Is there a reason you changed the format of the config files for this version? Just asking as it took me a while to reconstruct most my previous configuration, a little warning would have been nice. (if it was posted and I didn't see it sorry in advance)

KK wants to make as much as possible work on LUA.

This has the ability to create custom key mappings since each mapped key can become a function in LUA that can thus do a few things at one go.

0.9.9.3 BETA 1 has already the possibility of chaining commands. Aaand, write custom commands, like binding a medkit usage under "m".
Probably before 1.0.0 is out you could use a function in the config file to write a whole DoomRL playing bot ;)

A little thing that I really like in the new config files is being able to bind the same function to multiple keys. That way I can keep things as I like them, and if a guest is playing they don't need to learn or change my keys.

I like the idea of custom commands, being able to create a binding to use your smallest medpack then another binding to use your largest would a great benefit during speed runs. Hell, I'd even bind the nuke to a key, anything to save me a couple of seconds. Maybe the phases too...

Yeah, I have no idea what to do with this at all. I keep trying different ways of using that command line thing, and either nothing happens at all, or it horfs a bunch junk at me about the file I'm telling it to look at not being a table. I have no clue how to change anything.
I just want to use the mp3 music and put myself on the right side of the starting level. I don't have any programs that can open these things. lua stuff is supposed to be a backend, why are you making me deal with this?
-
can't you just open the file in notepad or whatever and edit it? the file is very similar to the old config.ini.
http://notepad-plus-plus.org/ for a nice alternative, I just right-click on a file and say "open in notepad++", but it shouldn't be needed. It does colour-code the parts of the file though :)
-
...I'm not sure why I didn't think of using notepad.
Not my day, I think.

Just remember to use lowercase true and false (this will be documented).
Also there is a high possibility that we will have normal configuration accessible from the menu in some later version.
