• All whitespace not between two non-whitespace characters is ignored.
• Any unknown variable name is ignored.
• All values are treated as text strings, and quotation marks are not required.
• Comments may start with '#', ';', or '//'. All three comments are single line only, and extend to the end of the line.
• An optional equal sign can be placed between a variable and the value it is given. It is not an error to omit it.
• Block headers are required, and are enclosed in square brackets ([ ]). Block headers differ between global and level header MapInfo. See the respective sections in this documentation for what block headers you can use in a particular MapInfo lump.

• altskyname
  Name of a texture to display instead of the normal sky texture during a lightning strike. This value is only used if lightning is enabled for this level. If this value is not provided, no sky animation will occur during lightning strikes.
  Example:

  altskyname = LBOLTSKY

• boss-specials
  A flags field that specifies what formerly level-specific boss "magic codepointer" actions are enabled for this level. This field takes a value in the same format as that used by EDF, DeHackEd/BEX, and ExtraData flag fields, but the format will be reviewed here for completeness.
  
  A BEX flag list is a string of flag names separated by whitespace, pipe characters, commas, or plus characters. Flags are combined using bitwise-OR logic, so a flag name can be specified more than once. Specifying a flag name causes that flag to be turned on. The default state of all flags is off.
  
  These are the flag values which are available for this field:

      Flag name  Decimal  Hex     Meaning
      -----------------------------------------------------------------
      MAP07_1    1        0x0001  MAP07 Special 1 (BossDeath only)
      MAP07_2    2        0x0002  MAP07 Special 2 (BossDeath only)
      E1M8       4        0x0004  E1M8 Special
      E2M8       8        0x0008  E2M8 Special
      E3M8       16       0x0010  E3M8 Special
      E4M6       32       0x0020  E4M6 Special (BossDeath only)
      E4M8       64       0x0040  E4M8 Special
      E5M8       128      0x0080  E5M8 Special (HticBossDeath Only)
      -----------------------------------------------------------------

  Notes: Actions differ depending on whether monsters use the BossDeath or HticBossDeath codepointers. See the documentation for those specific codepointers to see what actions they perform. The monsters which must be dead for a given special to activate are controlled by various EDF/BEX thingtype flags. Together, these features allow complete customization.
  
  Example flags fields -- All of these are equivalent:

      boss-specials = MAP07_1|MAP07_2
      boss-specials = MAP07_1 | MAP07_2
      
      boss-specials = MAP07_1+MAP07_2
      boss-specials = MAP07_2 + MAP07_2
      
      boss-specials = MAP07_1,MAP07_2
      boss-specials = MAP07_1, MAP07_2
  
      boss-specials = MAP07_1 MAP07_2

• colormap
  Name of a colormap lump to use as the global colormap for this level. This colormap is applied to any sectors which do not have their own colormaps specified either via use of 242 height transfer linedefs or scripting. This lump must be between C_START and C_END tags.
  Example:

  colormap = FOGMAP

• creator
  The level author's name, which can be viewed in the console using the "creator" console command. If this value is not provided, the default value is "unknown".
  Example:

  creator = Edwin Chadwick 'chadders'

• doublesky
  Boolean value that determines whether or not this map uses double skies. When double skies are enabled, any F_SKY1 or F_SKY2 sectors *not* affected by MBF sky transfer lines will use both the primary and secondary sky textures together. The secondary texture will be drawn first, normally, then the primary texture will be drawn over it, omitting any pixels which use palette index zero (this is usually pure black). Any MapInfo sky delta values provided will be applied to their respective textures.
  Example:

  doublesky = true

• edf-intername
  Boolean value which, if true, enables the use of EDF-defined intermission map name strings which will be drawn using the FONTB graphics (provided in eternity.wad for DOOM/DOOM II, and natively supported by Heretic). This feature is meant to obsolete the levelpic variable and to remove the need for authors to create title graphics for their maps in DOOM/DOOM II. It also allows intermission map name replacement to work correctly for the next level and for Heretic without any hacks.
  The EDF string which will be used as the intermission name for the current map should have the mnemonic _IN_NAME_<mapname>, where <mapname> is the exact name of the map's header lump (Example: _IN_NAME_MAP01).
  In order for the name of the next map to display correctly, the current level must either define its nextlevel/nextsecret values explicitly, or it must be an ExMy or MAPxy level.
  Example:

