heretic.cfg(5) File Formats Manual heretic.cfg(5) NAME heretic.cfg - Chocolate Heretic configuration file DESCRIPTION heretic.cfg is the configuration file for chocolate-heretic(6). The con- figuration options stored in the file are the same as those stored in the original DOS Vanilla Heretic. Extra Chocolate Heretic-specific options are stored in a separate configuration file, chocolate-heretic.cfg. heretic.cfg is normally stored in the user's home directory, as ~/.lo- cal/share/chocolate-heretic/heretic.cfg. The path can be overridden using the XDG_DATA_HOME environment variable (see the XDG Base Directory Specifi- cation). The chocolate-heretic-setup(6) tool provides a simple to use front-end for editing heretic.cfg. FILE FORMAT The file is a plain-text file, consisting of a list of configuration op- tions 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 ("). For example: integer_value 1 integer_value2 1 floating_point_value 4.2 string_value "hello world" 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. Some options are used for keyboard key bindings; these are stored as inte- ger 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". CONFIGURATION VARIABLES mouse_sensitivity Mouse sensitivity. This value is used to multiply input mouse move- ment to control the effect of moving the mouse. The "normal" maximum value available for this through the in-game options menu is 9. A value of 31 or greater will cause the game to crash when entering the options menu. sfx_volume Volume of sound effects, range 0-15. music_volume Volume of in-game music, range 0-15. key_right Keyboard key to turn right. key_left Keyboard key to turn left. key_up Keyboard key to move forward. key_down Keyboard key to move backward. key_strafeleft Keyboard key to strafe left. key_straferight Keyboard key to strafe right. key_flyup Keyboard key to fly upward. key_flydown Keyboard key to fly downwards. key_flycenter Keyboard key to center flying. key_lookup Keyboard key to look up. key_lookdown Keyboard key to look down. key_lookcenter Keyboard key to center the view. key_invleft Keyboard key to scroll left in the inventory. key_invright Keyboard key to scroll right in the inventory. key_useartifact Keyboard key to use the current item in the inventory. key_fire Keyboard key to fire the currently selected weapon. key_use Keyboard key to "use" an object, eg. a door or switch. key_strafe Keyboard key to turn on strafing.
