Proper key binding

Binds have to be edited manually in the configuration file.

Add a key binding section to gzdoom-<username>.ini

Add the following to the configuration file: Default key binds [.Bindings] 1=slot 1 2=slot 2 3=slot 3 4=slot 4 5=slot 5 6=slot 6 7=slot 7 8=slot 8 9=slot 9 0=slot 0 mwheelleft=invprev mwheelright=invnext enter=invuse -=sizedown equals=sizeup shift=+speed e=+use ,=+right .=+left w=+forward s=+back a=+moveleft d=+moveright space=+jump mouse2=weapnext mouse1=+attack q=+altattack ctrl=+crouch f1=menu_save f2=menu_save f3=menu_load f4=menu_options f5=menu_display f6=quicksave f7=menu_endgame f8=togglemessages f9=quickload f11=bumpgamma f10=menu_quit pause=pause sysrq=screenshot t=messagemode \=+showscores f12=spynext

Enable console

Bind the console to a key
Following the proper key bind fix, add `=toggleconsole to the new [.Bindings] section. The whole [.Bindings] section has to be added in. Using the toggleconsole line alone will unbind everything else, making the game unplayable.

Enable controller

Edit gzdoom-<username>.ini
Set use_joystick to true.

Playing online

Use command line arguments

Start gzdoom.exe with the following: Hosting: SharpShooter3D Extreme Edition.exe -host <number of clients> -skill <0-3> +map <map name> Joining: SharpShooter3D Extreme Edition.exe -join <ip address> +map must be specified otherwise GZDoom will look for E1M1 and close as there is no such map. Host may add -deathmatch to play deathmatch mode. Deathmatch maps are DM01, DM02 and DM03. Client must add -port <port number> if host uses a non-default port.

Issues fixed

Game is desaturated

Edit gzdoom-<username>.ini
Set vid_saturation to 1.