  edf-intername = true

• endofgame
  Boolean value which, if true, causes a DOOM II cast call to occur when this map is exited. This value is currently only usable in DOOM II. A level must also have intermission text defined for a cast call to take place.
  Example:

  endofgame = true

• extradata
  Name of the ExtraData script lump for this map. See the ExtraData Reference for full information on ExtraData. There are no naming restrictions on ExtraData script lumps.
  Example:

  extradata = EXTRDT01

• finale-secret
  Boolean value which, if true, indicates that a text intermission should only occur after this map if a secret exit was taken. If no intermission text is defined for this map, this variable has no effect.
  Example:

  finale-secret = true

• fullbright
  Boolean value that determines whether fullbright can be used on this level. When fullbright is disabled, player gun flashes will not occur, and fullbright sprites and particles will be drawn normally. This should be used with most custom colormaps, since flashes and fullbright sprites usually look incorrect with them.
  Example:

  fullbright = false

• gravity
  Global gravity factor for the current level. The default gravity value is 65536.
  Example:

      # Enable 50% gravity
      gravity = 32768

• inter-backdrop
  Name of a 64x64 flat OR a 320x200 graphic lump to be displayed as the background of a text intermission which occurs after this map. The flat namespace will be searched first, so if both a flat and a 320x200 picture of the same name exist, the flat will be chosen.
  Example:

  inter-backdrop = FLATHUH1

• intermusic
  Name of a MUS or MIDI lump to use as music during a text intermission which occurs after this map. If no intertext is defined for the map, this value will not be used. In DOOM gamemodes, the string provided should be the lump name minus the "D_" prefix. In Heretic, the string provided should be the lump name minus the "MUS_" prefix. You are *not* limited to using only the built-in music lump names; Eternity automatically adds any new lump which matches the naming convention for the current gamemode to the internal music list.
  Example:

  intermusic = ROMERO

• interpic
  Name of a 320x200 graphic lump to be displayed as the background of the statistics intermission. This value is currently only used for DOOM II and Ultimate DOOM episode 4 maps.
  Example:

  interpic = BOSSBACK

• intertext
  Lump name of a text lump to be loaded as intermission text for this level. If the level has an intermission by default, this will replace the default intermission text, even if it has been edited via DeHackEd. If there is not normally a text intermission after this map, the presence of this variable serves to enable it. If no intertext is defined, a text intermission will not occur after a map. The formatting of the text inside the indicated lump will be preserved exactly, with the exception of tabs, which are converted to spaces. There is no length limitation, but only one screen of text can be displayed. Any extra text will be drawn off the bottom of the screen.
  Example:

  intertext = MAP04TXT

• killfinale
  Boolean value that allows built-in text intermission points to be disabled. For example, if you do not want text to appear after DOOM II MAP11, set this variable to true.
  Example:

  killfinale = true

• killstats
  Boolean value that allows the statistics intermission between two maps to be disabled. If the map has a finale sequence to be displayed, it will start immediately, otherwise the next map will be loaded.
  Example:

  killstats = true

• levelname
  This is the name of the level which will be displayed in the automap. This value overrides any string provided via DeHackEd.
  Example:

  levelname = chadders' lair

• levelpic
  This is the name of a graphic lump which will be shown as the level name during the statistics intermission when this map is the previous map which was just beaten. Note: you cannot currently specify the graphic to be shown for the next map. This is a known bug in MapInfo and may not be repaired due to the new edf-intername feature. This value is only used for DOOM and DOOM II maps.
  Example:

  levelpic = E1M1PIC

• levelscript
  Name of a compiled Small script lump which will serve as the Levelscript for this map. See the Small Usage Documentation for full information on how the Levelscript works. There are no naming restrictions on script lumps.
  Example:

  levelscript = SCRIPT01

• leveltype
  String value that declares what type of level the current map is classified as. Possible values are "doom" and "heretic". This variable affects the automatic translation of thing types and line specials.
  Example:

