.SH NAME
default.cfg \- Chocolate Doom configuration file
.SH DESCRIPTION
.PP
\fIdefault.cfg\fR
is the configuration file for \fBchocolate-doom\fR(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, \fBchocolate-doom.cfg\fR.
.PP
\fIdefault.cfg\fR is normally stored in the user's home directory,
as \fI~/.local/share/chocolate-doom/default.cfg\fR. The path can be
overridden using the \fBXDG_DATA_HOME\fR environment variable (see the XDG
Base Directory Specification).
.PP
The \fBchocolate-setup\fR(6) tool provides a simple to use front-end
for editing \fIdefault.cfg\fR.

.SH 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 (").
.PP
For example:
.RS
.PP
integer_value 1
.br
integer_value2 1
.br
floating_point_value 4.2
.br
string_value "hello world"
.RE
.PP
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.
.PP
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".
