crispy-heretic.cfg(5)

NAME
crispy-heretic.cfg - Crispy Heretic configuration file

DESCRIPTION

crispy-heretic.cfg is a configuration file for crispy-heretic(6). This file acts as an auxiliary configuration file; the main configuration options are stored in heretic.cfg, which contains the same configuration options as Vanilla Heretic (for compatibility). crispy-heretic.cfg contains configuration options that are specific to Crispy-Heretic only.

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

The crispy-heretic-setup(6) tool provides a simple to use front-end for editing crispy-heretic.cfg.

FILE FORMAT

The file format is the same as that used for heretic.cfg(5).

CONFIGURATION VARIABLES

video_driver
    Name of the SDL video driver to use. If this is an empty string, the default video driver is used.

window_position
    Position of the window on the screen when running in windowed mode. Accepted values are: "" (empty string) - don't care, "center" - place window at center of screen, "x,y" - place window at the specified coordinates.

fullscreen
    If non-zero, the game will run in full screen mode. If zero, the game will run in a window.

video_display
    Index of the display on which the game should run. This has no effect if running in windowed mode (fullscreen=0) and window_position is not set to "center".

aspect_ratio_correct
    If non-zero, the screen will be stretched vertically to display correctly on a square pixel video mode.

integer_scaling
    If non-zero, forces integer scales for resolution-independent rendering.

window_width
    Window width when running in windowed mode.

window_height
    Window height when running in windowed mode.

fullscreen_width
    Width for screen mode when running fullscreen. If this and fullscreen_height are both set to zero, we run fullscreen as a desktop window that covers the entire screen, rather than ever switching screen modes. It should usually be unnecessary to set this value.

fullscreen_height
    Height for screen mode when running fullscreen. See documentation for fullscreen_width.

force_software_renderer
    If non-zero, force the use of a software renderer. For use on systems lacking hardware acceleration.

max_scaling_buffer_pixels
    Maximum number of pixels to use for intermediate scaling buffer. More pixels mean that the screen can be rendered more precisely, but there are diminishing returns on quality. The default limits to 16,000,000 pixels, which is enough to cover 4K monitor standards.

startup_delay
    Number of milliseconds to wait on startup after the video mode has been set, before the game will start. This allows the screen to settle on some monitors that do not display an image for a brief interval after changing video modes.

graphical_startup
    If non-zero, display the graphical startup screen.

show_endoom
    If non-zero, the ENDOOM text screen is displayed when exiting the game. If zero, the ENDOOM screen is not displayed.

png_screenshots
    If non-zero, save screenshots in PNG format. If zero, screenshots are saved in PCX format, as Vanilla Doom does.

mouse_acceleration_y
    Vertical mouse acceleration factor. When the speed of mouse movement exceeds the threshold value (mouse_threshold), the speed is multiplied by this value.

mouse_threshold_y
    Vertical mouse acceleration threshold. When the speed of mouse movement exceeds this threshold value, the speed is multiplied by an acceleration factor (mouse_acceleration).

snd_samplerate
    Sound output sample rate, in Hz. Typical values to use are 11025, 22050, 44100 and 48000.

snd_cachesize
    Maximum number of bytes to allocate for caching converted sound effects in memory. If set to zero, there is no limit applied.

snd_maxslicetime_ms
    Maximum size of the output sound buffer size in milliseconds. Sound output is generated periodically in slices. Higher values might be more efficient but will introduce latency to the sound output. The default is 28ms (one slice per tic with the 35fps timer).

snd_pitchshift
    If non-zero, sound effects will have their pitch varied up or down by a random amount during play. If zero, sound effects play back at their default pitch.

snd_musiccmd
    External command to invoke to perform MIDI playback. If set to the empty string, SDL_mixer's internal MIDI playback is used. This only has any effect when snd_musicdevice is set to General MIDI output.

snd_dmxoption
    Value to set for the DMXOPTION environment variable. If this contains "-opl3", output for an OPL3 chip is generated when in OPL MIDI playback mode.

opl_io_port
    The I/O port to use to access the OPL chip. Only relevant when using native OPL music playback.

use_libsamplerate
    Controls whether libsamplerate support is used for performing sample rate conversions of sound effects. Support for this must be compiled into the program. If zero, libsamplerate support is disabled. If non-zero, libsamplerate is enabled. Increasing values roughly correspond to higher quality conversion; the higher the quality, the slower the conversion process. Linear conversion = 1; Zero order hold = 2; Fast Sinc filter = 3; Medium quality Sinc filter = 4; High quality Sinc filter = 5.

libsamplerate_scale
    Scaling factor used by libsamplerate. This is used when converting sounds internally back into integer form; normally it should not be necessary to change it from the default value. The only time it might be needed is if a PWAD file is loaded that contains very loud sounds, in which case the conversion may cause sound clipping and the scale factor should be reduced. The lower the value, the quieter the sound effects become, so it should be set as high as is possible without clipping occurring.

autoload_path
    Full path to a directory in which WAD files and dehacked patches can be placed to be automatically loaded on startup. A subdirectory of this directory matching the IWAD name is checked to find the files to load.

music_pack_path
    Full path to a directory containing configuration files for substitute music packs. These packs contain high quality renderings of game music to be played instead of using the system's built-in MIDI playback.

fsynth_chorus_active
    If 1, activate the FluidSynth chorus effects module. If 0, no chorus will be added to the output signal.

fsynth_chorus_depth
    Specifies the modulation depth of the FluidSynth chorus. Default is 5.0, range is 0.0 to 256.0.

fsynth_chorus_level
    Specifies the output amplitude of the FluidSynth chorus signal. Default is 0.35, range is 0.0 to 10.0.

fsynth_chorus_nr
    Sets the voice count of the FluidSynth chorus signal. Default is 3, range is 0 to 99.

fsynth_chorus_speed
    Sets the FluidSynth chorus modulation speed in Hz. Default is 0.3, range is 0.1 to 5.0.

fsynth_midibankselect
    This setting defines how FluidSynth interprets Bank Select messages. The default is "gs". Other possible values are "gm", "xg" and "mma".

fsynth_polyphony
    Sets the number of FluidSynth voices that can be played in parallel. Default is 256, range is 1 - 65535.

fsynth_reverb_active
    If 1, activate the FluidSynth reverb effects module. If 0, no reverb will be added to the output signal.

fsynth_reverb_damp
    Sets the amount of FluidSynth reverb damping. Default is 0.4, range is 0.0 to 1.0.

fsynth_reverb_level
    Sets the FluidSynth reverb amplitude. Default is 0.15, range is 0.0 - 1.0.

fsynth_reverb_roomsize
    Sets the room size(i.e. amount of wet) FluidSynth reverb. Default is 0.6, range is 0.0 - 1.0.

fsynth_reverb_width
    Sets the stereo spread of the FluidSynth reverb signal. Default is 0.4, range is 0.0 - 100.0.

fsynth_gain
    Fine tune the FluidSynth output level. Default is 1.0, range is 0.0 - 10.0.

fsynth_sf_path
    Full path to a soundfont file to use with FluidSynth MIDI playback.

timidity_cfg_path
    Full path to a Timidity configuration file to use for MIDI playback. The file will be evaluated from the directory where it is evaluated, so there is no need to add "dir" commands into it.

gus_patch_path
    Path to GUS patch files to use when operating in GUS emulation mode.

gus_ram_kb
