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, in ~/.chocolate-
doom/default.cfg.
The chocolate-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".
