+ | |||
+ | == Odamex 0.8.3 == | ||
+ | === Changes === | ||
+ | |||
+ | Odamex 0.8.3 was released on May 10, 2020. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ====Bug-Fixes ==== | ||
+ | - Improved support for international keyboard layouts | ||
+ | - Corrected multiple video and resolution bugs related to scaling | ||
+ | - Fixed issue with demo recordings where multiple map indexes were being written | ||
+ | - Bug fixes to weapon behavior in wads that utilize "ISLOBBY" (i.e. Duel2020OA.wad) | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==== Changes ==== | ||
+ | - Latest SDL2 and SDL2_Mixer libraries are now packaged with release | ||
+ | - CMake and compiler optimizations | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==== Additions ==== | ||
+ | - Added "Fullscreen Exclusive" mode as an available option in the vid_fullscreen. The other two existing modes were windowed and fullscreen borderless. Using Fullscreen Exclusive mode eliminates video lag (and a perceived mouse lag) introduced on systems running Windows 8 and Windows 10. | ||
+ | - Client now receives control of mouse when client is in console, menu, or alt+tabbed on Windows. This behavior mirrors Valve's Source engine games and is highly useful for users with more than one monitor. | ||
+ | |||
+ | == Odamex 0.8.2 == | ||
+ | === Changes === | ||
+ | |||
+ | Odamex 0.8.2 was released on April 4, 2020. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ====Bug-Fixes ==== | ||
+ | - Fix for teamscores updating during warmup | ||

+ | - Many fixes related to client stability regarding invalid stats, floor/ceiling height, and railgun crashes | ||
+ | - Fixed crash when loading a game when an Icon of Sin cube was in-flight | ||
+ | - Fixed cl_netgraph rendering out-of-bounds on small resolutions | ||
+ | - Fixed issues with actions triggered by multiple bound keys at the same time (bug 1282) | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==== Changes ==== | ||
+ | - Most arguments now automatically translate to lowercase, fixing many issues that may be a result from wrong case usage | ||
+ | - DeuTex is now used to build odamex.wad | ||
+ | - Removed classicdemo variable since it was never used | ||
+ | - Removed suicide spam and suicide during intermission | ||
+ | - Rewrote a loop in SV-WriteCommands(), making the server much more efficient | ||
+ | - Added further improvements to wad downloading by removing the constant check for MD5 hashes | ||
+ | - Increase number of steps adjusting snd_sfxvolume, snd_musicvolume, and snd_announcervolume to 64 | ||
+ | - "players" command now also includes the number of players when used | ||
+ | - Reverted the patch for bug 1105. No other multiplayer ports seem to support this behavior and it is not vanilla | ||
+ | - Removed cvars "dynres_state", "dynresval", "mouse_acceleration", "mouse_threshold" since they were rarely used and caused confusion amongst the players | ||
+ | - Removed cvar "mouse_type", we now only support the ZDoom mouse type since it was just a scaler for the Doom mouse type. Odamex will detect the users settings with the old cvar and update to the new settings automatically | ||
+ | - Removed "cl_rocketrails" because it was unused | ||
+ | - Removed "cl_unlag" and "sv_unlag". They are default behavior now | ||
+ | - Removed "rate" cvar. The client will now allow up to what the server allows with "sv_maxrate" | ||

+ | |||
+ | ==== Additions ==== | ||
+ | - Added confirmation messages for addmap and insertmap | ||
+ | - Added PAR times for The Flesh Consumed | ||
+ | - Updated FreeDoom to version 0.12.1 | ||
+ | - Added some feedback to the user warning them if their iwad is out of date (not version 1.9) | ||
+ | - Added back a few ZDoom/Hexen damage sectors | ||
+ | - Intermission now plays normally during episode end. Odamex no longer jumps straight to the next map upon exit | ||
+ | - Added the ability to spy by name (or closest to what the user keyed in) | ||
+ | - Added new vid_filter cvar to control display filtering; options are "nearest", "linear", "best", or "0", "1", "2", respectively | ||
+ | |||
+ | == Odamex 0.8.1 == | ||
+ | === Changes === | ||
+ | |||
+ | Odamex 0.8.1 was released on July 22, 2019. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ====Bug-Fixes ==== | ||
+ | - Fixed a crash when using maplist with no wads specified | ||
+ | - Fixed a crash that could happen if the WEAPON_RAISE state is called during the start of the demo | ||

+ | - Fixed some vanilla demo de-syncs | ||
+ | - Fixed some sectors not having the floor and ceiling textures updated in online mode | ||
+ | - Fixed being able to drown in god mode | ||
+ | - Fixed co_globalsound not working as intended | ||
+ | - Fixed a bug where the client would hear switch activating sounds when connecting to a server | ||
+ | - Fixed issue where many non-widescreen resolutions were getting stretched across the screen in fullscreen mode instead of having pillar-boxes (see: Added vid_pillarbox below) | ||
+ | - Fixed an SDL issue that resulted in potentially having different mouse sensitivity in windowed mode vs fullscreen mode | ||
+ | - Fixed vid_32bpp not refreshing the screen to re-enable 32bpp rendering | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==== Changes ==== | ||
+ | - The warm-up message now specifies which key needs to be pressed to "ready up" | ||
+ | - Removed obsolete code that would only update sectors every 3rd tic that could result in de-syncs | ||
