crispy-heretic - historically compatible Heretic engine

       Chocolate  Heretic  is  part of the Chocolate Doom project, written and maintained by Simon Howard. It is
       based on the Heretic source code, released by Raven Software.

       Crispy  Heretic  is  a port of Raven Software's 1994 game "Heretic" that aims to behave as similar to the
       original DOS version of Heretic as possible.

       This section describes environment variables that control Crispy Heretic's behavior.

       DOOMWADDIR, DOOMWADPATH
              See the section, IWADSEARCHPATHS 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 digital output).

       OPL_DRIVER
              When  using  OPL  MIDI playback, this environment variable specifies 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 hardware OPL driver.

              Generally  speaking,  a  real  hardware  OPL  chip sounds better than software emulation; however,
              modern machines do not often include one. If present, it may still require extra work  to  set  up
              and elevated security privileges to access.

$HOME/.local/share/crispy-doom/heretic.cfg
              The main configuration file for Crispy Heretic.  See heretic.cfg(5).

       $HOME/.local/share/crispy-doom/crispy-heretic.cfg

              following: wand, staff and 50 ammo for the wand. This option is not allowed when recording a demo,
              playing back a demo or when starting a network game.

              using the abbreviated syntax '@filename.rsp'.

       -savedir<directory>
              Specify a path from which to load and save games. If the directory does not  exist  then  it  will
              automatically be created.

       -version
              Print the program version and exit.

       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,heretic1.wad,hexen.wad,strife1.wad
              Heretic, Hexen and Strife (commercial Doom engine games).

       hacx.wad,chex.wad
              Hacx and Chex Quest - more obscure games based on the Doom engine.

       freedm.wad,freedoom1.wad,freedoom2.wad
              The Freedoom open content IWAD files.

       The following directory paths are searched in order to find an IWAD:

       Currentworkingdirectory
              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 single 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 alternatively 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  Directory
              Specification).

       The  above can be overridden on a one-time basis by using the -iwad command line parameter to provide the
       path to an IWAD file to use. This parameter can also be used to specify the name of a particular IWAD  to
       use  from  one of the above paths. For example, '-iwaddoom.wad' will search the above paths for the file
       doom.wad to use.
