On OSX the numeric keypad doesn't work for movement; it's treated like typing the number keys on the main island. Note that OSX doesn't have a Numlock button*. Relatedly, the Page Up/Page Down/Home/End keys don't work for diagonal numbers. Hitting Page Up is treated as hitting , (i.e. it repeats movement), while the others are simply not recognized at all.

A crude workaround is to rebind the quick-weapon swap keys (1-9) to be movement keys instead, since frankly movement with the numpad is probably more important than being able to easily swap in a specific weapon type.

Regarding console mode, it can't seem to detect the terminal type. I modified config.lua so Graphics was set to "CONSOLE", went into DoomRL.app/Contents/Resources/MacOS in Terminal, and did "./DoomRL". It output:

Code: [Select]

reset: can't initialize terminal type network (error -1)
Terminal type?
I input "xterm-256color" (the value of $TERM) and it said:

Code: [Select]

Abnormal program termination!

This is particularly aggravating as when playing with tiles, the window size is not resizable and the game won't let you see the entire play area at once. Let me play in ASCII, dangit!

* Numlock is one of the most mindbogglingly stupid ideas I've ever heard of. You make a numeric keypad, and then you make that numeric keypad only type numbers if you turn on a special modifier key? Whose idea was that? Keys should do what they say on the key, i.e. type characters. But I digress...

Console mode was never officially supported on OSX. As for keybindings... sigh... that's why I try to do Jupiter Hell in 4 directions.
