psdoom-ng is based on Chocolate Doom and psDooM code bases. psDooM
|
||
|
|
was based on xdoom. Chocolate Doom's engine was chosen for several
|
||
|
|
reasons. psdoom-ng was ment to be a lightweight process killer
|
||
|
|
comparable to 2D versions of process management. Chocolate Doom uses
|
||
|
|
SDL which makes it compatible with Windows, MacOS. We hope to port
|
||
|
|
psdoom-ng to popular platforms such as MacOS and Windows.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
psdoom-ng is a Doom source port which aims to behave as closely
|
||
|
|
as possible to the original DOS Doom executables.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
psdoom-ng aims to:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Be lightweight and simple process manager
|
||
|
|
* Crossplatform 3D Process Manager
|
||
|
|
* Allow system administrators actually kill programs
|
||
|
|
* Expose or visualize hidden and zombies processes
|
||
|
|
* Expose current users or ttys as avatars.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
== Setting up gameplay ==
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
For instructions on how to set up psdoom-ng for play, see the
|
||
|
|
INSTALL file.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
== Configuration File ==
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
psdoom-ng 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.
|
||
|
|
psdoom-ng'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. psdoom-ng 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 psdoom-ng, run like this:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
psdoom -merge thetc.wad
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Here are some examples:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
psdoom -merge batman.wad -deh batman.deh vbatman.deh (Batman Doom)
|
||
|
|
psdoom -merge aoddoom1.wad -deh aoddoom1.deh (Army of Darkness Doom)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|

* More information, including information about how to play various
|
||
|
|
classic TCs, is available on the psdoom-ng website:

You are encouraged to sign up and contribute any useful information
|

|

you may have regarding the port!
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* psdoom-ng 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.
|
||
|
|
|
||
