NAME

       crispy-doom - historically compatible Doom engine

SYNOPSIS

       crispy-doom [OPTIONS]

DESCRIPTION

       Crispy  Doom  is  a  port  of Id Software's 1993 game "Doom" that is designed to behave as
       similar to the original DOS version of Doom as is possible.

       -extraconfig <file>
              Load additional configuration from the specified file, instead of the default.

       -file <files>

              the file will be inserted into the command line replacing this argument. A response
              file can also be loaded using the abbreviated syntax '@filename.rsp'.

       -savedir <directory>
              Specify a path from which to load and save games. If the directory does  not  exist
              then it will automatically be created.

       -af <files>
              Simulates the behavior of NWT's -af  option,  merging  flats  into  the  main  IWAD
              directory.  Multiple files may be specified.

       -as <files>
              Simulates  the  behavior  of  NWT's  -as option, merging sprites into the main IWAD
              directory.  Multiple files may be specified.

       -deh <files>
              Load the given dehacked patch(es)

       -doubleammo
              Double ammo pickup rate. This option is not allowed when recording a demo,  playing
              back a demo or when starting a network game.

       -merge <files>
              Simulates  the  behavior  of  deutex's  -merge option, merging a PWAD into the main
              IWAD.  Multiple files may be specified.

       -mergedump <file>
              [crispy] experimental feature: in conjunction with -merge <files> merges PWADs into
              the main IWAD and writes the merged data into <file>

              files. [crispy] load DEHACKED lumps by default, but allow overriding

              of  each  level,  the  player's  health is reset to 100, their armor to 0 and their
              inventory is reduced to the following: pistol, fists and 50 bullets. This option is
              not  allowed  when recording a demo, playing back a demo or when starting a network
              game.

DEMO OPTIONS

              format - record demos as vanilla would do, and play back demos as vanilla would do.

       -timedemo <demo>
              Play back the demo named demo.lmp, determining the framerate of the screen.

COMPATIBILITY

       -donut <x> <y>
              Use  the  specified  magic values when emulating behavior caused by memory overruns
              from improperly constructed donuts. In Vanilla Doom this can  differ  depending  on
              the  operating system.  The default (if this option is not specified) is to emulate
              the behavior when running under Windows 98.

       -gameversion <version>
              Emulate a specific version of Doom.  Valid values are "1.2", "1.666", "1.7", "1.8",
              "1.9", "ultimate", "final", "final2", "hacx" and "chex".

       -pack <pack>
              Explicitly  specify  a  Doom  II  "mission pack" to run as, instead of detecting it
              based on the filename. Valid values are: "doom2", "tnt" and "plutonia".

       -setmem <version>
              Specify DOS version to emulate for NULL pointer dereference  emulation.   Supported
              versions  are:  dos622,  dos71,  dosbox. The default is to emulate DOS 7.1 (Windows
              98).

       -spechit <n>
              Use the specified magic value when emulating spechit overruns.

       -statdump <filename>
              Dump statistics information to the specified file on the levels that  were  played.
              The  output  from this option matches the output from statdump.exe (see ctrlapi.zip
              in the /idgames archive).

OBSCURE AND LESS-USED OPTIONS

       -cdrom [windows only] Save configuration data and savegames in c:\doomdata, allowing  play
              from CD.

       -dumpsubstconfig <filename>
              Read  all  MIDI  files  from  loaded  WAD files, dump an example substitution music
              config file to the specified filename and quit.

       -mb <mb>
              Specify the heap size, in MiB (default 16).

       -mmap  Use the OS's virtual memory subsystem to map WAD files directly into memory.

       -nogui If specified, don't show a GUI window for error messages when the game  exits  with
              an error.

IWAD SEARCH PATHS

       To  play,  an  IWAD  file  is  needed.  This is a large file containing all of the levels,
       graphics, sound effects, music and other material that make up the game.  IWAD  files  are
       named according to the game; the standard names are:

       doom.wad, doom1.wad, doom2.wad, tnt.wad, plutonia.wad
              Doom, Doom II, Final Doom

       heretic.wad, heretic1.wad, hexen.wad, strife1.wad
              Heretic, Hexen and Strife (commercial Doom engine games).

       hacx.wad, chex.wad
              Hacx and Chex Quest - more obscure games based on the Doom engine.

       freedm.wad, freedoom1.wad, freedoom2.wad
              The Freedoom open content IWAD files.

       The following directory paths are searched in order to find an IWAD:

       Current working directory
              Any IWAD files found in the current working directory will be used in preference to
              IWADs found in any other directories.

       DOOMWADDIR
              This environment variable can be set to contain a path to  a  single  directory  in
              which  to  look for IWAD files. This environment variable is supported by most Doom
              source ports.

       DOOMWADPATH
              This  environment  variable,  if  set,  can  contain  a  colon-separated  list   of
              directories  in  which  to  look  for  IWAD  files,  or alternatively full paths to
              specific IWAD files.

       $HOME/.local/share/games/doom
              Writeable directory in the user's home directory. The path can be overridden  using
              the XDG_DATA_HOME environment variable (see the XDG Base Directory Specification).

       /usr/local/share/doom, /usr/local/share/games/doom, /usr/share/doom,
              /usr/share/games/doom  System-wide locations that can be accessed by all users. The
              path /usr/share/games/doom is a standard path that is supported by most Doom source
              ports.  These  paths can be overridden using the XDG_DATA_DIRS environment variable
              (see the XDG Base Directory Specification).

       The above can be overridden on a one-time basis by using the -iwad command line  parameter
       to provide the path to an IWAD file to use. This parameter can also be used to specify the
       name of a particular IWAD to use  from  one  of  the  above  paths.  For  example,  '-iwad
       doom.wad' will search the above paths for the file doom.wad to use.

ENVIRONMENT

       This section describes environment variables that control Crispy Doom's behavior.

       DOOMWADDIR, DOOMWADPATH
              See the section, IWAD SEARCH PATHS above.

       PCSOUND_DRIVER
              When running in PC speaker sound effect mode, this environment variable specifies a
              PC speaker driver to use for sound effect playback.  Valid options are "Linux"  for
              the  Linux console mode driver, "BSD" for the NetBSD/OpenBSD PC speaker driver, and
              "SDL" for SDL-based emulated PC speaker playback (using the digital output).

       OPL_DRIVER
              When using OPL MIDI playback, this environment variable specifies  an  OPL  backend
              driver  to  use.   Valid  options  are "SDL" for an SDL-based software emulated OPL
              chip,  "Linux"  for  the  Linux  hardware  OPL  driver,  and  "OpenBSD"   for   the
              OpenBSD/NetBSD hardware OPL driver.

              Generally speaking, a real hardware OPL chip sounds better than software emulation;
              however, modern machines do not often include one. If present, it may still require
              extra work to set up and elevated security privileges to access.

FILES

       $HOME/.local/share/crispy-doom/default.cfg
              The main configuration file for Crispy Doom.  See default.cfg(5).

       $HOME/.local/share/crispy-doom/crispy-doom.cfg
              Extra  configuration  values  that  are  specific to Crispy Doom and not present in
              Vanilla Doom.  See crispy-doom.cfg(5).
