PRBoom 2.5 control issues.

[geo]

I can't get the keys to work in the Windows version of PRBoom 2.5.

It seems like S = save game, L = load, N = new game, Q = quit, but O isn't options. I downloaded it from here >> http://prboom.sourceforge.net/

Looking in the config file everything is number coded. Recoding the numbers doesn't seem to work.

Anyone else have this issue?

PRBoom-Plus seems to fix this issue.

With the possible exception of multiplayer (for which I prefer using crispy doom and a patched boom using dosbox) there is no good reason to use the original prboom. By all means use prboom-plus.

I know that isn't helpful, but regular prboom is dead. It should be avoided like the plague unless you really need it.

You didn't say but I guess you must mean the main menu shortcuts.

I can't reproduce this in my development tree (O works fine, jumps to "options" as expected) so I guess it's either fixed or a problem specific to your end. Sorry I can't be more help.

Believe it or not I still sometimes work on it. Mostly for my own edification or out of a sense of guilt, but nevertheless.

Pr+ is probably better for users though. It has more people occasionally working on it, for one thing.
