NAME

       default.cfg - Chocolate Doom configuration file

DESCRIPTION

       default.cfg  is  the  configuration file for chocolate-doom(6).  The configuration options
       stored in the file are the same as those stored in the original DOS Vanilla  Doom.   Extra
       Chocolate   Doom-specific   options   are   stored   in  a  separate  configuration  file,
       chocolate-doom.cfg.

       default.cfg    is    normally    stored    in    the    user's    home    directory,    as
       ~/.local/share/chocolate-doom/default.cfg.    The   path   can  be  overridden  using  the
       XDG_DATA_HOME environment variable (see the XDG Base Directory Specification).

       The  chocolate-doom-setup(6)  tool  provides  a  simple  to  use  front-end  for   editing
       default.cfg.

FILE FORMAT

       The  file  is  a  plain-text file, consisting of a list of configuration options and their
       values, separated by whitespace.  Each option is stored on a separate line.  Options  have
       different types; an option may have either an integer, floating point or string value.  If
       the option is of a string type, the value is surrounded by quotes (").

       For example:

              integer_value                1
              integer_value2               1
              floating_point_value         4.2
              string_value                 "hello world"

       Invalid lines or comments in the file will be ignored, but it is advisable not to put them
       in  the file; the file is rewritten from scratch every time the game exits, so any invalid
       lines or comments will be lost.

       Some options are used for keyboard key  bindings;  these  are  stored  as  integer  values
       containing  the  keyboard  scan  code  of the key to be bound to.  Boolean values are also
       stored as integers, with a value of zero usually indicating "false" and a  non-zero  value
       indicating "true".