  leveltype = heretic

• lightning
  Boolean value that toggles the global lightning effect. When set to true, all sky sectors on the map will flash at randomly determined intervals along with a thunder sound and optional animation of the normal sky texture. Warning: sectors must currently have a sky ceiling at the beginning of the level in order to be affected by lightning. The only current method to make non-sky sectors flash during lightning strikes is via use of BOOM lighting transfer linedefs. This may be improved in the near future.
  Example:

  lightning = true

• music
  Provides the name of a MUS or MIDI lump to use as music. In DOOM gamemodes, the string provided should be the lump name minus the "D_" prefix. In Heretic, the string provided should be the lump name minus the "MUS_" prefix. You are *not* limited to using only the built-in music lump names; Eternity automatically adds any new lump which matches the naming convention for the current gamemode to the internal music list.
  Example:

  music = cheese

• nextlevel
  The exact header name of the next level to go to when a normal exit occurs on this map. This can specify *any* lump name, but the lump should be a valid level header or an error will occur.
  Example:

  nextlevel = CHAD2

• nextsecret
  The exact header name of the next level to go to when a secret exit occurs on this map. This can specify *any* lump name, but the lump should be a valid level header or an error will occur. Note that except for maps which normally have secret exits, the default behavior is to repeat the same level. This MapInfo value allows you to avoid that and use a secret exit on any map.
  Example:

  nextsecret = MAP34

• partime
  Partime for the map in seconds. This value overrides any value provided via DeHackEd. Note that partimes are only supported in episodes 1-3 of DOOM and any map of DOOM II. Ultimate DOOM episode 4, Heretic, and non-standard maps currently never display par times.
  Example:

  partime = 200

• skydelta
  Pixels per gametic that the primary sky texture should scroll. This effect will only be applied to double skies and to F_SKY1 sectors which are NOT affected by any MBF sky transfer linedefs.
  Example:

  skydelta = 5

• sky2delta
  Pixels per gametic that the secondary sky texture should scroll. This effect will only be applied to double skies and to F_SKY2 sectors (which cannot be affected by MBF sky transfer linedefs).
  Example:

  sky2delta = 7

• skyname
  Name of a texture to use as the primary sky for this map. This sky will appear in all sectors which use the F_SKY1 flat, and it will also appear as the top layer of Hexen-style double skies. The name provided for this lump must be a valid texture or an error will occur.
  Example:

  skyname = SKY2

• sky2name
  Name of a texture to use as the secondary sky for this map. This sky will appear in all sectors which use the F_SKY2 flat, and it will also appear as the bottom layer of Hexen- style double skies. The name provided for this lump must be a valid texture or an error will occur. If no name is provided for the secondary sky, the primary sky name will be copied to it, so it is not an error to use F_SKY2 or double skies in a level where the sky2 texture is not explicitly defined.
  Example:

  sky2name = SKY4

• unevenlight
  Boolean value that determines whether walls parallel to the x and y axes of the game world are given lighting values 1 level higher or lower than other walls. This can dramatically affect the perceived light level of an area, so only use it for maps that are designed specifically for it. Maps which use custom global colormaps should usually set this value to false, since it only generally looks appropriate with the normal colormap.
  Example:

  unevenlight = false

• sound-swtchn
  EDF mnemonic of a sound to replace the default "swtchn" sound for this map.
  
  
• sound-swtchx
  EDF mnemonic of a sound to replace the default "swtchx" sound for this map.
  
  
• sound-stnmov
  EDF mnemonic of a sound to replace the default "stnmov" sound for this map.
  
  
• sound-pstop
  EDF mnemonic of a sound to replace the default "pstop" sound for this map.
  
  
• sound-pstart
  EDF mnemonic of a sound to replace the default "pstart" sound for this map.
  
  
• sound-bdcls
  EDF mnemonic of a sound to replace the default "bdcls" sound for this map.
  
  
• sound-bdopn
  EDF mnemonic of a sound to replace the default "bdopn" sound for this map.
  
  
• sound-dorcls
  EDF mnemonic of a sound to replace the default "dorcls" sound for this map.
  
  
• sound-doropn
  EDF mnemonic of a sound to replace the default "doropn" sound for this map.

