Odamex 0.6 is finally here! After many months of testing, you can finally enjoy all of the new features of Odamex 0.6 on public servers. Rather than run down the huge list of changes in paragraph form here, here are links to the abbreviated changelog, complete changelog, and the actual svn changelog. In addition to these change logs, there were a number of video previews of Odamex 0.6 which can be seen on Odamex's Youtube Page.

Some of the obvious highlights of this release are the addition of slopes, an advanced voting system, a brand new netdemo format, aesthetic improvements, optimized mouse input, and numerous network enhancements. However, these are simply some of the most notable additions and only scratch some of the changes that have occured going into Odamex 0.6.


As always, we would like to remind our users that the Odamex project thrives off of user input, particularly when it comes to resolving bugs in the engine. As we've approached this major version over the last few months, dozens of players have pushed their time and resources into ensuring the success of Odamex 0.6. We at the Odamex team want to thank you for your continued and unwavering support. You have played a serious role in shaping this release and we hope that you are as proud as we are! This is only the beginning.


We encourage everyone who wishes to continue their support to take a moment and sign up for the Odamex Bug Tracker. This has been one of our most valuable tools in development of Odamex and is our number one resource when it comes to determining our direction. If you come across something odd or broken in Odamex 0.6 that is not already listed or resolved in the tracker, please submit as much information as you can! Our project relies on the input of our average users.

it's the compilation wad of compilation wads! What I really like about this is how the maps from each of the different wads flow together. Some compilation wads are just thrown together and don't make a lot of sense, but this feels like it could actually have been released as a single project.

WAD: DarkGoth
Maps: 22 (02-04, 07-10, 12, 14, 16-18, 20-21, 23, 25-30, 32-33)

See you there!

Change of plans, I was silly and I didn't realize that Odamex did not have keycard support for CTF. Not a big deal, we'll just stick with the same author and give you another dose of deathmatch!
