Zdoom to Brutal Doom
-
Hi Folks,
I've been reading all the great guides and posts out there but I've hit a roadblock wonder if anyone can help? I've got ZDoom working well with my remapped config for the menu buttons and that works great. Now i would like the Brutal Doom mod on the menu as well, but i am not sure exactly the format to call the mod.
I can get it to run with:
"/opt/retropie/ports/zdoom/zdoom +set fullscreen 1 +set freelook 1 -config /opt/retropie/configs/ports/BrutalDoom/zdoom.ini -iwad /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/ports/doom/doom2.wad -file /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/ports/BrutalDoom/brutalv20b.pk3"But i loose the key remapping which i do in the runcommand-onstart.sh
How do i run the "-file /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/ports/BrutalDoom/brutalv20b.pk3" in this style so i get my key remapping?
"/opt/retropie/supplementary/runcommand/runcommand.sh" 0 PORT "doom" "/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/ports/doom/doom2.wad"Thanks

@gorgar just go into the options in doom and setup the controls. I would use the zdoom.ini mapping for it personally. If you set it up once, it works for every version of doom and doom based game.
-
The game controls are fine the menu controls are the issue the enter and esc on the menu cannot be mapped to a controller button without remapping which it took me a while but i got working thanks to the great guides out there, i just now need to fire up brutal doom and keep that mapping.
-
@gorgar can you post the contents of your runcommand-onstart.sh?
-
here you go...
#!/bin/sh
echo $1
delay 5
if [ "$1" = "doom" ]
then
sudo killall > /dev/null 2>&1 xboxdr
sudo /opt/retropie/supplementary/xboxdrv/bin/xboxdrv
--evdev /dev/input/event2
--silent
--detach-kernel-driver
--force-feedback
--deadzone-trigger 15%
--deadzone 4000
--mimic-xpad
--evdev-absmap ABS_X=x1,ABS_Y=y1,ABS_Z=x2,ABS_RZ=y2,ABS_BRAKE=lt,ABS_GAS=rt,ABS_HAT0X=dpad_x,ABS_HAT0Y=dpad_y
--evdev-keymap BTN_SOUTH=a,BTN_EAST=b,BTN_NORTH=x,BTN_WEST=y,BTN_TL=lb,BTN_TR=rb,BTN_THUMBL=tl,BTN_THUMBR=tr,BTN_SELECT=back,BTN_START=start
--ui-buttonmap back=KEY_ESC,start=KEY_ENTER

@gorgar what happens if you replicate all that but change
if [ "$1" = "doom" ]To
if [ "$1" = "doom2" ]Or
if [ "$1" = "BrutalDoom" ] -
Hi the problem is not the onstart its the actual format of the command to run brutal doom, my keymapping uses the runcommand format and i dont know how to format that command to include the "-file /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/ports/BrutalDoom/brutalv20b.pk3" paramter . As i said ZDoom works great its just this extra command to get brutal doom working with the runcommand.
Thx
Paul

@gorgar yes you have a runcommand looking for the port doom. But i think you need it to also look for the port BrutalDoom. It doesnt look for zdoom. It looks for the port names. If you put all of your wads, iwads, files, etc into the doom folder and not seperate folders like BrutalDoom or doom2 and tell your config file to look there for them i think the script you already created for the menu buttons will work.

@edmaul69 I'd love it if you or @mediamogul (or anyone else really) made a step-by-step guide on the wiki for how to get Brutal Doom working with ZDoom, including getting the full controller setup with menu buttons. With your help I got ZDoom playing Doom properly, but I still need a keyboard for menus, and I haven't had the time/patience/wherewithal to try getting Brutal Doom running yet.
-
@mattrixk i will try to work on it tomorrow. My power has been out for the last six hours because lightning ripped through a power pole and a tree across the street from me so i wont have any power tonight. So hopefully it will be back on by tomorrow.
-
@edmaul69 Oh wow. Well I'm glad it didn't hit you/your house directly, and I'm hoping the tree didn't fall on anyone/anything. Be safe mate.
-
So what are your go-to power outage activities?
-
@mediamogul i turn the brightness all the way off on my phone to save battery life. Put 3 led flashlights in the wall sconces to light the living room and right now we are watching Ouija - origin of evil on my laptop.
-
So, I need to remap my menu control bindings. In my doom menus, up and down with my controller pad works fine, but enter and back are a problem. How did you manage to change the menu bindings? Ive been looking llike crazy with no success.
-
@b1063n joymap or follow @mediamogul 's xboxdrvr guide to assign keyboard keys to your controller.
-
@b1063n you only need to program the enter and escape. Left and right on your controller works as up and down
-
@edmaul69 Right! Escape and enter! Escape already works in game. But then I get stuck in the menu. I am looking into your suggestions now.
