crispy-hexen - historically compatible Hexen engine

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

-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 emulation.  Supported versions are:
              dos622, dos71, dosbox. The default 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.

       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.

       This section describes environment variables that control Crispy Hexen'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/hexen.cfg
              The main configuration file for Crispy Hexen.  See hexen.cfg(5).

       $HOME/.local/share/crispy-doom/crispy-hexen.cfg
              Extra configuration values that are specific to Crispy Hexen and not  present  in  Vanilla  Hexen.
              See crispy-hexen.cfg(5).

-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

       -skill<skill>
              Set the game skill, 1-5 (1: easiest, 5: hardest).  A skill of 0 disables all monsters.

       -warpx
              Start a game immediately, warping to MAPx.

-config<file>
              Load main configuration from the specified file, instead of the default.

              Take screenshots when F1 is pressed.

       -response<filename>
              Load extra command line arguments from the given response file. Arguments read from the file  will
              be  inserted  into  the  command  line replacing this argument. A response file can also be loaded
              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.
