Yeah, pretty nice the graphics, but... What if you want to play on classic ASCII mode under Linux? Windows users seem to have an ASCII-only executable, but I only have doomrl and doomrl-xterm. Both lanuch the game in graphic mode!!

Try setting the option 'Graphics = "CONSOLE"' in config.lua.

-console from the command line should also work.

Slight correction: issue the option to doomrl directly and not via doomrl_xterm or any of the other shell scripts.

Kornel: We should probably make those scripts allow command line options to be passed directly to the executable.

-console from the command line should also work.

Thank you! I hope I shold make a request to add that on the documentation. Funny thing is that I tried with --nographics --console (two --). Graphics are cool, but with them I can't play doomrl on a console, or via ssh. I was scared to death thinking I had to stay on an older version forever :D

Playing by SSH doesn't strike me as a very good idea unless you can figure out a way to forward sound over the SSH connection.

Sadly there is no way of forwarding sound, but when If I play via SSH, is because I don't have any other way... Still I love to have the option. It is always funny to play it remotely if you don't have direct access to your machine. I am still using the console 80% of the time on a computer; still, I'll check the tileset. I know It is nice, the problem (for me, not the 99% of human population) Is that it is highly incompatible to console...