+ | - Remove cl_updaterate since it is no longer used | ||
+ | - Remove update_rate from userinfo since it is no longer used | ||
+ | - In single-player mode the game will now pause if the console is on screen | ||
+ | - The client is now much better optimized for rendering transparency | ||
+ | - Modified some of the default binds to be more in alignment with modern shooter controls | ||
+ | - Bobbing is now disabled in spectator mode and flying and mouselook are on by default | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==== Additions ==== | ||
+ | - The server will now inform the user that the maplist was cleared | ||
+ | - Updated compatible versions of FreeDoom to include 0.10 to 0.11.2 | ||
+ | - Added sv_respawnsuper, which can enable and disable super power-ups like megasphere and invulnerability sphere | ||
+ | - Added "lobby" support to MAPINFO to allow players to create lobby maps | ||
+ | - Added sv_latency to simulate latency on the server. This command is intended for developers only and must be #defined in the source. | ||
+ | - Added hud_scoreboard_ondeath (default 1). This now allows us to hide the scoreboard on death. | ||
+ | - Added hud_demobar to now hide the progression bar during the playback of a demo | ||
+ | - Added hud_heldflag_flash to enable or disable the flashing that occurs with the flag hud in CTF | ||
+ | - Added options for filtering specific gamemode demos in the network settings | ||
+ | - Added Nintendo Switch support (no official release yet) | ||
+ | - Added vid_pillarbox, which will allow the user to stretch the picture to the full screen instead of using pillar-boxing in lower resolutions like 640x480 | ||
+ | - Added experimental server cvar "sv_download_test" (default 0). This is a change that will stop odasrv from constantly opening and closing a wad file for a user attempting to download. We are hoping this will stop lag spikes from | ||
+ | happening when multiple users are attempting to download a pwad, however it can only be tested with large crowds. If it works out the variable will be removed and it will be turned on permanently | ||
+ | |||
+ | == Odamex 0.8.0 == | ||

+ | - Remove the client cvar vid_winscale as it isn't implemented in Odamex or ZDoom | ||
+ | - Remove the (unused) client CVAR vid_defbits | ||
+ | - Remove 'Odamex' mouse type as it has not been an available option for a few years and renumber the 'ZDoom' mouse type from 2 to 1. Clients' configs are automatically updated | ||
+ | - Remove the cvar sv_speedhackfix because it has never worked as intended and having it as an option for server admins is a liability | ||

+ | - Add the -longtics command line parameter which can be used in conjunction with the -record parameter to record a LMP demo using the extended longtics format (16-bit yaw values). This behaves identically to the existing 'recordlongtics' console command | ||
+ | - Add the -shorttics command line parameter to quantize the yaw to 8 bits like a classic vanilla LMP demo. This can be used while not recording, though when recording, the recording parameters will take precedence (eg, recordlongtics console command will cause -shorttics to be ignored) | ||
+ | - Send CTF score updates to downloading clients | ||
+ | - Add a client debugging CVAR cl_forcedownload, which will force the client to download the last WAD file in the server's WAD list when connecting to a server even if the client already has that WAD file. Requires developer 1 and does not save to odamex.cfg | ||
+ | - New iwad detection of Freedoom 0.9, Freedoom2, FreeDM, and HACX 1.2 | ||

+ | = Odamex 0.7.X Series = | ||
+ | |||
+ | == Odamex 0.7.0 == | ||
+ | === Changes === | ||
+ | |||
+ | Odamex 0.7.0 was released on March 27, 2014. | ||
+ | |||
+ | -Fix a crash that occurred when WAD files are loaded during the screen-wipe and the "burn" screen-wipe type is selected. | ||
+ | -r_forceenemycolor and r_forceteamcolor cvars no longer have an effect for spectators since spectators are not considered members of a team. | ||
+ | -Fix a bug that created a shaking-effect if step-mode debugging was used with frame-rates > 35. | ||
+ | -Fix a bug that prevented the user from binding controls to mouse buttons from the options menu. | ||
+ | -Fix a crash that would occur if the operating system could not resolve the local host's IP address. | ||
+ | -Add cvar co_fixzerotags (disabled by default) to allow improperly tagged linedef specials (tag 0) to only affect the sector on the backside of the linedef. This prevents a ZDoom 1.22 bug that would affect adjoining sectors if the linedef special was triggered multiple times in a row. | ||
+ | -Fix being able to find registry keys for IWADs on 64-bit versions of Windows. | ||
+ | -Add color selection widgets to the display options menu for the cvars r_enemycolor and r_teamcolor. | ||
+ | -Add hud_crosshaircolor cvar to change the color of the crosshair and add a color selection widget to the display options menu. | ||
+ | -Clamp the range of the rate cvar for specifying the client's desired bandwidth. This prevents integer overflows if the user attempted to set the cvar to an extremely large value. The current range is from 7.0 to 2000.0. | ||
+ | -Fix a bug that dropped the flag at the map location (0, 0) if a player that was carrying the flag became a spectator. | ||
+ | -The pause key can now be used to pause a netdemo. | ||
+ | -Fix issues with server information not reaching launchers for certain servers due to oversized launcher response packets. | ||
