rbdoom3bfg — Robert Beckeban's Doom 3 BFG Edition

Synopsis

rbdoom3bfg [options]

Description

rbdoom3bfg is a port of the id-soft released GPL'ed version of the Doom 3 BFG-Edition engine. It targets Linux support, 64-bit support and source code cleanup.

The goal of RBDoom3BFG is to bring Doom 3 BFG with the help of SDL to all suitable platforms. Bugs present in the original DOOM 3 will be fixed (when identified) without altering the original game-play.

Options

The game can be tweaked using some console commands which usually also can be passed using the commandline.

Below, for any values named boolean a "0" means disable and "1" enable.

Note that some values might be stored in the user's profile and are persistent over restarts.

+set fs_game modDirectoryName

When value is 0 set priority the mod's content over the game's one.
