Doom Port Prboom, Control Problem

[steverowe58]

I'm on the second level and cant figure out how to get the guy to run so he can get through the open window of the brown building with the red key card in it.

I think I must be being thick, but can someone tell me what I am doing wrong?

Cheers

I can't remember if run is mapped to any button but you don't actually need to run. You can just do a strafe+jump. It's tricky but can be done.

Thanks, but I can't get the guy to jump either! Not being familiar with the original I guessed that you could not . I guess my mappings are messed up so I'll check that out. Cheers.

I've sorted this run was mapped to something obscure, so I changed it. Could not see jump anywhere, though...

You can't jump in Doom (or that is what I thought for the last 13 years or so of my life).

Doom has no jump.

yeah lol, no jumping in doom, you're thinking of quake...

Only jumping you can do, is with the new modified engines. But you were never meant to be able to jump in doom.

Oops sorry for the confusion, I didn't mean an actual jump I meant if you strafe off the ledge you'll "jump" (as in fall off, lol) a bit further so you can reach the building.

or you could just remap the auto run button to Start like I did...