+ | -Fix a bug that changed to the wrong weapon when the player attemped to change to weapon slot 3 while jumping. | ||
+ | -Fix crash that could occur when loading WAD files while a LMP demo is playing. | ||
+ | -Improved the speed of querying servers in OdaLauncher. | ||
+ | -Add kill/death ratio to server information in OdaLauncher. | ||
+ | -Add server search functionality in OdaLauncher. | ||
+ | -Add support for up to 65535 vertices in a map. | ||
+ | -Add support for up more than 65536 segs, subsectors and nodes in a map. | ||
+ | -Add support for the XNOD uncompressed ZDBSP extended node format. | ||
+ | -Fix a bug that causes the server to mis-identify DOOM1.WAD. | ||
+ | -Improve the identification of FreeDoom WAD files. | ||
+ | -Absolute paths are no longer necessary to specify to play a netdemo with the "netplay" console command if the netdemo is located in the default directory. The .odd file extension will also be automatically supplied if a user omits it. | ||
+ | -Remove the skin option from the player setup menu since skins have not been implemented and the option appearing in the menu leads to confusion. | ||
+ | -Make cheat codes case-insensitive. | ||
+ | -Fix a crash displaying the FreeDoom CREDIT patch. | ||
+ | -Fix toggling of latched cvars with the "toggle" client command. | ||
+ | -sv_gravity cvar and gravity changes in ACS now affect vanilla Doom physics (co_zdoomphys = 0). | ||
+ | -sv_splashfactor cvar now affects explosions with vanilla Doom physics (co_zdoomphys = 0). | ||
+ | -Fix sound effect attenuation on level 8 (co_level8soundfeature = 1) for both vanilla and ZDoom attenuation models (co_zdoomsoundcurve = 0 / 1). | ||
+ | -Remove snd_timeout cvar (unused). | ||
+ | -Fix sound effects cutting off incorrectly. This was particularly noticeable firing the plasma rifle. | ||
+ | -Only one CTF announcer sound will play at a time per team. | ||
+ | -Fix issues loading WAD files with filename extensions that were not all lowercase via the "wad" console command or a maplist. | ||
+ | -Fix the handling of raw lump files. | ||
+ | -Allow the use of the "kill" console command when playing coop (if sv_keepkeys cvar is disabled). | ||
+ | -Spectators no longer cycle back to their own POV with the "spyprev"/"spynext" console commands. Instead, spectators can get back to their own POV with the "spectate" console command. | ||
+ | -Screenshots are now in PNG format. | ||
+ | -Fix a crash that could occur if the map changes while there are sectors moving. | ||
+ | -Added 32-bit color rendering mode, set with the cvar vid_32bpp. | ||
+ | -Added SIMD optimizations for capable CPUs to increase the framerate in 32-bit color mode, controlled by the r_optimize cvar (enabled by default). | ||
+ | -Rendering engine rewritten for greatly increased visual accuracy. | ||
+ | -Fixes many rendering-related bugs such as sector height overflows, long linedefs appearing to jiggle, linedefs perpendicular to the screen appearing to jump. | ||
+ | -Updated Announcer | ||
+ | -Added cl_autoscreenshot: takes a screenshot at every intermission | ||
+ | |||
+ | = Odamex 0.6.X Series = | ||
+ | |||
+ | == Odamex 0.6.4 (r4064) == | ||
+ | === Changes === | ||
+ | |||
+ | Odamex 0.6.4 was released on August 4, 2013. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==== General/Major: ==== | ||
+ | - Added support for raw mouse input for Windows. This provides unaccelerated mouse input even when SDL is unable to (Windows Vista / 7 / 8). This is now the default for Windows users | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==== Bug-Fixes: ==== | ||
+ | - Fix an autoaim bug that ignored a client's cl_aimdist setting when using freelook | ||
+ | - 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 an additional small fix for a vanilla bug with co_blockmapfix enabled. Ignore the first entry in a block's list of lines, since it is not valid and typically is linedef 0 | ||
+ | - Fix CPU slowdowns when PortMidi tries to play a section of a MIDI song that has more than 100 events in the span of one tic (28ms) | ||
+ | - Fix a bug that sent all team chat messages to spectators on the same team | ||
+ | - 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 | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==== Changes: ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | - Removed r_widescreen CVAR (see: Added vid_widescreen CVAR below) | ||
+ | - Pillar boxing is used in place of horizontal stretching | ||
+ | - Letter boxing is used in 4:3 video modes with wide field-of-view | ||
+ | - 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. | ||
+ | - Change the default color of team chat messages from green to orange | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==== Additions: ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | - 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 | ||
+ | - Added vid_widescreen CVAR (default = 0) to indicate the user prefers a wide field-of-view | ||
+ | - Add the -timedemo commandline parameter to gauge rendering speed. The speed of the physics can be gauged by additionally including the -nodraw parameter. The impact of the screen blitting can be gauged with the additional -noblit parameter | ||
+ | - 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 | ||
+ | |||

+ | = Odamex 0.5.X Series = | ||
+ | |||
+ | == Odamex 0.5.6 (r2582) == | ||
+ | |||
+ | === Changes === | ||