     [START]
     levelname = Eternity Start Map
     music = romero
     creator = Derek 'Afterglow' Mac Donald
     skyname = SKY3
     levelscript = STARTSCR

Notes:

• Entries can exist for maps that do not exist; such entries will never be used.
• Any number of maps can have entries in the EMAPINFO lump.
• Only the first section defined for a map in an EMAPINFO lump will be used. If another section for the same map exists in the same lump, it will be ignored.

Since Eternity now supports global MapInfo lumps, the use of level header MapInfo is not required. It does allow for greater flexibility when combining wads, however, and ensures that a map will keep critical customized behaviors even in the presence of global MapInfo.

Note that Eternity currently only supports specification of MapInfo blocks within the level header. SMMU allowed several other blocks, including one for intertext and one for FraggleScript. Eternity does not support these blocks and will ignore them if they exist.

     [level info]
     levelname = Eternity Start Map
     music = romero
     creator = Derek 'Afterglow' Mac Donald
     skyname = SKY3
     levelscript = STARTSCR

Notes:

• If multiple [level info] sections exist in level header MapInfo, all of them will be parsed from top to bottom.

Please be aware that if your editor strips out data in the level header when saving maps, you will need to re-embed the level-specific MapInfo after each edit. This and other problems that external utilities have with data in the level header are one reason why Eternity now supports global MapInfo. Consider using it instead, or using it only during level development and then converting it to level header MapInfo if you wish.

We do not recommend use of the old add_fs utility and will not provide support for its use, since it is a DOS command-line utility and only supports wads which contain one map.

• killfinale
  This variable has the default value of "false" for all maps.
  
  
• killstats
  This variable has the default value of "false" for all maps except for maps in the "hidden" episode of Heretic (Episode 4 in registered Heretic, Episode 6 in Heretic: Shadow of the Serpent Riders) and in any higher episode. Those maps default to "true".
  
  
• levelname
  This variable has a special default for the following maps. Default values are available in the Eternity Engine DeHackEd / BEX Reference and will not be duplicated here because of space constraints.
  • DOOM maps E1M1-E1M9, E2M1-E2M9, E3M1-E3M9, E4M1-E4M9
  • DOOM II maps MAP01 - MAP32
  • Heretic maps E1M1-E1M9, E2M1-E2M9, E3M1-E3M9, E4M1-E4M9, E5M1-E5M9
  • Other maps in DOOM or DOOM II: "new level"
  • Maps in Heretic with episode 4 or higher: "hidden level"
  • Maps in Heretic: SoSR with episode 6 or higher: "hidden level"
  Note that when user wads are added, maps from new wads which do not have a DeHackEd or MapInfo level name will use "new level".
  
  
• levelpic
  This variable has the following special default values:
  • DOOM maps ExM1 - ExM9: WILVxy where x is the episode number minus 1 and y is the level number minus 1.
  • DOOM II maps MAP01 - MAP32: CWILVxy where xy is the 2-digit level number minus 1.
  This value cannot be used for Heretic maps. If the edf-intername variable is set to true, no levelpic will be drawn by the intermission. Instead, text strings defined by EDF with the proper names will be written to the screen using the large font (FONTB).
  
  
• levelscript
  This variable has no default value. If a Levelscript lump is not defined for a map, that map has no Levelscript. Attempted use of the Levelscript under that circumstance may result in error messages displayed to the player.
  
  
• leveltype
  The default value of this variable depends on the game being played:
  • DOOM (Shareware, Registered, Ultimate, DOOM II, Final): doom
  • Heretic (Shareware, Registered, SoSR) : heretic
  
  
• lightning
  This variable has the default value of "false" for all maps.
  
