How to report a bug

The Odamex Bug Tracker is an active list of issues. Look through the bugs to see if the bug you want to report is already listed. Please only post reproducible bugs, with steps to reproduce them.

What to include

For a crash, be sure to include debugger information, including the callstack. You need to detail exact steps to reproduce the crash. Including anything relevant, such as the wad, map, OS, compiler, and config. If the bug appears to be new and did not appear in a previous svn revision, it would also be helpful to determine which revision caused the bug. You may need to do regression testing to work this out and include the revision at which the bug was introduced.
