* The Release *
In celebration of Odamex being used for QuakeCon 2013, the team has released Odamex version 0.6.4. This release will be very pleasing to the competitive crowd, as it adds in “raw mouse input†for windows users which should smooth out the mouse and make it more responsive when compared to the mouse input SDL was previously giving us. Additionally, more options are now available for rendering, including 4:3 rendering in widescreen via pillarboxing/letterboxing as well as the ability to uncap the framerate (though 35 fps is still default.)
Here have a list of notable changes:
+ Added vid_maxfps CVAR to allow frame rates greater than 35. Users can cap to an arbitrary frame rate or have completely uncapped frame rates. Interpolation between game logic states is used for frame rates other than 35.
- Removed r_widescreen CVAR.
+ Added vid_widescreen CVAR (default = 0) to indicate the user prefers a wide field-of-view.
+ Pillar boxing is used in place of horizontal stretching.
+ Letter boxing is used in 4:3 video modes with wide field-of-view.
* Fix the frame rate decrease that occurs when a player is looking directly at a very close wall and they are using a screen width that is a power-of-two (512, 1024, 2048, etc.).
* Fix obituaries for rocket deaths. The obituary for splash damage was swapped with the obituary for direct hits.
+ Add support for ZDoom in Doom format horizon lines (special #337).
+ Add support for the ZDoom DeHackEd weapon extensions "Ammo use" and "Min ammo" and "Ammo per shot" from Eternity.
* Change the ammo usage per shot for railguns to match "Ammo use" and change weapons if the railgun does not have "Min ammo". Note that if the DeHackEd patch that implements the railgun does not otherwise specify, the railgun will use the amount of ammo per shot as the weapon it replaces.
* Fix a bug that sent all team chat messages to spectators on the same team.
* Change the default color of team chat messages from green to orange.
* Fix freezes with maps requiring large numbers of TID, such as dvii-1u.wad MAP19.
* Fix a bug that would use the past position of the wrong player when performing reconciliation with sv_unlag under certain circumstances. This could be seen by flags dropping at the location of players besides the flag carrier in CTF.
* Auto detection for the Steam versions of The Master Levels of Doom II
