Yes. There is no reason to.

By default "jump" is bound to right mouse button in C:\Users\username\Saved Games\Nightdive Studios\DOOM 64\kexengine.cfg. It doesn't work though and every time you press jump button you will get a "Unknown command: jump" log in stdout.txt.

I have no idea why it exists though. Maybe you can unlock jumping in this port or something.

Probably because Kex engine is used in other games with jump.

There is plenty of reason to, especially for alternative ways to get some of the secrets.

Hopefully they either add those options back or one of the current sourceports become compatible with this iWAD.

You're not supposed to get them that way.

Your not *supposed* to play this game on the source port then. This version has diferent weapon recoil than the original (very noticiable on the BFG/Rocket Launcher). It has diferent lightning too.

Also, one should utterly disable mouse too (and keyboard!), your not supposed to play with it anyway.

Honestly, tho... either they patch out a better port or this is gonna be yet another download where its only useful to get the WAD to put it in a better source port.

Stop whining, learn how to get the secrets legitimately.

And we resort to that kind of e-ego argument

Buddy, i have finished the game on the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ console, i dont need people telling me the only way to play it is through "the one true way".

I love doom to this day due to modding, something you probably abhor with that kind of comment. Exploring the game, the levels, etc from both the player and map maker perspective is a hobby of mine... when i read what you said, i just remember your not the reason the Doom community still exists today, so go back to your corner.

Just to check, has anyone here gone through Hectic's secret exit yet? That's what unlocks jumping.

Jumping is unlocked? What about vertical mouselook?

I did and it unlocks a features menu with cheats but no jumping, at least on switch.

Is vertical mouse a cheat? LOL

The reason you could jump and have mouse look in Doom 64 EX or Brutal Doom 64 or any other source port is because they were unofficial versions from fans. I mean of course they were going to add in some crazy new stuff. That's what fans do, they aren't bound by anyone breathing down their neck.

This being an official version you can be sure they were not gonna give you any game breaking features to let you bypass areas or take shortcuts. They intended for this to play just like the original (outside of QoL enhancements that don't break the game).

Now does all this mean that one version of the game is better than the other? No not at all. They are simply all different versions from different people is all it is.

Only in Doom64EX and Absolution, not in the original game.
