doom compatibility
« on: October 25, 2006, 01:56:30 »
HOW compatible with vanilla doom will odamex be? Is it intended to be as-compatible-as-possible (like chocodoom?)?

A good compatibility test is this wad: http://doomgate.de/files/dgtc/dgtc.zip
It is a training wad for wallrunnimg, strafejumping and rocketjumping. Up to now, the jump across the third pit in this wad is only possible with vanilla DOS DOOM and Chocolate Doom. All other ports fail (Including Doom95(!)).
Could you please try it out? When you have any problems with the wad, please let me know. Unfortunately, the attached information is written in german, my native language...

Yes, odamex remains true to oldschool doom multiplayer, which is a higher priority than anything else.

But it also adds some newschool things, such as teamplay and capture the flag.

I also tested the wad and watched the demos with chocolate-doom.

everything but the rocket jumping seems to work, unless I was doing it wrong, fire against wall + backwards?

Does it not work even in prBoom compatability mode?

Can you submit an lmp that demonstrates the wad in action in DOS/Choco Doom?

Of course it works fine in PrBoom.

'Fire against the wall + backwards' is correct. But as I said,
only original DOS Doom and ChocoDoom can do this. In the meantime I've read that ODAMEX is loosely based on ZDoom 1.22, therfore it is clear, that I will not be able to perform this jump, because ZDoom can't, too....

But anyway. I am  looking forwards to seeing an new star on the doom port sky shining :-)

Does this mean that you really did the 3rd pit (Rocket jump) in dgtc.wad with PRBoom?

Umm, that's what I said.

The demos played back fine and I could do it myself easily.

Odamex is in active development. That means even if you have read something yesterday, the current featureset might already be different. As we strive for gameplay compatibility with vanilla, the inability to reproduce such a jump would be considered an open bug to be resolved. So it is not clear at all. Especially as your comment has been noticed by several members of the dev team...

Full DOOM2.EXE like gameplay (except for HUD, Video and such), Bumping, wallwunning, rocketjumping, pickups are menu sounds and such?