  
• music
  This variable has the following special default values:
  • DOOM maps E1M1-E1M9: E1M1, E1M2, E1M3... E1M9

    evil, ultima
  • Heretic maps E1M1-E1M9: E1M1, E1M2, E1M3, E1M4, E1M5, E1M6, E1M7, E1M8, E1M9
  • Heretic maps E2M1-E2M9: E2M1, E2M2, E2M3, E2M4, E1M4, E2M6, E2M7, E2M8, E2M9
  • Heretic maps E3M1-E3M9: E1M1, E3M2, E3M3, E1M6, E1M3, E1M2, E1M5, E1M9, E2M6
  • Heretic maps E4M1-E4M9: E1M6, E1M2, E1M3, E1M4, E1M5, E1M1, E1M7, E1M8, E1M9
  • Heretic maps E5M1-E5M9: E2M1, E2M2, E2M3, E2M4, E1M4, E2M6, E2M7, E2M8, E2M9
  • Heretic maps E6M1-E6M9: E3M2, E3M3, E1M6, TITL, INTR, CPTD, E1M1, E1M1, E1M1
  • Other maps: No music will be defined. An error message may be shown to the player.
  Remember that in DOOM gamemodes, a "D_" prefix is added to the music name automatically. In Heretic gamemodes, a "MUS_" prefix is added. You should NOT add the prefix yourself.
  
  
• nextlevel
  This variable has the following special default values:
  • DOOM maps ExMy: The next normal level in the episode.
  • DOOM II maps MAPxx: The next map.
  • DOOM II maps ExMy: The next numeric ExMy map.
  • Heretic maps ExMy: The next normal level in the episode.
  • Other maps: Maps outside the normal episode range will be wrapped into range if no MapInfo value is provided. This means that an E5M1 map in Ultimate DOOM would exit to E4M2 if no MapInfo value is provided. In DOOM II, the next level MUST be defined or an error will occur. Eternity allows playing of ExMy maps under DOOM II, but the levels always exit to the next level in numeric order, including secret maps and crossing episode boundaries.
    
    
• nextsecret
  This variable has the following special default values:
  • All DOOM maps: ExM9 where x is the current episode number.
  • DOOM II map 15: MAP31
  • DOOM II map 31: MAP32
  • All other DOOM II maps: repeat the same level.
  • All Heretic maps: ExM9 where x is the current episode number.
  Note: if nextsecret is defined for a map that does not normally have a secret exit, the secret map must also define its nextlevel explicitly. Otherwise, the player may become stuck in the secret level.
  
  
• partime
  This variable has the following special default values:
  • DOOM maps E1M1-E1M9: 30, 75, 120, 90, 165, 180, 180, 30, 165
  • DOOM maps E2M1-E2M9: 90, 90, 90, 120, 90, 360, 240, 30, 170
  • DOOM maps E3M1-E3M9: 90, 45, 90, 150, 90, 90, 165, 30, 135
  • DOOM II maps MAP01-MAP34:
    30, 90, 120, 120, 90, 150, 120, 120, 270, 90
    210, 150, 150, 150, 210, 150, 420, 150, 210, 150
    240, 150, 180, 150, 150, 300, 330, 420, 300, 180
    120, 30, 30, 30
  Note that par times are not supported for Ultimate DOOM episode 4 or Heretic. Even if par values are set for those maps, they will not be displayed by the intermission. Also, if DeHackEd/BEX par times are not loaded and a new map does not provide a MapInfo par time, the default par time for that map will not be displayed, since it does not apply to user-made levels.
  
  
• skydelta
  This variable has the default value "0" (zero) for all maps.
  
  
• sky2delta
  This variable has the default value "0" (zero) for all maps.
  
  
• skyname
  This variable has the following special default values:
  • DOOM Episode 1: SKY1
  • DOOM Episode 2: SKY2
  • DOOM Episode 3: SKY3
  • DOOM Episode 4: SKY4
  • All other DOOM maps: SKY4
  • DOOM II MAP01-MAP11: SKY1
  • DOOM II MAP12-MAP20: SKY2
  • All other DOOM II maps: SKY3
  • Heretic Episode 1: SKY1
  • Heretic Episode 2: SKY2
  • Heretic Episode 3: SKY3
  • Heretic Episode 4: SKY1
  • Heretic Episode 5: SKY3
  • All other Heretic maps: SKY1
  In the original engine, levels with undefined sky textures would display the AASTINKY or AASHITTY textures in the sky via a bug in the texture lookup code. This is not supported by Eternity, which always defines a suitable default sky texture for all maps.
  
  
• sky2name
  When this variable is not specified by MapInfo, the value of the normal, primary sky texture is copied to it.
  
  
• unevenlight
  This variable defaults to the value "true" for all DOOM and Heretic maps.