+ | Odamex 0.5.6 was released on November 5th, 2011. | ||
+ | |||
+ | General Odamex Changes: | ||
+ | |||
+ | * Fixed a bug that disconnected players immediately from a busy server. | ||
+ | * Fixed a bug that caused jerky movement when players went over a tall ledge. | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | Odamex Client Changes: | ||
+ | * Fixed a bug preventing netdemos from playing if a single player game or vanilla demo had been started. | ||
+ | * Changed the default value of con_scrlock to enabled, which allows the console to be scrolled up without new console messages forcing the text to be scrolled to the bottom again. | ||
+ | * Fixed a small cosmetic issue with the alignment of sky textures taller than 200 pixels. | ||
+ | * Prevent autoaim from aiming at teams in CTF or Team DM games. | ||
+ | * Changed spectator chat to use the new team chat indicator sound. | ||
+ | * Added [[cl_updaterate]] (default: 2) to allow clients to specify how often they wish to receive updates of the positions of other players in the game. The default value of 2 implies the client would like to be updated every other tic, or 35 / 2 times a second. A value of 1 implies the client would like to be updated every tic, or 35 times a second. | ||
+ | * Mac OSX clients will now show a descriptive dialogue when Odamex quits due to an error. | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | Odamex Server Changes: | ||
+ | * Added [[sv_ticbuffer]] (disabled by default). Enabling sv_ticbuffer on the server will place incoming ticcmds into a buffer and process one ticcmd per gametic for each player instead of processing all the player's incoming ticcmds. The result is that the player's movement will skip less and appear "smoother" when there is network jitter. | ||
+ | * Added [[co_nosilentspawns]] (default: disabled) to provide an option to control Odamex's emulation of an original Doom bug which had the effect of not placing a spawn fog (and its accompanying noise) in front of a west-facing player as they spawn. Enabling co_nosilentspawns places the spawn fog in the proper location. | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | Odamex Launcher Changes: | ||
+ | * Fixed an issue where certain servers would not show in the launcher application. | ||

+ | * Addition of [[sv_forcerespawn]] and [[sv_forcerespawntimer]] for server controlled respawn times. | ||

+ | == Odamex 0.5.3 (r2284) == | ||
+ | Odamex 0.5.3 was released on June 24th, 2011. | ||
+ | === Features === | ||
+ | * Emulate vanilla Doom bug: respawning cube-spawned monsters at map location (0, 0). This should fix desync of 30nm4048.lmp | ||
+ | * Restored dead player's view following the actor who killed them. | ||
+ | |||
+ | === Bug Fixes === | ||
+ | * Sometimes players would make a death scream when switching to spectate. Fixed. | ||
+ | * Some video modes were duplicated under video mode options. Fixed. | ||
+ | * Fixed a crash that would occur when a client attempts to download a wad when the server had [[sv_waddownload]] disabled. | ||
+ | * Fixed trash information spamming the console when launching odamex from odalaunch under linux. | ||
+ | * Players would play the 'oomph' sound when they landed from jumping in place. Since this is probably vanilla behavior, this was edited for [[co_zdoomphys]] since it was particularly noticeable and annoying for CTF. | ||
+ | * Player death scream wouldn't be audible if the player respawned instantaneously. Fixed. | ||
+ | * Fixed issues with rightalt, rightctrl, and rightshift showing up as numbers. | ||
+ | * Reuse any thinker for a particular sector when opening a door like vanilla Doom. This fixes the demo desync with ep1-0500.lmp. | ||
+ | * Vanilla demos were parsing the demo type incorrectly, so altdeath demos would run in normal deathmatch. Fixed. | ||
+ | * Display names should only target living players. Fixed. | ||
+ | * -fork would crash. Fixed. | ||

+ | Odamex 0.5.2 was released on June 14th, 2011. | ||
+ | |||
+ | === Features === | ||
+ | * Much of the code is now shared between client and server. It is much more manageable and less desync prone | ||
+ | * Platforms are now much better optimized | ||
+ | * [[Co_boomlinecheck]]. Off by default, allows additional silent BFG tricks and the "oomph" sound on two-sided lines. | ||
+ | * The Hexen map format is now supported for experimental ZDoom compatibility. Several ZDoom 1.22 things work now, including zdoom water, gravity, physics, PIT_RadiusAttack (for rocket jumping), aircontrol, friction, bridge things, ambient sounds, and the earthquake. | ||
+ | * [[Co_realactorheight]] has been restored with EE's P_ThingInfoHeight. Off by default. | ||
+ | * Restored the original vanilla coop scoreboard. Uses the original player colors as well until we can get square coloring to work. It will show up if you are connected to a server with maxplayers < 5. | ||
+ | * Added UPnP. Automatically opens up the port on a UPnP compliant router. Toggled on server start with [[sv_upnp]]. | ||
+ | * Added -fork to control the PIDfile of a server. Defaults to doomsv.pid. | ||
+ | * Added [[co_zdoomswitches]] to flip between vanilla behavior (0) and a more advanced behavior whereby "switch sounds attenuate with distance like platforms and doors." | ||
+ | |||
+ | === Bug Fixes === | ||
+ | * Screenshots broke in 0.5.1 due to the directx transition. Fixed. | ||
+ | * Ag-odalaunch could not handle paths that had spaces in them on Xbox. Fixed. | ||
