💖 rbdoom3bfg(6) — Robert Beckeban's Doom 3 BFG Edition 💖

okay bestie, sit down, grab a snack 🍓, because this is the manual page for rbdoom3bfg, section 6 of the manual, and we're gonna get you fluent in it.

✨ NAME ✨

rbdoom3bfg — Robert Beckeban's Doom 3 BFG Edition 🎀

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

rbdoom3bfg [options]

literally just the binary and whatever options you feel like throwing at it. that's it. slay 💅

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so rbdoom3bfg is a port of the GPL'ed version of the Doom 3 BFG-Edition engine that id-soft released. no cap, that's the whole origin story.

it targets Linux support, 64-bit support, and source code cleanup. like, the glow-up was real.

the goal of RBDoom3BFG is to bring Doom 3 BFG to all suitable platforms with the help of SDL. and bugs present in the original DOOM 3 will be fixed (when identified) without altering the original game-play. bestie, they're fixing the vibes without touching the gameplay — that's main character energy fr fr. 👑

🔥 OPTIONS 🔥

the game can be tweaked using some console commands which usually also can be passed using the commandline. so yes, you get to be a little gremlin with it. 🙈

below, for any values named boolean a "0" means disable and "1" enable. memorize that, it's the whole cheat code.

note that some values might be stored in the user's profile and are persistent over restarts. so if something's acting weird tomorrow, it's not haunted, it's saved. 💀
  • +set fs_game modDirectoryName — defines the mod directory to be used. best used with +set fs_resourceLoadPriority. like, they're a duo, an iconic pair. 🫶
  • +set fs_resourceLoadPriority value — when value is 0 set priority the mod's content over the game's one. yes, the mod eats first. 💅
  • +set com_allowconsole boolean — allow (default) or disallow console access. so the default is allowed, you have the keys to the console, go off. 🔑
  • +set com_showFPS value — show frames rendered per second. use this value:
    • 0 to turn off (default),
    • 1 default bfg values,
    • 2 only show FPS (classic view)

pick your fighter. ✨

  • +set com_speeds boolean — show engine timings. default is off.q
  • +set com_forceGenericSIMD boolean — force the use of generic platform independent SIMD code. default is off. she's generic and she's thriving. 🌈

🎀 NOTES 🎀

to actually play Doom3 BFG Edition, you need a copy of the (non-free) game data. yeah bestie, the engine is free but the game data is not — no free lunch, sadly. 😭

please see /usr/share/doc/rbdoom3bfg/README.txt.gz for details. read it, it's giving important. 📖
