I know you must be mad because I am KIND OF going back on my promise to run more CTF wads, but with the latest 0.6 preview can't you just taste how close that is? For those of you who have been hanging around IRC, you may have noticed that my much less attractive counterpart (that hex guy) is working on a very cool project that we hope to debut here soon. Until then, you'll have to put up with yet another one of my twisted Nitro picks, Dwango11.

Dwango11 is basically 20 different versions of doom2 map01 and then some other maps + REALLY KICKASS MIDIS. So yeah, let's do this thing!

WAD: Dwango11
Maps: 26 (01-03, 05, 07-08, 10-20, 22, 24-27, 29-32)
Mode: 14-Player DM
Fraglimit: 50
Server: CoffeeNet - DTX1 & MWI1
Date: Saturday, April 14th, 2012 @ 8pm EDT

See you there!

Coming up this week is a newly-released set of 20 old-school styled maps that, at the very least, will make you want to boil your sneakers and make soup out of your girlfriends panties. If it doesn't, then it ain't Obsidian DM.

WAD: obsdm
Maps: 20 (with 05, 08-10 at the end of the rotation)
Mode: 12-Player DM
Fraglimit: 50
Server: CoffeeNet - DTX1 & MWI1
Date: Saturday, March 31st, 2012 @ 8pm EDT

See you there!

30 weeks of Nitro!! Are you excited?! I'm excited! Time sure does fly around here. Oh yeah, and can't you tell how much I love the 32in24 mappacks? This is only the 900th time we've run one of them over here. Not to worry though, this one hasn't been played yet and wooooooowwwwww I can't wait to get in on this.

I also decided to once again throw the smaller maps at the back end of the rotation. They aren't bad maps, but the peak of every session is usually not at the end of a rotation :)

WAD: 32in24-5
Maps: 32 (with 01-03, 17, 27 at the end)
Mode: 14-Player DM
Fraglimit: 50

See you there!

Updated the thread with the wad link. Enjoy!

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.

I had a TDM tournament all planned out, with maps and everything.. IDL got in the way unfortunately. Perhaps this is a good place for it? Here's what I had planned:

2v2 TDM tournament with 8 teams. I believe I had a pool of 5 maps to choose from. The map process would be similar to ZDDL. Each team eliminates one map, and then plays for the best of 3. There's really not too much else to plan, except I'd have to dig up the 5 maps I had to see if, a few months removed from even thinking about it, they were good maps to play TDM on.

I can start this as soon as possible if there are some interested parties!

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..

WAD: Exec
Maps: 17 (map01-16, 31)
Mode: 12 player FFA
