General DeHackEd Information
What is DeHackEd?
DeHackEd with BOOM Extensions (BEX) is a form of text script for modifying various aspects
of the DOOM engine. Originally, DeHackEd patches were used by the DeHackEd program to
modify the DOOM.EXE file itself. Now, modern source ports provide alternative methods
of use.
Eternity allows use of DeHackEd files via the -deh command-line parameter, via GFS files, and
as a text lump called "DEHACKED" in wad files. Eternity can also specify up to two DeHackEd
patches which are always added at start-up in its configuration file. Starting with Eternity
Engine v3.31 public beta 5, DeHackEd/BEX files can also be included by EDF modules.
DeHackEd allows editing of things, frames, codepointers, ammo and weapon data, cheats,
miscellaneous settings, and text strings. Through BEX and Eternity extensions, support
has also been added for a cleaner form of text substitution, default level par times,
a more powerful method of codepointer editing, helper thing type editing, and better
support for substitution of sprite, sound, and music names.
DeHackEd does NOT support the addition or deletion of any of these elements, however.
It is limited to the number and order of entries as they exist in the source port.
For information on how Eternity addresses this problem via the EDF system, see the
EDF Documentation.

General Syntax
White-space, empty lines, and unrecognized tokens are ignored outside of any block, and
the DeHackEd parser is in general very forgiving.
Comments can be provided for your own benefit, or for that of other editors. Comments
start with a pound sign (#) and extend to the end of the line.
Example:
# This is a commentNote that comments are not allowed within some blocks, including several of the BEX extension blocks. It is best to keep all comments outside of blocks for this reason.
Patch File for DeHackEd v3.0
# Note: Use the pound sign ('#') to start comment lines.
Doom version = 21
Patch format = 6
However, none of this information is needed or used by Eternity in any way, and it is
discarded as unrecognized text. You do not need to include any header information in your
own files. Note that the patch version information is important for old patches in that
it will tell you whether or not Eternity can use the file. Patches of format other than
6 are not guaranteed to work, and Eternity does NOT support the older, obsolete binary
patch format.
BEX Extension: INCLUDE Directive
To include a DEH or BEX file in another one, put one or more of the following lines in
your BEX file:
INCLUDE filename INCLUDE NOTEXT filenameFilename must be specified in full, including a path if it's not going to be in the current directory, and including its .deh or .bex extension. It is better by far to ship a file completely self-contained, but you can use this during testing and development, or to adjust existing patches for your own use.
Thing Block
Things: Description
The DeHackEd Thing block allows you to edit the properties of DOOM's map object
types. Map objects are what comprise anything you see with a sprite in DOOM,
including enemies, powerups, missiles, decorations, and invisible control objects.
Eternity provides several extensions to the DeHackEd thing block, some of which
are considered part of the BEX standard specification. Extended fields will be noted
as such in their descriptions.
Return to Table of Contents
Things: Syntax
A brief explanation of the syntax description:
Items in angle brackets (< >) are required.
Items in square brackets ([ ]) are optional.
All fields in the block are optional. If a field is not provided, that value of the
thing being edited will not change.
A || symbol means that the field can have one of the two listed types of values.
Thing <dehacked number> [(thing type name)] ID # = <number> Initial frame = <frame number> Hit points = <number> First moving frame = <frame number> Alert sound = <sound number> Reaction time = <number> Attack sound = <sound number> Injury frame = <frame number> Pain chance = <number> Pain sound = <sound number> Close attack frame = <frame number> Far attack frame = <frame number> Death frame = <frame number> Exploding frame = <frame number> Death sound = <sound number> Speed = <number> Width = <number> Height = <number> Mass = <number> Missile damage = <number> Action sound = <sound number> # The ability to provide flag lists is a BEX extension Bits = <number || flag list> Respawn frame = <frame number> # The below fields are Eternity Engine extensions Bits2 = <number || flag list> Bits3 = <number || flag list> Translucency = <number> Blood color = <number>Explanation of special information:
damage = ((rnd % 8) + 1) * missiledamage
This field is also used as a parameter by some new, parameterized codepointers,
including BetaSkullAttack and Detonate.
Thing 2 (Trooper)
Translucency = 32768
Trooper objects will be 50% translucent in this example, since 32768 is half of
65536. Note this effect is mutually exclusive of BOOM-style translucency. If this
value is not 65536, and the BOOM translucency flag is turned on, the flag will be
turned off at run-time, and this field will take precedence.
Blood color Number

