Odamex offers server operators a variety of ways to maintain compatibility with vanilla Doom behavior or choose other types of behavior.

Boom Enhanced Behavior

Allow Dropoffs

This is a latched variable, and only takes effect after a map change.

Usage: co_allowdropoff (0-1)

When enabled, monsters can get pushed or thrusted off of ledges, like in Boom, ZDoom, and other modern engines. Disabled by default to maintain vanilla compatibility.

EXM8/MAP08 Full Volume Toggle

This is a latched variable, and only takes effect after a map change.

Usage: co_level8soundfeature (0-1)

When enabled, plays sounds at full volume (regardless of distance) on eXm8 or map08. Though enabling this cvar is default behavior for Doom, Odamex chooses to turn this off by default due to player input.

Real Actor Heights

Usage: co_realactorheight (0-1)

When enabled, players, monsters, and other solid objects will be able to pass over or under each other according to their defined pixel heights. When disabled, actors will be infinitely tall and not able to pass over or under each other. Disabled by default to maintain vanilla compatibility.

ZDoom Enhanced Behavior

ZDoom Physics

Usage: co_zdoomphys (0-1)

When enabled, Odamex will use ZDoom-based gravity and physics interactions. This is a feature commonly used with the "Capture The Flag" game mode.

ZDoom Switch Sound Origin

Usage: co_zdoomswitch (0-1)

When enabled, switch sounds attenuate with distance like plats and doors. When disabled, the sound of a resetting switch will always come from map coordinates (0,0) like vanilla Doom.

ZDoom Sound Curve

Usage: co_zdoomsoundcurve (0-1) When enabled, Odamex will use ZDoom's sound curve.
