Getting Odamex Setup


Werge

Recommended Posts

Hey everybody, I've recently come back to Doom/Doom II after an 8 year break and I've completely forgotten how everything works. WADS etc.

 

I've installed ZDaemon and Zandronum and have got them working successfully, although I'm having trouble with Odamex. It displays all the servers as unavailable and I don't know how to host a game. Could somebody help me with this? A step-by-step instruction would be preffered, thanks!

You are using OdaLaunch, correct?

 

Have you looked at Oda's Wiki pages yet? Here is the one for OdaLaunch.

Hi! I imagine you're using DE or IDE? A new version of Odamex came out last week and some launchers do not support it yet. If you use the Odalaunch packed with Odamex you should see all available servers for that version.

Well, DE seemed to be included with ZDaemon and Zandronum. Is that not the case for Odamex?

DE is a third party launcher that supports all 3 source ports. The engines do come with their own first party launchers. Zandronum has Doomseeker, ZDaemon has ZLauncher, and Odamex has Odalaunch.

 

DE supports Zandronum, ZDaemon, and Odamex, but the current release supports Odamex 0.9.0. The newest Odamex is 10.0.0. Doomseeker comes with Zandronum but you can install an Odamex library to see Odamex and Chocolate Doom servers as well.

Update: It looks like a new version of DE came out RIGHT NOW that supports Odamex 10.0.0. If you restart DE, it should prompt you to download the new version
