Chocolate Doom is a Doom source port which aims to behave as closely
|
|
as possible to the original DOS Doom executables.
|
|
|
|
Chocolate Doom aims to:
|
|
|
|
* Be compatible with DOS Doom demos
|
|
* Be compatible with DOS Doom configuration files
|
|
* Be compatible with DOS Doom savegames
|
|
* Be compatible with DOS Doom bugs
|
|
* Provide the same "feel" as DOS Doom (display and input should behave
|
|
the same)
|
|
* As far as possible, provide all the same features that are available
|
|
using the DOS version.
|
|
|
|
== Setting up gameplay ==
|
|
|
|
For instructions on how to set up Chocolate Doom for play, see the
|
|
INSTALL file.
|
|
|
|
== Configuration File ==
|
|
|
|
Chocolate Doom is compatible with the DOS Doom configuration file
|
|
(normally named 'default.cfg'). Existing configuration files for DOS
|
|
Doom should therefore simply work out of the box. However, Chocolate
|
|
Doom also provides some extra settings. These are stored in a
|
|
separate file named 'chocolate-doom.cfg'.
|
|
|
|
The configuration can be edited using the chocolate-setup tool.
|
|
|
|
== Command-line options ==
|
|
|
|
For a complete list of command-line options, see the CMDLINE file.
|
|
|
|
== Playing TCs ==
|
|
|
|
With Vanilla Doom there is no way to include sprites in PWAD files.
|
|
Chocolate Doom's '-file' command line option behaves exactly the same
|
|
as Vanilla Doom, and trying to play TCs by adding the WAD files using
|
|
'-file' will not work.
|
|
|
|
Many Total Conversions (TCs) are distributed as a PWAD file which must
|
|
be merged into the main IWAD. Typically a copy of DEUSF.EXE is
|
|
included which performs this merge. Chocolate Doom includes a new
|
|
option, '-merge', which will simulate this merge. Essentially, the
|
|
WAD directory is merged in memory, removing the need to modify the
|
|
IWAD on disk.
|
|
|
|
To play TCs using Chocolate Doom, run like this:
|
|
|
|
chocolate-doom -merge thetc.wad
|
|
|
|
Here are some examples:
|
|
|
|
chocolate-doom -merge batman.wad -deh batman.deh vbatman.deh (Batman Doom)
|
|
chocolate-doom -merge aoddoom1.wad -deh aoddoom1.deh (Army of Darkness Doom)
|
|
|
|
== Other information ==
|
|
|
|
* More information, including information about how to play various
|
|
classic TCs, is available on the Chocolate Doom website:

You are encouraged to sign up and contribute any useful information
|
|
you may have regarding the port!
|
|
|
|
* Chocolate Doom is not perfect. Although it aims to accurately
|
|
emulate Vanilla Doom, some of the behavior of Vanilla Doom can be
|
|
very difficult to reproduce. Because of the nature of the project,
|
|
you may also encounter Vanilla Doom bugs; these are intentionally
|
|
present; see the NOT-BUGS file for more information.
|
|
|
|
New bug reports can be submitted to the Chocolate Doom bug tracker
|
|
on Sourceforge. See:

|
guidelines - see the file named HACKING included with the source
|
|
distribution.