+ | * Items did not respawn in co-op despite [[sv_itemsrespawn]] being true. Fixed. | ||
+ | * Clients could be kicked for exceeding "netids" due to there being many projectiles. Not exactly fixed, but it should no longer kick clients. | ||
+ | * Several vanilla demo desyncs are fixed. | ||
+ | * Weapon changing desyncs are fixed. | ||
+ | * Sometimes you would see the flag while you carried it. Fixed. | ||
+ | * 320x200, 320x240, and 640x400 have been restored. Make sure to use r_detail 1 for them. | ||
+ | * Fix crashing when transitioning intermission > next level with certain pwads (occurs with gcc optimizations). | ||
+ | * Clients could be kicked with "szp pointer was NULL," randomly in games with many players. | ||
+ | * The CTF HUD display broke in 0.5.1. Fixed. | ||
+ | * Projectile sounds (Player and Monster) would play multiple times online. Fixed. | ||
+ | * Fixed the wrong light levels on some orthogonal linedefs. | ||
+ | * The marine death animation played too fast online. Fixed. | ||
+ | * Doors would play multiple sounds online. Fixed. Also Emulation of vanilla Doom bug where closing a blazing-door plays sounds twice in a row and blazing-door will play the slow-door's sound when it re-opens has been fixed. | ||
+ | |||
+ | === Notables === | ||
+ | * Xbox chat macros have been modifed. See README.Xbox. | ||
+ | * [[Co_zdoomphys]] is off by default. Remember, Odamex aims for Vanilla compatibility and mechanics. | ||
+ | * Gravity defaults to 800 on ZDoom maps, same as ZDoom default. | ||
+ | * [[Co_zdoomphys]] will always be 0 when playing back vanilla demos. | ||

Odamex 0.8.X Series
Odamex 0.8.3
Changes
Odamex 0.8.3 was released on May 10, 2020.
Bug-Fixes
- Improved support for international keyboard layouts - Corrected multiple video and resolution bugs related to scaling - Fixed issue with demo recordings where multiple map indexes were being written - Bug fixes to weapon behavior in wads that utilize "ISLOBBY" (i.e. Duel2020OA.wad)
Changes
- Latest SDL2 and SDL2_Mixer libraries are now packaged with release - CMake and compiler optimizations
Additions
- Added "Fullscreen Exclusive" mode as an available option in the vid_fullscreen. The other two existing modes were windowed and fullscreen borderless. Using Fullscreen Exclusive mode eliminates video lag (and a perceived mouse lag) introduced on systems running Windows 8 and Windows 10. - Client now receives control of mouse when client is in console, menu, or alt+tabbed on Windows. This behavior mirrors Valve's Source engine games and is highly useful for users with more than one monitor.
Odamex 0.8.2
Changes
Odamex 0.8.2 was released on April 4, 2020.
Bug-Fixes
- Fix for teamscores updating during warmup - Fix color translations after changing teams - Fixed a collision error with players of differing heights when co_realactorheight was enabled - Fixes for vanilla demo desyncs - Fixed some cases where client demo settings would override the server settings - Fixed singleplayer losing inventory after map change - Fixed bug 1278: sector scroll speeds. Also reimplemented LS_Scroll_Floor - Fixed weapon offset by 1 - Many fixes related to client stability regarding invalid stats, floor/ceiling height, and railgun crashes - Fixed crash when loading a game when an Icon of Sin cube was in-flight - Fixed cl_netgraph rendering out-of-bounds on small resolutions - Fixed issues with actions triggered by multiple bound keys at the same time (bug 1282)
Changes
- Most arguments now automatically translate to lowercase, fixing many issues that may be a result from wrong case usage - DeuTex is now used to build odamex.wad - Removed classicdemo variable since it was never used - Removed suicide spam and suicide during intermission - Rewrote a loop in SV-WriteCommands(), making the server much more efficient - Added further improvements to wad downloading by removing the constant check for MD5 hashes - Increase number of steps adjusting snd_sfxvolume, snd_musicvolume, and snd_announcervolume to 64 - "players" command now also includes the number of players when used - Reverted the patch for bug 1105. No other multiplayer ports seem to support this behavior and it is not vanilla - Removed cvars "dynres_state", "dynresval", "mouse_acceleration", "mouse_threshold" since they were rarely used and caused confusion amongst the players - Removed cvar "mouse_type", we now only support the ZDoom mouse type since it was just a scaler for the Doom mouse type. Odamex will detect the users settings with the old cvar and update to the new settings automatically - Removed "cl_rocketrails" because it was unused - Removed "cl_unlag" and "sv_unlag". They are default behavior now - Removed "rate" cvar. The client will now allow up to what the server allows with "sv_maxrate" - Removed "cl_predictlocalplayer" cvar. It is now always enabled
Additions
- Added confirmation messages for addmap and insertmap - Added PAR times for The Flesh Consumed - Updated FreeDoom to version 0.12.1 - Added some feedback to the user warning them if their iwad is out of date (not version 1.9) - Added back a few ZDoom/Hexen damage sectors - Intermission now plays normally during episode end. Odamex no longer jumps straight to the next map upon exit - Added the ability to spy by name (or closest to what the user keyed in) - Added new vid_filter cvar to control display filtering; options are "nearest", "linear", "best", or "0", "1", "2", respectively
Odamex 0.8.1
Changes
Odamex 0.8.1 was released on July 22, 2019.
