The source code of Doom legacy for windows

      Choose whether items respawn or not.
      'respawnitem 0' is like old deathmatch, it is set 'true'
      automatically when in Deathmatch 2

      NOTE: it is considered cheating to allow respawning of items
            when in single player mode ! :)


 respawnitemtime <0-???>
      Set the respawn item time in secondes. The time between th moment
      you pickup the item, and the moment it reappears.

      The default is 30 seconds, from the original Doom.


 respawnmonsters <0|1>
      Choose if monsters can respawn.
      'respawnmonsters 1' is like the -respawn command-line option of
      the original Doom.


 fastmonsters <0|1>
      Choose if monster are "fast" like original -fastparm


 respawnmonsterstime <0-???>
      Choose the time of respawn for the monsters, in seconds.

 splitscreen <0|1>

      player. If you want to join a network game with two players you can
      use -splitscreen or +splitscren 1 parametters. Or, join the game and
      set this varaible to 1.
      Also when viewing demo with more than one player you can turn this one.
      And see the seconde player view.

  [2-6] Video
 ===========

 vid_nummodes
      Tells how many different video modes are available.


 vid_modelist
      List all available video modes, like they are shown in the
      Video Options menu. Each video mode has an associated number,
      so you can set it with the following command...


 vid_mode <mode number>
      Set the given video mode. Give one of the numbers displayed
      by the 'vid_modelist' command.


 vid_modeinfo [<mode number>]
      Shows information about the current video mode (no parameters),
      or the given video mode number.


 vid_ticrate <0|1>

      Show a graph of the framerate per time base.
      It is very usefull to know what part of a level is more slow in
      framerate value.


 playersprites <0|1>
      Choose whether to show the player weapon sprites (1), which is
      the default, or not to draw it (0).

      When 'playersprites' is '0', you can aim simply because your
      shots always go to the center of the screen, and the current
      weapon type is shown in the status bar, or by the ammo icon
      of the status bar overlay.

      Don't laugh! Sometimes I like to play with playersprites off.


 usegamma <0-4>
      Choose the gamma level (brightness). Just like in the Options
      menu.


 viewsize <3-11>
      Choose the size of the view window.
      '3' is the smallest view window.
      '10' is the normal full view window, with the status bar.
      '11' is the full screen mode, without status bar.

 scr_depth <8|16|24|32>
 scr_height <0-???>
 scr_width  <0-???>
      This varaible are only used to save the starting video mode.
      So you are not uspposed to change it.
      scr_depth is only used in OpneGl

      Is recommended to desable it on slow computer like 486.
 
 translucency <0|1>
      Enable/Disable transparent sprite.
 
      Is recommended to desable it on slow computer like 486.
 
 sceenlink <0|1|2>
      Allow to change the screen link between :
        0 - none
        1 - the normal wipe melt
        2 - the new color melt (it was in the original code, we just
                                enabled it)
|scalestatusbar <0|1>
|     Set to 1, this draw status bar in large mode. Else it draw 
|     status bar as this original size so in big resolution it is smaller


 [2-7] Multiplayer
 =================

 skin2 <skinname>
      Same as skin but for player 2 (split screen player).

 skin <skinname>
      Change your skin, provided skins are loaded (adding skins wads
      after the -file on the command line). The skin name is the one
      shown on the multiplayer->setup menu. The default marine skin
      name is 'marine'. Of course, it's easier to use the multiplayer
      setup menu.


 teamplay <0|1|2>
      You can change the deathmatch mode while in a multiplayer game.

      0 : no teams, usual deathmatch

      1 : teamplay, using color to identify teams, players of the
          same color will be in the same team, the team name will
          be like 'red team' or 'yellow team'

      2 : teamskin, using skins to identify teams, players who use
          the same skin will be in the same team, the team name will
          show as 'leprechaun team' or 'terminator team', according
          to the name of the skin


 teamdamage <0|1>
      Decide whether people of the same team can hurt themselves or
      not. Note that the armor is always damaged.

      NOTE! teamdamage works for cooperative! So you can now have
      a cooperative mode where your partners don't get damage.

      0 : damage is off, players of the same team can't kill each
          other, you'll know of this because blood won't show, and
          the player who is hit won't see his screen go red

      1 : damage is on, like in original Doom cooperative, players
          of the same team can hurt, and kill each other. If they
          kill members of the same team, they fill score a negative
          frag.


 frags
      Shows the frags table, like in the original Doom intermission.
      It shows the frags count for each player, against each other
      player.


 teamfrags
      Just like 'frags', but for teams, so it shows the frags count
      for each team, against each other team.


 gravity <0.0 ... ???>
      Changes the gravity, only the server changes it, for all the players.

      Note : this value is a 'float' type, for example 0.5 is half the normal
             gravity.
      Note2: you can't walk/move while in mid air.

      The default gravity is '1'.


 getplayernum
      This command tells the number, node and name of the present
      players. You can then use the number for the 'kick' command,
      instead of the player name, if a player has a complicated
      name or long one to type! :)


 kick <"playername"|playernum>
      One of the rare pleasure of being a server : kick out somebody
      from your game!! The 'kicked' person will be brought back to the
      title screen.

      You can give either the name (using "" if it contains spaces),
      or a player number from the 'getplayernum' command.

      NOTE: this will work only for the server of the game, see legacy
      documentation for more about who is the server.


 allowjump <0|1>
      Choose whether jump is allowed or not. For those of you who
      comes from planet 'NoJump' or have a limited sensory system
      and couldn't survive a jump in the 3rd axis of our world,
      you can disable the jump in single player too.

      Only the server can set this variable.

      NOTE: not saved automatically, put it in autoexec.cfg

      Disable autoaiming for all players... make sure everyone is ok

 map <mapname | wadfile.WAD> [-skill <1..5>] [-monsters <0/1>] [-noresetplayer]
      To play an original map of Doom1, enter a mapname of the
      form ExMy where x is the episode and y the map number
      eg: 'map E2M3'.

      For Doom2, enter a map name of the form MAPxx where xx is
      the map number from 01 to 32.

      The command can also run external maps, it will load
      new flat textures, sprites, sounds, AND wall textures.

      Example: 'map waterlab.wad'

      It can also change the skill value from 1 to 5. From baby to
      Nightmare. The -monsters parameter allow you change if there
      monster on the map or not. Note : the engine remembers this
      parameter use it only if you want to change it.

      The parameter -noresetplayer is to keep your equipment. Else
      you loos all weapon and ammunition.

|     on internet we are running a master server at address 
|     "doomlegacy.dhs.org:28910" (the default value) it collect all server

|     false, else legacy will try to connect to master server and it can take 
|     some time to detect that this one is unreachable.

 [2-8] Demos
 ===========

 NOTE: 'playdemo' command doesn't seem to work very well, sometimes
       the demos don't playback properly. In such case, until we
       fix it, use the -playdemo command line parm. It usually seem
       to work better.

       When we will have found that damn bug, we will add the
       'record' command.


 playdemo <demoname[.lmp]>
      You can now play a demo at any time during the game:

      playdemo demo3

      This will start the internal game demo 'demo3'.

      If an internal resource by the same name is not found, it
      will add '.lmp' and search for an external demo of the
      same name.

      You may add '.lmp' to ask explicitly for an external demo,
      example:
