night, I and several other players have been playing games of Odamex for fun. I have decided to resurrect Odamex Sunday Nitro as...wait for it... ODAMEX NITRO!

Thats right! EVERY NIGHT we will be playing games of Odamex. What will be played? Well whatever the hell we feel like! Be sure to hang out in #odamex to chill during the wait for the game to start...or just start playing!

There is no server dedicated for Odamex Nitro. We literally decide what to play when the event begin and jump into a server. It will normally be standard Deathmatch but expect some Team DM and CTF to be played too :)

The best part? EVERYBODY is invited to these games, and we encourage you to come!

Games start around 11'O'Clock Central Standard Time. BE SURE TO JOIN #ODAMEX OR LOOK FOR PLAYERS IN ODALAUNCH/DOOMSEEKER/IDE!

Thanks to everyone that comes!!!