Bug-Fixes
- Fixed a crash when using maplist with no wads specified - Fixed a crash that could happen if the WEAPON_RAISE state is called during the start of the demo - Fixed a bug where palette and blending would not be updated during intermission - Fixed active moving sectors getting stuck when switching from in-game to spectator mode - Fixed the alt key getting stuck on Windows when moving in and out of the Odamex window with tab - Fixed some vanilla demo de-syncs - Fixed some sectors not having the floor and ceiling textures updated in online mode - Fixed being able to drown in god mode - Fixed co_globalsound not working as intended - Fixed a bug where the client would hear switch activating sounds when connecting to a server - Fixed issue where many non-widescreen resolutions were getting stretched across the screen in fullscreen mode instead of having pillar-boxes (see: Added vid_pillarbox below) - Fixed an SDL issue that resulted in potentially having different mouse sensitivity in windowed mode vs fullscreen mode - Fixed vid_32bpp not refreshing the screen to re-enable 32bpp rendering
Changes
- The warm-up message now specifies which key needs to be pressed to "ready up" - Removed obsolete code that would only update sectors every 3rd tic that could result in de-syncs - Remove cl_updaterate since it is no longer used - Remove update_rate from userinfo since it is no longer used - In single-player mode the game will now pause if the console is on screen - The client is now much better optimized for rendering transparency - Modified some of the default binds to be more in alignment with modern shooter controls - Bobbing is now disabled in spectator mode and flying and mouselook are on by default
Additions
- The server will now inform the user that the maplist was cleared - Updated compatible versions of FreeDoom to include 0.10 to 0.11.2 - Added sv_respawnsuper, which can enable and disable super power-ups like megasphere and invulnerability sphere - Added "lobby" support to MAPINFO to allow players to create lobby maps - Added sv_latency to simulate latency on the server. This command is intended for developers only and must be #defined in the source. - Added hud_scoreboard_ondeath (default 1). This now allows us to hide the scoreboard on death. - Added hud_demobar to now hide the progression bar during the playback of a demo - Added hud_heldflag_flash to enable or disable the flashing that occurs with the flag hud in CTF - Added options for filtering specific gamemode demos in the network settings - Added Nintendo Switch support (no official release yet) - Added vid_pillarbox, which will allow the user to stretch the picture to the full screen instead of using pillar-boxing in lower resolutions like 640x480 - Added experimental server cvar "sv_download_test" (default 0). This is a change that will stop odasrv from constantly opening and closing a wad file for a user attempting to download. We are hoping this will stop lag spikes from happening when multiple users are attempting to download a pwad, however it can only be tested with large crowds. If it works out the variable will be removed and it will be turned on permanently
Odamex 0.8.0
Changes
Odamex 0.8.0 was released on January 25, 2018.
General/Major:
- SDL2 Support - Video Abstraction - Moved from SVN to GitHub - Automatic crash dump generated on Windows for client and server - AppVeyor build support - Replace deprecated Mac API - Numerous optimizations and bug fixes - Many crashes are now fixed - Optimizations to iwad identification - Optimizations to wad downloading
Bug-Fixes
- Fix screenshots - Draw the crosshair last, prevents it from being covered up by weapons - Fix weapon bob issues - Tweaked automap drawing and text printing - Fix railguns activating hitscan triggered line specials. We want to remain consistent with ZDoom - Fix "bumpgamma" cmd in 32bpp color mode - Odalaunch optimization - Fixed a bug regarding 2-key SR50. (Thanks to RjY!) - co_globalsound makes player pickup sounds global for all players - Fixed bouncing as flying spectator - Fix mouse movement issues with shorttics - Numerous vanilla demo recording fixes and improvements - Fixed issue with player colors. Improvements to forced player colors - Non-qwerty keyboards should now function correctly; other keyboard corrections and fixes - Spy mode now displays keys people have on COOP mode
Changes:
- r_drawplayersprites is now a ranged cvar, 0 to 1 with 0.1 increments. Allows for semi-transparent HUD weapon - co_boomlinecheck and co_boomsectortouch are merged together and are now co_boomphys - Merge co_zdoomswitches and co_zdoomsoundcurve into co_zdoomsound - Merge co_fixzerotags into co_zdoomphys - Remove co_level8soundfeature. If co_zdoomsound is on or it's a multiplayer non-coop game, do not use it - Remove r_detail as it is replaced by vid_320x200 and vid_640x400 - Remove the client cvar vid_winscale as it isn't implemented in Odamex or ZDoom - Remove the (unused) client CVAR vid_defbits - Remove 'Odamex' mouse type as it has not been an available option for a few years and renumber the 'ZDoom' mouse type from 2 to 1. Clients' configs are automatically updated - Remove the cvar sv_speedhackfix because it has never worked as intended and having it as an option for server admins is a liability - Remove the cvar sv_antiwallhack because it has never worked as intended and having it as an option for server admins is a liability - Remove unused cvar sv_maxlives - New color options for text messages in the display menu. - Reimplement server CVAR sv_emptyfreeze (disabled by default) - Remove mouse_driver CVAR. Raw mouse input is always used in SDL2 - Removed classic Doom CTF status bar - Various improvements on game consoles - snd_samplerate is now default 44100, but can be changed as low as 22050.
