crispy-hexen(6) Games Manual crispy-hexen(6) NAME crispy-hexen - historically compatible Hexen engine SYNOPSIS crispy-hexen [options] DESCRIPTION Crispy Hexen is a port of Raven Software's 1995 game Hexen that aims to behave as similar to the original DOS version of Hexen as possible. GENERAL OPTIONS -config file Load main configuration from the specified file, instead of the default. -extraconfig file Load additional configuration from the specified file, instead of the default. -file file ... Load the specified PWAD files. Each succeeding argument is treated as a PWAD file name until one starts with a dash or the argument list is exhausted. -iwad file Specify an IWAD file to use. -nomusic Disable music. -nomusicpacks Disable substitution music packs. -nosfx Disable sound effects. -nosound Disable all sound output. -ravpic Take screenshots when F1 is pressed. -response file Load extra command-line arguments from the given response file. Arguments read from the file are inserted into the command line, replacing this argument. A response file can also be loaded us- ing the abbreviated syntax '@file.rsp'. -savedir directory Specify a path from which to load and save games. If the direc- tory does not exist then it will automatically be created. -version Print the program version and exit. GAME START OPTIONS -autohealth Automatic use of Quartz flasks and Mystic urns. -fast Fast monsters. This option is not allowed when recording a demo, playing back a demo or when starting a network game. -loadgame s Load the game in savegame slot s. -moremana Mana pickups give 50% more mana. This option is not allowed when recording a demo, playing back a demo or when starting a network game. -nomonsters Disable monsters. -respawn Monsters respawn after being killed. -skill skill Set the game skill, 1-5 (1: easiest, 5: hardest).

Equivalent to "-af <files> -as <files>". -af file ... Simulates the behavior of NWT's -af option, merging flats into the main IWAD directory. Multiple files may be specified. -as file ... Simulates the behavior of NWT's -as option, merging sprites into the main IWAD directory. Multiple files may be specified. -deh file ... Load the given dehacked patch(es) -merge file ... Simulates the behavior of deutex's -merge option, merging a PWAD into the main IWAD. Multiple files may be specified. -noautoload Disable auto-loading of .wad files. -nocheats Ignore cheats in dehacked files. -nwtmerge file ... Simulates the behavior of NWT's -merge option. Multiple files may be specified. DEMO OPTIONS -longtics Record or playback a demo with high resolution turning. -maxdemo size Specify the demo buffer size (KiB) -nodemoextend Record or playback a demo, automatically quitting after either level exit or player respawn. -noshortticfix Don't smooth out low resolution turning when recording a demo. -playdemo demo Play back the demo named demo.lmp. -record x Record a demo named x.lmp. -recordfrom save-num demo-name Load a game from the given savegame slot and record a demo from it. Equivalent to -loadgame <save-num> -record <demo-name>. -strictdemos When recording or playing back demos, disable any extensions of the vanilla demo format - record demos as vanilla would do, and play back demos as vanilla would do. -timedemo demo Play back the demo named demo.lmp, determining the framerate of the screen. COMPATIBILITY -gameversion version Emulate a specific version of Hexen. Valid values are "1.1" and "1.1r2". -setmem version Specify DOS version to emulate for NULL pointer dereference emu- lation. Supported versions are: dos622, dos71, dosbox. The de- fault is to emulate DOS 7.1 (Windows 98). -v10override If provided, the check for the v1.0 IWAD file is disabled, even though it will almost certainly cause the game to crash. OBSCURE AND LESS-USED OPTIONS -artiskip Don't allow artifacts to be used when the run key is held down. -cdrom [windows only] Save configuration data and savegames in c:\hexn- data, allowing play from CD. -dumpsubstconfig file Read all MIDI files from loaded WAD files, dump an example sub- stitution music config file to the specified file, and quit. -mb mb Specify the heap size, in MiB. -mmap Use the OS's virtual memory subsystem to map WAD files directly into memory. -nogui If specified, don't show a GUI window for error messages when the game exits with an error. -scripts path Development option to specify path to level scripts. IWAD SEARCH PATHS To play, an IWAD file is needed. This is a large file containing all of the levels, graphics, sound effects, music and other material that make up the game. IWAD files are named according to the game; the standard names are: doom.wad, doom1.wad, doom2.wad, tnt.wad, plutonia.wad Doom, Doom II, Final Doom heretic.wad, hexen.wad, strife.wad Heretic, Hexen and Strife (commercial Doom engine games). hacx.wad, chex.wad Hacx and Chex Quest - more obscure games based on the Doom en- gine. freedm.wad, freedoom1.wad, freedoom2.wad The Freedoom open content IWAD files. The following directory paths are searched in order to find an IWAD: Current working directory Any IWAD files found in the current working directory will be used in preference to IWADs found in any other directories. DOOMWADDIR This environment variable can be set to contain a path to a sin- gle directory in which to look for IWAD files. This environment variable is supported by most Doom source ports. DOOMWADPATH This environment variable, if set, can contain a colon-separated list of directories in which to look for IWAD files, or alterna- tively full paths to specific IWAD files. $HOME/.local/share/games/doom Writeable directory in the user's home directory. The path can be overridden using the XDG_DATA_HOME environment variable (see the XDG Base Directory Specification). /usr/local/share/doom /usr/local/share/games/doom /usr/share/doom /usr/share/games/doom System-wide locations that can be accessed by all users. The path /usr/share/games/doom is a standard path that is supported by most Doom source ports. These paths can be overridden using the XDG_DATA_DIRS environment variable (see the XDG Base Direc- tory Specification). The above can be overridden on a one-time basis by using the -iwad com- mand line parameter to provide the path to an IWAD file to use.This pa- rameter can also be used to specify the name of a particular IWAD to use from one of the above paths. For example, "-iwad doom.wad" will search the above paths for the file doom.wad to use. ENVIRONMENT This section describes environment variables that control Crispy Hexen's behavior. DOOMWADDIR DOOMWADPATH See section "IWAD SEARCH PATHS" above. PCSOUND_DRIVER When running in PC speaker sound effect mode, this environment variable specifies a PC speaker driver to use for sound effect playback. Valid options are "Linux" for the Linux console mode driver, "BSD" for the NetBSD/OpenBSD PC speaker driver, and "SDL" for SDL-based emulated PC speaker playback (using the dig- ital output). OPL_DRIVER When using OPL MIDI playback, this environment variable speci- fies an OPL backend driver to use. Valid options are "SDL" for an SDL-based software emulated OPL chip, "Linux" for the Linux hardware OPL driver, and "OpenBSD" for the OpenBSD/NetBSD hard- ware OPL driver. Generally speaking, a real hardware OPL chip sounds better than software emulation; however, modern machines do not often in- clude one. If present, it may still require extra work to set up and elevated security privileges to access. FILES $HOME/.local/share/crispy-doom/hexen.cfg The main configuration file for Crispy Hexen.
