Odamex 0.7.0

Changes

View full changelog above for more a more in-depth look.


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 0.5.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

  • 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.

  • 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.

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.

Notables

  • Co_zdoomphys is off by default. Remember, Odamex aims for Vanilla compatibility and mechanics.
