SYNOPSIS

doomsday-shell-text

OPTIONS

This version of doomsday-shell-text does not support any command line options.

INTRODUCTION

The Shell is a utility for controlling and monitoring Doomsday servers. It has a curses-based terminal-friendly UI that allows one to connect to local and remote Doomsday servers. One can also start new servers on the local machine.

Once connected to a server, a console command line is provided for controlling the server.

USER INTERFACE

Connect to...: Open a connection to a server at a given IP address.
Disconnect: Disconnect the current connection. The server will not be stopped.
Start local server: Starts a new Doomsday server on the local machine. A dialog will open for configuring the game mode, server's TCP port, and other launch options. You must ensure that Doomsday will be able to locate the required IWAD files (https://manual.dengine.net/IWAD). After the server launches, a connection to it is opened automatically.
Scroll to bottom: Scrolls the log entry history down to the bottom of the buffer, to the latest received log entry.
About: Information about the Shell utility.
Exit: Exit the Shell. Any running servers will not be stopped.

Console

A console command line is provided for interacting with a connected server. These commands will get you started:

help: Show some general level help about using the console interface.
apropos: Look up commands and variables containing a specific word.

The PageUp and PageDown keys scroll the log entry history.