Additions:
- Add cvars vid_320x200 and vid_640x400, which create 320x200 and 640x400 drawing surfaces and stretches them to the entire window to emulate vanilla Doom rendering - New console code. Color translate the CONCHARS font red when loading so that color translation can be performed - Add the -longtics command line parameter which can be used in conjunction with the -record parameter to record a LMP demo using the extended longtics format (16-bit yaw values). This behaves identically to the existing 'recordlongtics' console command - Add the -shorttics command line parameter to quantize the yaw to 8 bits like a classic vanilla LMP demo. This can be used while not recording, though when recording, the recording parameters will take precedence (eg, recordlongtics console command will cause -shorttics to be ignored) - Send CTF score updates to downloading clients - Add a client debugging CVAR cl_forcedownload, which will force the client to download the last WAD file in the server's WAD list when connecting to a server even if the client already has that WAD file. Requires developer 1 and does not save to odamex.cfg - New iwad detection of Freedoom 0.9, Freedoom2, FreeDM, and HACX 1.2 - Add cvar sv_dmfarspawn, which causes players in deathmatch mode to be (re)spawned at the farthest deathmatch spot away from all the other players - Add cl_serverdownload to client. Enables/disables wad downloading from server - Add cl_downloaddir to client. Sets a download directory with priority above other directories (Thanks to cSc!) - Add incoming/outgoing network traffic in cl_netgraph - Respect nojump/freelook MAPINFO commands. - Replace medikit icon with berserk icon on ZDoom HUD, if it is picked up - Add another option to cl_predictsectors. Value of "2" will only predict sectors activated by you.
Odamex 0.7.X Series
Odamex 0.7.0
Changes
Odamex 0.7.0 was released on March 27, 2014.
-Fix a crash that occurred when WAD files are loaded during the screen-wipe and the "burn" screen-wipe type is selected. -r_forceenemycolor and r_forceteamcolor cvars no longer have an effect for spectators since spectators are not considered members of a team. -Fix a bug that created a shaking-effect if step-mode debugging was used with frame-rates > 35. -Fix a bug that prevented the user from binding controls to mouse buttons from the options menu. -Fix a crash that would occur if the operating system could not resolve the local host's IP address. -Add cvar co_fixzerotags (disabled by default) to allow improperly tagged linedef specials (tag 0) to only affect the sector on the backside of the linedef. This prevents a ZDoom 1.22 bug that would affect adjoining sectors if the linedef special was triggered multiple times in a row. -Fix being able to find registry keys for IWADs on 64-bit versions of Windows. -Add color selection widgets to the display options menu for the cvars r_enemycolor and r_teamcolor. -Add hud_crosshaircolor cvar to change the color of the crosshair and add a color selection widget to the display options menu. -Clamp the range of the rate cvar for specifying the client's desired bandwidth. This prevents integer overflows if the user attempted to set the cvar to an extremely large value. The current range is from 7.0 to 2000.0. -Fix a bug that dropped the flag at the map location (0, 0) if a player that was carrying the flag became a spectator. -The pause key can now be used to pause a netdemo. -Fix issues with server information not reaching launchers for certain servers due to oversized launcher response packets. -Fix a bug that changed to the wrong weapon when the player attemped to change to weapon slot 3 while jumping. -Fix crash that could occur when loading WAD files while a LMP demo is playing. -Improved the speed of querying servers in OdaLauncher. -Add kill/death ratio to server information in OdaLauncher. -Add server search functionality in OdaLauncher. -Add support for up to 65535 vertices in a map. -Add support for up more than 65536 segs, subsectors and nodes in a map. -Add support for the XNOD uncompressed ZDBSP extended node format. -Fix a bug that causes the server to mis-identify DOOM1.WAD. -Improve the identification of FreeDoom WAD files. -Absolute paths are no longer necessary to specify to play a netdemo with the "netplay" console command if the netdemo is located in the default directory. The .odd file extension will also be automatically supplied if a user omits it. -Remove the skin option from the player setup menu since skins have not been implemented and the option appearing in the menu leads to confusion. -Make cheat codes case-insensitive. -Fix a crash displaying the FreeDoom CREDIT patch. -Fix toggling of latched cvars with the "toggle" client command. -sv_gravity cvar and gravity changes in ACS now affect vanilla Doom physics (co_zdoomphys = 0). -sv_splashfactor cvar now affects explosions with vanilla Doom physics (co_zdoomphys = 0). -Fix sound effect attenuation on level 8 (co_level8soundfeature = 1) for both vanilla and ZDoom attenuation models (co_zdoomsoundcurve = 0 / 1). -Remove snd_timeout cvar (unused). -Fix sound effects cutting off incorrectly. This was particularly noticeable firing the plasma rifle. -Only one CTF announcer sound will play at a time per team. -Fix issues loading WAD files with filename extensions that were not all lowercase via the "wad" console command or a maplist. -Fix the handling of raw lump files. -Allow the use of the "kill" console command when playing coop (if sv_keepkeys cvar is disabled). -Spectators no longer cycle back to their own POV with the "spyprev"/"spynext" console commands. Instead, spectators can get back to their own POV with the "spectate" console command. -Screenshots are now in PNG format. -Fix a crash that could occur if the map changes while there are sectors moving. -Added 32-bit color rendering mode, set with the cvar vid_32bpp. -Added SIMD optimizations for capable CPUs to increase the framerate in 32-bit color mode, controlled by the r_optimize cvar (enabled by default). -Rendering engine rewritten for greatly increased visual accuracy. -Fixes many rendering-related bugs such as sector height overflows, long linedefs appearing to jiggle, linedefs perpendicular to the screen appearing to jump. -Updated Announcer -Added cl_autoscreenshot: takes a screenshot at every intermission
Odamex 0.6.X Series
Odamex 0.6.4 (r4064)
Changes
Odamex 0.6.4 was released on August 4, 2013.
