Odamex Pwad Compatibility List

(1/4) > >>

NobodyHere:
Hello.

In light of recent posts, I thought it'd be a good idea to start a thread on Odamex's pwad (player made wad) compatibility. Once there are enough pwads listed, maybe someone could even make a compilation pack?

Useful info could include.

- Odamex (Xbox) version
- Pwad name
- Pwad version
- Episodes/Maps changed
- Link to pwad
- Iwad required (DOOM.WAD, DOOM2.WAD, freedoom.wad, etc.)
- Minimum port requirement - Vanilla (doom.exe/doom2.exe), BOOM, PrBoom, ZDoom, etc...
- Any issues encountered.

I'd prefer only listing what does work, and whether it's with/without issues. I suppose marking pwads that should run based on their requirements, but don't, could also be useful.

For all items I'm adding to this list, here's what I'm personally specifying.

The pwad title will be colored for easy scanning of the thread.

Example Title; (Green) = Works, without any detected issues.
Example Title; (Yellow) = Works, with minor issues.
Example Title; (Orange) = Loads, but has major game breaking issues.
Example Title; (Red) = Doesn't load, or crashes immediately.

Vanguard;

Odamex: 0.5.4
Iwad: Doom2, or Freedoom equivalent
Port: BOOM compatible
Changes: 13 new maps starting from Map01
Issues: None encountered
Link: http://www.doomworld.com/idgames/?id=16463

Personally, I found this set to be very fast paced, with a higher difficulty than the standard Doom 2 maps. The scenery was nice (for Doom2), and varied. There is an (expected) extended load time at the beginning of each level, in comparison to the default levels,  due to them being more graphically varied.



Fragport;

Odamex: 0.5.4
Iwad: Doom2, or Freedoom equivalent
Port: Vanilla compatible (ZDoom skies available)
Changes: 32 new maps starting from Map01
Issues: None encountered
Link: http://www.doomworld.com/idgames/?id=16436

Okay, I guess. The difficulty is higher than the standard Doom 2 maps, with large open levels in most cases. Fast, twitchy, run-n-gun players may do well with this. The graphics are standard Doom fare, with nothing remarkable to mention.



The City of the Damned;

Odamex: 0.5.4
Iwad: Doom2, or Freedoom equivalent
Port: ZDoom (2.0 or higher)
Changes: 1 'large' new map starting from Map01
Issues: None encountered
Link: http://www.doomworld.com/idgames/?id=12577

Difficulty is tailored to Doom veterans.

Try it. I don't think you'll be disappointed.

Hyper_Eye:
Chex Quest is recognized as an iwad by Odamex. You could name your chex3.wad to chex.wad and it will appear in the iwad list. You are right in that it has issues. If you use the regular chex.wad + chex.deh you will find that Chex Quest works great in Odamex. Obviously that doesn't include the added third episode.
