Eureka 1.27 README ================== INTRODUCTION Eureka is a map editor for the classic DOOM games, and a few related games such as Heretic and Hexen. The supported operating systems are Linux (and other Unix-likes), Windows and macOS. WEB SITE http://eureka-editor.sourceforge.net/ FEATURES - Undo/Redo (multiple levels) - 3D view with good lighting emulation - Editable panels for things, linedefs, sectors (etc) - Browser for textures, flats, things (etc) - Key binding system - Built-in nodes builder SUPPORTED GAMES - DOOM - DOOM 2 - Final Doom - FreeDoom - HacX - Heretic - Hexen REQUIREMENTS - 128 MB of computer memory - 1024x720 or higher screen resolution - 3D accelerated graphics card - a keyboard and a two-button mouse - the data (iwad) file from a supported game COMPILATION See the INSTALL.txt document (in source code) RUNNING You can run Eureka from the command line, or it can be run from the desktop menu (if your OS handles .desktop files as per the XDG specs). Eureka will need to be able to find an IWAD to run, if it cannot find any then the "Manage Wads" dialog will open up, allowing you to "Find" one (which is remembered for next time). You can open a PWAD file using the File/Open menu command, or start a new map with File/New command. You can also specify the PWAD to edit on the command line, either on its own or with the -file option: eureka -file masterpiece.wad If that PWAD contains multiple maps, you may need to specify which one to edit using the -warp option: eureka -file masterpiece.wad -warp 14 For a summary of useful command line options, type: eureka --help KEYBOARD AND MOUSE CONTROLS All Modes --------- LMB * select an object, drag to move the object(s) * click in empty area to clear the selection * click + drag in empty area to select a group of objects RMB * begin/continue line drawing (in vertex mode) * merge sectors (in sectors mode) * with CTRL pressed: bring up operation menu MMB * scroll the map around (by dragging) wheel : zoom in or out cursor keys : scroll the map F1 : operation menu TAB : toggle the 3D preview on or off ESC : cancel the current operation t : enter Thing mode l : enter Linedef mode s : enter Sector mode v : enter Vertex mode b : toggle the Browser on or off 1..9 : select the grid size (smallest to largest) CTRL-Z : undo (can be used multiple times) CTRL-Y : redo (i.e. undo the previous undo) CTRL-A : select all CTRL-I : invert the selection CTRL-U : unselect all ` (backquote) : unselect all HOME : zoom 2D viewport to show the whole map END : move 2D viewport to camera location ' (quote) : move 3D camera to position of mouse pointer f : toggle free mode vs grid snapping g : toggle grid on / off N : open next map in the current wad P : open previous map in the current wad j : jump to object (by its numeric id) J : toggle object number display o : copy and paste the selected objects c : copy properties from selected --> highlighted object C : copy properties from highlighted --> selected objects H : mirror objects horizontally V : mirror objects vertically R : rotate objects 90 degrees clockwise W : rotate objects 90 degrees anti-clockwise a : scroll map with the mouse r : scale selected objects with the mouse R : scale selected objects, allow stretching CTRL-R : rotate the selected objects (with the mouse) K : skew (shear) the selected objects \ : toggle the RECENT category in the Browser u : popup menu to set ratio lock z : popup menu to set current scale B : popup menu to set browser mode F8 : popup menu to set sector rendering mode ;
