Odamex is a modification of DOOM to allow players to compete with each other over the Internet using a client/server architecture. Thanks to the source code release of DOOM by id Software in December 1997, there have been many modifications that enhanced DOOM in various ways. These modifications are known as "source ports", as early modifications mainly ported DOOM to other platforms and operating systems such as Windows and Macintosh.

Odamex is based on the CSDoom 0.62 source code originally created by Sergey Makovkin, which is based on the ZDoom 1.22 source code created by Marisa Heit.

Odamex supports the following features:

  • Full Client/Server multiplayer architecture with network compensation features (unlagged, client interpolation and prediction)

Contributing to the project

Please report any oddity, physics inaccuracies, bugs or game-breaking glitches to our issues page. You can also submit patches as a Pull Request.

Before submitting a pull request, please make sure it follows our coding standards!

Note: This project contains a demo testing utility that ensures vanilla compatibility by running a specific set of demos after each commit. When forking this project to prepare a pull request, this functionality will be unavailable by default to protect sensitive files. You can restore this functionality by:

  1. Forking OdaTest-Resources to get the PWADs.
  2. Downloading OdaTests to get the encryption module.
  3. Replacing the encrypted IWADs with your own set of encrypted IWADs. Encrypt using python .\secret.py encrypt doom2 with the environment variable SECRET_KEY defined to encrypt the IWADs with. The following IWADs (latest version) are needed to run all tests: doom, doom1, doom2, tnt, plutonia, hacx
  4. Create a release for your forked OdaTest-Resources repo.
  5. Enter the following Secrets / Repository Variables in GitHub:
  • secrets.DEMOTESTER_IWAD_KEY - Encryption key for the IWADs
  • vars.DEMOTESTER_DOWNLOAD_URL - Full URL to download the latest OdaTests release.
  • vars.DEMORESOURCES_DOWNLOAD_URL - Full URL to download your personal demo resources
