[quote author=Ladna link=topic=622.msg6361#msg6361 date=1330790381]<br />If IDL is gonna use new maps, we should priv on the new ones first for a good long time. This lets players get used to it, and it lets everyone formulate a solid opinion on the maps.<br />[/quote]<br /><br />This is a really good idea. But unfortunately, like many meritorious ideas, not all come to fruition in practice. Pardon me, that was more tounge-in-cheek than my forthcoming comments.<br /><br />I don&#039;t know about you, but I&#039;m personally fed up with ZDaemon&#039;s inferior handling of any connection mishaps. I&#039;ve not seen any corpses running around, invisible players, floating flags or carriers without flags. I&#039;d like to know more about what you say about firing stuff being lagged. Playing in Ralph&#039;s recent mock 1v1 tournaments I&#039;ve not experienced anywhere near the same baseline level of issues ZDaemon has and always will put forth. While I (and I presume other players who do not consistently ping 30-50 to servers) constantly struggle to &#039;adapt&#039; to what I would call unadaptable netcode in part or in full, Odamex fits like a glove at its current release. The only thing missing is inter/extrapolation of player movement and the betas Dr. Sean has put out apparently show that he&#039;s doing a good job on that. I can&#039;t testify myself, as I&#039;ve not messed with it.<br /><br />As for map conversion if need be (I believe all maps use the [url=http://doom.wikia.com/wiki/Capture_the_Flag#The_CTF_Standard]CTF standard[/url]??) and stats to an extent, that is more of a matter of selfishness on your part, I believe. We have users more than willing to help do what&#039;s required to any maps that are lacking upon 0.6&#039;s release and on top of that, we have golden, cherished souls like SoulSucka who are doing unparalleled stats compilations for the league.<br /><br />I would like to note that if we use ZDaemon, [b]you[/b] still have work to do on the site to correct stats counters. Not everything is comfortably in place as you would like to think. I also am 100% sure that maps [b]will[/b] be cut next season no matter the port chosen for IDL.<br /><br />I think it is, however, safe to say that 1.09 will not be part of the next IDL. Perhaps Odamex should also restrict 0.6 to certain hosts for an indefinite amount of time!