Red (normal) 0
Grey 1
Green 2
Blue 3
Yellow 4
Black 5
Purple 6

BEX Extension: Thing Flag Lists
This is actually something you can use to hack your DeHackEd file to be more understandable
and modifiable. Note that once you do this you won't be able to bring it back into DeHackEd.
If you've altered a thing's bits at all, you'll see a line like:
Bits = 205636102That horrible number is why we are providing some mnemonics instead. All you need to do is to put the appropriate ones of the following mnemonics on the line where the big number is, and it'll be read in and converted to the number for you. Some valid example lines:
Bits = SOLID+SHOOTABLE+NOBLOOD ... Bits = NOBLOCKMAP | NOGRAVITY ... Bits = SPECIAL, COUNTITEMwhich converts to Bits = 524294 but you didn't have to figure that part out. Just use a plus, '|', comma, or whitespace between the mnemonics. Below are mnemonic lists, along with a bit of explanation of each, and the phrase that's used in Dehacked to describe them. If there are any disagreements between the 2 definitions, ours wins.

Eternity provides limited support for old DeHackEd-style text substitution. This method

compatible. This section has been deprecated by the BEX [STRINGS] block,
and by the Eternity [MUSIC], [SOUNDS], and
[SPRITES] blocks. Do not use this block in new files!
Eternity performs old DeHackEd-style text substitution by searching through the game's
BEX string table for a string with a matching value. If no such string can be found, the
substitution is discarded. Many strings which existed in DOOM are no longer available in
Eternity.

Sprite Block (Obsolete)
Sprites: Obsoletion Info
The DeHackEd sprite string redirection method is not supported by the BEX specification or
by Eternity. The syntax of this block was as follows:
Sprite <sprite number> Offset = <pointer>This allowed the sprite name order to be rearranged, but could also allow the game to be crashed or corrupted very easily. For this reason and others, this feature is unsupported. Any sprite blocks will be ignored.
BEX Extension: [STRINGS] Block
[STRINGS]: Description
The basic Dehacked file is understood and properly evaluated to change such things as sounds,
frame rewiring, Thing attributes, etc. No change is required to the original .deh file for
those things. However, text is handled differently in BEX for several reasons:
[STRINGS]: Syntax
To use BEX string support, start the section with a [STRINGS] section marker,
followed by lines that start with the key mnemonic, an equal sign, and the value to assign
to that string. You may split the value to be assigned onto multiple lines by ending each
line that is to be continued with a backslash. Don't put quotes around the string if you
don't want them to show up in the result. A couple of examples:
# Change the level name that shows up in the automap for MAP12:
[STRINGS]
HUSTR_12 = The Twelfth Night
# and now the new red key message for switches
PD_REDO = You need the scarlet pimpernel to \
turn on this machine.
# Note that the blank before the backslash is included in the string
# but that the indentation before the word "turn" is not, allowing
# the change file to be easy to read.

