Is it inappropriate to make requests here?
One thing I don't like is the Xbox controller handling. For some reason, turning seems to 'jump' in increments. Turning down the x-axis sensitivity of the Xbox controller only slows the turning speed down, but the problem persists. When rotating left, or right, with the stick often results in incrementally jumping past targets.
I often have to rely of strafing, which seems to be without issue, to properly align a target. In enclosed spaces this can be a game ender.
I have to assume you are talking about the deadzone and not the movement itself as the movement is smooth. Any joystick implementation has to include a deadzone as the analog sticks are rarely positioned at 0. Someone who has not implemented joystick before may be surprised by the typical size of the deadzone that has to be used. The Odamex launcher takes the deadzone into account when considering how much to move the cursor. That is necessary as the user needs tight accuracy when manipulating a cursor. The game itself does not remove the deadzone from the movement speed. This is something that could be considered as a potential improvement. You will know if this is the issue by pushing the stick slowly until movement occurs. You will be able to see how fast the player is turning or moving immediately outside the deadzone.

One other thing is, would it be possible to have a simple text file, containing CLI parameters, that could be loaded with a wad? I don't have a keyboard, and there are many pwads that require that you start on levels other than the first.
The ultimate answer for this issue, chat, cheats, etc. is a software on-screen keyboard. It is something I definitely want to do. In the meantime you can get around this particular problem by creating shortcuts in XBMC that launch the game client (odamex.xbe) right into a wad with appropriate parameters for the map and other options.
Look at the XBMC4XBox wiki here:
