Zandronum appreciation thread

#1

Post by Catastrophe » Sun Apr 27, 2014 1:39 am

THIS THREAD IS THE DEDICATION TO THE GREATNESS THAT IS ZANDRONUM AS SEEN HERE

Image

DOWN WITH THE ODAMEX HEATHENS AND THEIR PRIMITIVE CO-OP SUPPORT.
Spoiler: 75 reasons why odamex sucks (Open)
1. Killed IDL
2. Basic functions of a doom port doesn't work(I.E. Coop)
3. Laggy people are OP as hell(you jitter, yet your aim is precise.)
4. There is absolutely nothing interestingly unique about it
5. Focuses too much on the "old school" theme, when no one gives a shit about that.
6. Choppy as fuck
7. Mouse movement is also retarded
8. Screen maximizing doesn't work
9. The scoreboard is retarded
10. Advertises on other ports(aka hex vulture going on newschool skulltag servers and advertising odamex lol)
11. No one plays it
12. More than half the players currently playing hate it
13. If you have a blank actor it shows fuckin marks, like its blank for a reason.
14. Aiming is retarded, if you play odamex for a week and go back to ZDM/ZD, you'll be the shittiest player alive
15. SoulSucka
16. Retarded old mapinfo system
17. There is no "playerbase"; people only play this shit if someone tells them to
18. Shitty ban system(tosen crashing idl game), way to go odamex.
19. The "ready" system is retarded, i thought this was old school doom, not quake
20. Way too gimmicky
21. This port is boring as FUCK
22. No one honestly has "fun", on the game... like zdaemon and st have their golden moments. This port doesnt.
23. When you start it up the first time its fucking 320 x 200 do you realize how tiny that is?
24. Bashes on "mods", when CTF itself is a mod.
25. To register on the forums your password must be 10+ letters have a captiitalized and uncapitalized letter with numbers in it as well. Not only that but you must "validate" with your email. WHY DOES IT NEED TO BE SO COMPLICATED ? HNNNNNNNNG
26. i can't see any of the servers when i refresh ide or odalaunch.
27. the odamex announcer is really bad, even worse than the zandronum default one.
28. rocket jumping is wierd on this port.
29. certain people who should never be allowed to play in any doom community (like kal foxis) aren't banned.
30. Even IDE isnt compatible with the latest odamex (shitty oda coding)
31. You are forced you use an even shittier odamex only launcher because ofa bove
32. Odalauncher rips off of the Zd server launcher in so many ways, too bad its shitty.
33. No sprees.(Yes they are helpful)
34. No combo-kills
35. Even older players hate it
36. You can sometimes miss pointblank shots, somehow.
37. People can shoot you behind walls!
38. Makes people do pointless stupid shit (ie nj moving to odamex, when it instantly failed the following week)
39. Font on console is retarded
40. Unnecessary 8bit sound effects during the announcements on possessive
41. No spawn sounds in certain maps
42. Downloader will freeze at a certain percent for wad downloads.
43. Adjustable lag compensation for what reason? Why can't the port calculate the best optimal compensation setting FOR YOU
44. Zdoom mouse is retarded
45. Too dark, even with gamma on high
46. Text size in-game isn't scalable in any way, making it hard to distinguish certain messages like obituaries and chat.
47. Hardly noticeable boarder flashing for flag pick ups, making it hard to notice you have the flag in a rush.
48. Flag symbols in CTF look the same.
49. The flags themselves are too big
50. dinosaur port
51. http://i.imgur.com/gt7Fe.jpg
52. Not even a finished port
53. Even ralphis himself is bored with what it has to offer
54. Barely offers anything
55. Very limited in mapping
56. Very limited in modding
57. Copied Zdaemon
58. isn't really "true" vanilla doom
59. Legion made it to the master bowl
60. On screen downloader is usually slow as fuck
61. No real clans except for UD
62. Any announcer I seem to use doesn't mention 'Red Flag Taken'
63. The red / blue flashing light around your screen when you have the flag isn't helpful, it's just annoying and distracts you.
64. This port makes south americans like like mini doom gods when infact half of them are shit and since odamex can't handle their lag they just ghost past you
65. I don't think i've ever seen a priv or pub ctf game in europe (yes this does matter)
66. Even legion almost won the masterbowl by lagging
67. No real clans but UD
68. It leeches off other ports
69. Very bad bulletpuffs
70. Hitscan blows, shots are more delayed than they should be
71. Plasma rifle sounds bugged
72. Plasma rifle BLOWS, it sucks compared to st and zandronum
73. Most, if not all projectiles suck in odamex
74. barely supports co-op
75. stole zdaemon.net for attention
ALL HAIL ZANDRONUM, PLEASE POST YOUR SUPPORT FOR THE GLORY OF THE MASTER PORT.

That chart keeps getting better and better.

Thank you based Zandronum. Who knows how far back into the dark ages of Doom we would have been today without you!

7. Mouse movement is also retarded
HAHA this is funny that water used mouse from odamex for his zan++, which will also in zan 2.0
Wrong, water used Zdoom's mouse code NOT odamex. There's a reason it didn't suck.

11. No one plays it
no, there is tons of ppl playing it
Lets check: Image
17. There is no "playerbase"; people only play this shit if someone tells them to
repeat point 11.
For extra emphasis that nobody plays it
44. Zdoom mouse is retarded
yes this is why ZAN 2.0 will use it :D
Odamex's zdoom mouse is literally vanilla mouse multiplied by 4 (or 8) just to emulate Zdoom. Zan 2.0 will use the latest Zdoom mouse rewrite which has raw input and everything.

Everything you said is dumb and stupid, Zandronum on top.

I like how Capo is the one who tries to defend Odamex so valiantly, only to further prove that it's a much inferior port to Zandronum and should never ever be spoken of. Forget Odamex, it doesn't exist, never did. It's a pile of shit which everyone should stay away from.

In short, gg no re Capo, you're the last person to even attempt to defend a shitty and obsolete port.