BEX Extension: [PARS] Block
[PARS]: Description
The [PARS] Block allows editing of par times for standard ExMy and MAPxy levels in
DOOM and DOOM II. Ultimate DOOM Episode 4 is not supported, nor is Heretic.
Return to Table of Contents
[PARS]: Syntax
Insert the following block in your BEX file, using one or more of the par lines depending
on if you want to alter them for DOOM 1 or DOOM 2.
[PARS] par <e> <m> <p> par <m> <p><e> is the episode number, <m> is the map number, and <p> is the par time, in seconds. A cleaner example:
[PARS] par 1 1 250 par 1 2 300 par 30 1000You may have as many par times listed as you wish in the pars block.
BEX Extension: [CODEPTR] Block
[CODEPTR]: Description
The [CODEPTR] block provides a new, clean, and more powerful method of changing the
codepointer (aka action) field of frames.
The [CODEPTR] block is a list of frames, each of which has assigned to it a codepointer
mnemonic. Codepointer mnemonics are symbolic names for the action functions they represent,
and any mnemonic can be assigned to any frame, even frames that have a zero pointer. This was
not allowed in DeHackEd.
BEX also provides a new NULL mnemonic, which allows zeroing of frames which have a
codepointer in them already. This also was not allowed under DeHackEd, for reasons unknown.
Return to Table of Contents
[CODEPTR]: Syntax
Insert this block into your BEX file:
[CODEPTR] Frame nn = <mnemonic> ...Any number of frames may be listed, one per line.
Pointer 93 (Frame 196) Codep Frame = 176Output from Eternity in the DEHOUT.TXT file, when -dehout parameter is used:
Line='Pointer 93 (Frame 196)'
Processing function [2] for Pointer
Processing Pointer at index 196: Frame
- applied 1c53c from codeptr[176] to states[196]
BEX [CODEPTR] -> FRAME 196 = Chase
You could then use this in the [CODEPTR] block of a BEX file
instead of the Dehacked lines, making it much more clear
that in frame 196 you expect the monster to Chase the player:
FRAME 196 = ChaseIn addition, you can now put any code pointer into any frame, whereas Dehacked is limited to replacing only the existing ones.
Eternity Extension: [HELPER] Block
[HELPER]: Description
This block can be used to specify the type of thing the player will get for
friendly helpers by using the -dogs command-line option. Rather than rewiring
the MT_DOGS thing to make it emulate other enemies, you may now make this
simple two-line substitution.
Return to Table of Contents
[HELPER] type = <thingnum><thingnum> is the DeHackEd number of the thing type you want to replace the dogs. If this value is out of range, dogs will spawn and a warning message will be posted to the player. It may be desirable to edit the height and radii of most things to make them work better as helpers Note that the dog jumping options also affect any helper substitute, and that all friendly things of the helper type are allowed to jump down to follow the player.
Eternity Extension: [SPRITES] Block
[SPRITES]: Description
In Ty Halderman's change log he noted that sprite, sound, and music renaming should be
implemented as separate blocks. Up until now, it has only been possible to replace these
strings with the old DeHackEd-style text blocks, which are impractical to use and have
limitations.
The SPRITES block can change the 4-letter prefix of any sprite type.
Return to Table of Contents
[SPRITES] <mnemonic> = <string>The <mnemonic> to use is the normal sprite name. That is, if you want to rename the sprite that's normally named TROO, you use the mnemonic TROO, even if TROO has already been changed to a new string. Changing the sprite names will not change their corresponding mnemonics.
Eternity Extension: [SOUNDS] Block
[SOUNDS]: Description
The SOUNDS block can change the name of any sound.
Return to Table of Contents
[SOUNDS] <mnemonic> = <string>The <mnemonic> to use is the EDF sound mnemonic defined for the sound you wish to replace. The string to provide is the new lump name for that sound. If you want to rename the sound that's normally named PISTOL, you use the mnemonic PISTOL. Changing the sound lump names will not change their corresponding mnemonics. <string> must be from 1 to 8 characters long, or the substitution will not occur.
Eternity Extension: [MUSIC] Block
[MUSIC]: Description
The MUSIC block can change the name of any music lump used by the game.
Return to Table of Contents
[MUSIC] <mnemonic> = <string>The <mnemonic> to use is the normal music name, minus the "D_" that is normally appended to wad lumps. That is, if you want to rename the music that's normally named D_ROMERO, you use the mnemonic ROMERO, even if ROMERO has already been changed to a new string. Changing the music names will not change their corresponding mnemonics. <string> must be from 1 to 6 characters long, or the substitution will not occur.
BEX String Mnemonics Table
Note:
If the original initial value is longer than about 40 characters,
the string will have been truncated and will have an ellipsis (...)
after the closing double-quote. There should be enough in the part
that is shown to recognize it.
If a string has C language printf() characters in it, such as %s or %d,
you should be sure that your replacement string either contains the
same ones in the same order, or that you leave them out of your string.
If that confuses you, you need to learn C or leave 'em alone <g>.
Some trailing linefeeds have been removed for clarity, though \n in
the middle of a string indicates an internal linefeed and your
replacement can do likewise.

Part 10 - NEW: OBITUARIES
These are the built-in obituary strings, which are new to Eternity. They are shown to
the player when he/she dies in certain ways. Note that obituaries for enemy kills are

Sound Table
This is a current list of the default sounds defined by sounds.edf. The number by each
sound is the number that is used in Thing blocks and elsewhere to call for this sound by
number (also known as its sound DeHackEd number). Note: Heretic sounds have not been
standardized yet and thus are not listed here. You should not attempt to use them until
they have been documented.