General/Major:
- Added support for raw mouse input for Windows. This provides unaccelerated mouse input even when SDL is unable to (Windows Vista / 7 / 8). This is now the default for Windows users
Bug-Fixes:
- Fix an autoaim bug that ignored a client's cl_aimdist setting when using freelook - 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 an additional small fix for a vanilla bug with co_blockmapfix enabled. Ignore the first entry in a block's list of lines, since it is not valid and typically is linedef 0 - Fix CPU slowdowns when PortMidi tries to play a section of a MIDI song that has more than 100 events in the span of one tic (28ms) - Fix a bug that sent all team chat messages to spectators on the same team - 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
Changes:
- Removed r_widescreen CVAR (see: Added vid_widescreen CVAR below) - Pillar boxing is used in place of horizontal stretching - Letter boxing is used in 4:3 video modes with wide field-of-view - 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. - Change the default color of team chat messages from green to orange
Additions:
- 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 - Added vid_widescreen CVAR (default = 0) to indicate the user prefers a wide field-of-view - Add the -timedemo commandline parameter to gauge rendering speed. The speed of the physics can be gauged by additionally including the -nodraw parameter. The impact of the screen blitting can be gauged with the additional -noblit parameter - 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

Odamex 0.5.X Series
Odamex 0.5.6 (r2582)
Changes
Odamex 0.5.6 was released on November 5th, 2011.
General Odamex Changes:
- Fixed a bug that disconnected players immediately from a busy server.
- Fixed a bug that caused jerky movement when players went over a tall ledge.
Odamex Client Changes:
- Fixed a bug preventing netdemos from playing if a single player game or vanilla demo had been started.
- Changed the default value of con_scrlock to enabled, which allows the console to be scrolled up without new console messages forcing the text to be scrolled to the bottom again.
- Fixed a small cosmetic issue with the alignment of sky textures taller than 200 pixels.
- Prevent autoaim from aiming at teams in CTF or Team DM games.
- Changed spectator chat to use the new team chat indicator sound.
- Added cl_updaterate (default: 2) to allow clients to specify how often they wish to receive updates of the positions of other players in the game. The default value of 2 implies the client would like to be updated every other tic, or 35 / 2 times a second. A value of 1 implies the client would like to be updated every tic, or 35 times a second.
- Mac OSX clients will now show a descriptive dialogue when Odamex quits due to an error.
Odamex Server Changes:
- Added sv_ticbuffer (disabled by default). Enabling sv_ticbuffer on the server will place incoming ticcmds into a buffer and process one ticcmd per gametic for each player instead of processing all the player's incoming ticcmds. The result is that the player's movement will skip less and appear "smoother" when there is network jitter.
- Added co_nosilentspawns (default: disabled) to provide an option to control Odamex's emulation of an original Doom bug which had the effect of not placing a spawn fog (and its accompanying noise) in front of a west-facing player as they spawn. Enabling co_nosilentspawns places the spawn fog in the proper location.
Odamex Launcher Changes:
- Fixed an issue where certain servers would not show in the launcher application.

Odamex 0.5.3 (r2284)
Odamex 0.5.3 was released on June 24th, 2011.
Features
- Emulate vanilla Doom bug: respawning cube-spawned monsters at map location (0, 0). This should fix desync of 30nm4048.lmp
- Restored dead player's view following the actor who killed them.
Bug Fixes

- Fixed trash information spamming the console when launching odamex from odalaunch under linux.
- Players would play the 'oomph' sound when they landed from jumping in place. Since this is probably vanilla behavior, this was edited for co_zdoomphys since it was particularly noticeable and annoying for CTF.
- Player death scream wouldn't be audible if the player respawned instantaneously. Fixed.
- Fixed issues with rightalt, rightctrl, and rightshift showing up as numbers.
- Reuse any thinker for a particular sector when opening a door like vanilla Doom. This fixes the demo desync with ep1-0500.lmp.
