Section 1: Introduction

1.1 What is Odamex?

Odamex is a modification of DOOM to allow players to compete with each other
over the Internet using the client/server architecture. Odamex also provides
a feature-rich single-player engine.

Please see the general README provided with Odamex for a thorough description
of Odamex and its features.

1.2 Xbox Features at a Glance

 * Supports all online game modes and features that are available on other
 	platforms
 * Game launcher with server browser and solo launcher with wad selector
 * Multiple wad search paths can be configured
 * Complete analog Xbox controller support with configurable axis assignments,
 	turn sensitivity, optional freelook, and configurable button bindings
 * Support for USB mouse and keyboard
 * Saved games and configuration files are stored in UDATA and TDATA paths so
 	they integrate properly with the official memory manager as well as
 	homebrew dashboards complete with icons
 * Saved games can be deleted using the memory manager
 * Saved games can be copied to and from a memory card
 * Vanilla 320x200 resolution, multiple SDTV resolutions including 480i, and
 	HDTV resolutions up to 720p are supported

===============================================================================

Section 2. Installation

2.1 - Requirements

Odamex requires a modded Xbox in order to operate.

2.2 - Installation - binary download

Binary downloads of Odamex are not available from odamex.net or any site
associated with The Odamex Team. Because Odamex is built with the official
XDK binary builds cannot be provided.

2.3 - Installation - source download

If you are interested in the bleeding edge development of Odamex, you can
access the SVN at http://odamex.net/svn/root with anonymous read access. Be
warned however that it might be incompatible with current release versions,
and stability is not guaranteed.

The following libraries are required:

	* SDLx (http://svn.huntsvegas.org/wsvn/SDLx)

Additionally the launcher also requires SDLx and the following libraries:

	* pthreads-Xbox (http://svn.huntsvegas.org/wsvn/pthreads-xbox)
	* Agar (http://www.libagar.org)

Building the Odamex and AG-Odalaunch source for Xbox requries the use of the
Microsoft Xbox Software Development kit (a.k.a XDK). You must be a Microsoft
approved Xbox developer to gain access to the required software.

===============================================================================

===============================================================================

Section 4: Issues

4.1 - TODO

 * Virtual (On-Screen) Keyboard
 * Configurable overscan in launcher
 * Rumble
 * Use a DVD as a wad source
 * Further optimization (Improve 720p performance)

4.2 - Known Issues

 * The game currently cannot be launched from a DVD. This is hampered by a bug
	that is very difficult to debug.
 * Controller events are not received in the launcher while the master list is
	being queried or a complete server list refresh is taking place. Joystick
	events are disabled during these tasks because of a mutex issue or race
	condition that results in a freeze before processing the final queried
	server. The cursor can be moved with a mouse during these tasks.
 * The "Query Master On Start" launcher option does not work. It might be that
	the Xbox network controller takes a little longer to initialize but I
	don't really know at this point.
 * You must hit A inside the main launcher window before you can use B to
 	activate a focused widget. This is due to a window focus issue.
 * The version of SDLx used with Odamex supports 1080i but 1080i has been
 	disabled in the library as it is not currently usable in Odamex. Selecting
	1080i results in unplayable framerate and likely a crash when the system
	runs out of memory.
 * SDLx reports all 4 joystick ports as active regardless of whether or not a
 	joystick is plugged in. If the active joystick selection is changed to a
	port that does not have a joystick plugged in control may be lost and a
	reboot is required or the selection must be changed with a keyboard.

4.3 - Bug Reporting

Section 5: Frequently Asked Questions

Q. How do I communicate with other players?
A. Currently there is no way to insert text using the Xbox controller. Xbox
	players can communicate by either plugging in a USB keyboard or by using
	chat macros. A virtual keyboard is a planned feature.

Q. How do the chat macros work?
A. While in a multiplayer game push either "Say" (default: D-Pad Up) or
	"Team Say" (default: D-Pad Right). You can then insert a macro by
	pushing D-Pad Up + the macro button that corresponds to the message
	you wish to insert. For example, to say "Hi" to everyone in the game
	you would press D-Pad Up and then D-Pad Up + A.

