.TH default.cfg 5 .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, in \fI~/.chocolate-doom/default.cfg\fR. .PP The \fBchocolate-setup\fR(6) tool provides a simple to use front-end for editing \fIdefault.cfg\fR. .br .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". @content .SH SEE ALSO \fBchocolate-doom\fR(6), \fBchocolate-doom.cfg\fR(5), \fBchocolate-setup\fR(6)
