The automatic sr50 and sr50 on turns options are for TASing only. You'll generally need this for performing certain tricks, so the toggle is more useful. Set your vertical sensitivity to zero in the options to turn this off, or look for the mouse look toggle in the key bindings.

Why do I move forward when I move the mouse?ĭoom has 'vertical mouse movement' by default. In between attempts, you'll need to exit the game. The key to toggle the advanced hud can be found in options -> setup -> keybindings (default is f5). Go to options -> setup -> status bar / hud and turn on 'show level time' under the advanced hud settings. Here is an example command:ĭsda-doom.exe -iwad /path/to/doom.wad -skill 4 -warp 1 1 -complevel 3 -levelstat -record my_demo FAQ How can I see the in-game timer? This can be done on the actual command line, or via a batch file (.bat). In order to record a demo, you'll want to launch DSDA-Doom along with the relevant command line options described above.

-playdemo x.lmp - play back a demo file.

Generally, many tricks are harder with this setting. This should not be used for the original games, but is allowed for custom maps.

-longtics - this causes the demo to use higher precision for turning.

-shorttics - this turns on demo-style turning when not recording.

This could be '12' for doom 2 or '1 2' (e1m2) for doom 1.

-skill x - sets the skill level for the run.

-file x.wad - uses x.wad as a pwad (custom maps that will use the resources of the iwad).

-iwad x.wad - uses x.wad as the iwad (usually doom, doom2, etc).

-levelstat - outputs a levelstat.txt file with map-by-map stats and times.

-record x - records a demo to the file x.lmp.Many command line options are useful for demo recording. Keep in mind that a custom map using doom as an iwad would be complevel 3, a map using doom 2 would be complevel 2, etc. When playing custom maps, the compatibility level is generally listed in the text file. If you use the wrong complevel, your run is invalid. For recording demos (and testing as well), the following complevels are most relevant: This means we can run wads in DSDA-Doom that would break in the original game, but with otherwise identical game logic. The original executable for doom had various limits in place due to the restrictions of that era, but these limits are removed in the port. Additionally, the port is limit-removing. Each value of x will set the game logic to mimic that of a given environment. In order to achieve this, the port is capable of switching it's compatibility mode (dubbed complevel) at launch via the -complevel x command line option. DSDA-Doom is compatible with the vast majority of wads that see competition.