	The default macros on Xbox are as follows:

	A - "Hi."
	B - "I'm ready to kick butt!"
	X - "Help!"
	Y - "GG"
	White - "Yes"
	Black - "No"
	Left Trigger - "I'll take care of it."
	Right Trigger - "Come here!"
	Start - "Thanks for the game. Bye."
	Back - "I am on Xbox and can only use chat macros."

Q. How can I customize the chat macros?
A. You will need to manually change them in your odamex.cfg file.
	To do this perform the following steps:

	1) Launch the Odamex game client from the launcher (a solo game is fine)
	2) Quit Odamex using the game menus (turning off the power without
		quitting will discard configuration changes.)
	3) Quit the launcher and return to your dashboard.
	4) FTP into the machine or use another method of accessing the file system.
	5) Copy E:\TDATA\4f444d58\odamex.cfg to your computer.
	6) Open odamex.cfg in an editor.
	7) Find the "chatmacro" options and change them as desired (note the order
		as they correspond to controller buttons above.)
	8) Save the file.
	9) Copy odamex.cfg back to E:\TDATA\4f444d58\odamex.cfg

Q. How do I change my player name without a keyboard?
A. You will need to manually change the setting for your player name in
	your odamex.cfg file. To do this perform the following steps:

	1) Launch the Odamex game client from the launcher (a solo game is fine)
	2) Quit Odamex using the game menus (turning off the power without
		quitting will discard configuration changes.)
	3) Quit the launcher and return to your dashboard.
	4) FTP into the machine or use another method of accessing the file system.
	5) Copy E:\TDATA\4f444d58\odamex.cfg to your computer.
	6) Open odamex.cfg in an editor.
	7) Find the "cl_name" option and change the name to your desired handle.
	8) Save the file.
	9) Copy odamex.cfg back to E:\TDATA\4f444d58\odamex.cfg

Q. What is required to use a keyboard and/or mouse?
A. A simple USB-to-Xbox adapter will work. These can be easily obtained
	from online stores and auction sites for little cost. A device with a
	cable modified to use an Xbox safety release cable will also work.

Q. Is it safe to try all the resolutions listed in the resolution list?
A. SDLx scales all resolutions to 640x480 except for 720x480 and 1280x720.
	Only resolutions that are supported by the AV pack and system settings
	are shown.

Q. I have a widescreen television but the 720x480 options isn't available?
A. In your Xbox system video settings select "Wide Screen" or "Letterbox".

Q. I have an HDTV and the HDTV AV Pack but the 1280x720 (720p) option isn't
	available?
A. In your Xbox system video settings enable the 720p HDTV resolution.

Section 6: Acknowledgements

This port would not be possible without the contributions and assistance of
many people. The following especially deserve to be mentioned.

 * Undead of Team Assembly - Undead donated 2 Xbox debug kits that proved
	to be instrumental in the development of the libraries that Odamex
	depends on as well as Odamex itself. HUGE thanks to him for his
	kind donation!

 * Vedge of Hypertriton, Inc. (Developer of Agar) - Agar is a critical
	piece that serves as the cross-platform GUI toolkit behind AG-Odalaunch.
	Vedge provided assistance and knowledge as well as bug fixes and feature
	enhancements that directly benefited the Xbox and the development of
	AG-Odalaunch. He also trusted me with commit access so that I could
	more efficiently get code changes into Agar. Thanks for not getting
	annoyed while I flooded the channel with my thoughts, inquiries, and
	general ramblings.

 * Sirlemonhead - Sirlemonhead helped get me set up for development and I
 	e-mailed him with questions and ideas on many occasions. Also, he made
	the AvP port and nobody can thank him enough for that.

 * weinerschnitzel - Provided testing and feedback throughout development.

 * ldotsfan - Bouncing Xbox development tricks back and forth with him has
	been both an enjoyable and educational experience and I look forward
	to more of the same.

 * Likklebaer - Thanks for your role in Doom-X and for sharing your experience.
