Manual in console
I wanted a berserk, so I typed “give berserk” in console, and nothing happened. I tried “help give,” and there was no such thing. Writing simply “give” resulted in message “give items.” Not much helpful. Eventually I had to go to DR wiki. I thought that it would be much easier if console had some built-in help. For instance, for give and summon it would list all the things I can get or summon.
(By the way, I was puzzled by the fact that Doom Retro wouldn’t give me berserk, and I had to actually summon it. Why give is limited only to a few things?)
This is a good idea. I'll work on displaying expanded descriptions (that is, more descriptive than those displayed when entering the cvarlist and cmdlist cmds) when cvars and cmds are entered without any values.
Also, yes, I'll allow the give cmd to give the range of powerups as well, and perhaps allow cmds like give 50 shells.
The give cmd will now give the player anything that can be picked up. See commit c23f2601677cb7cef6b59e36e46c5bd8520ed350.
“Give x items” would definitely be a good thing. Although, as a player I might not need it as much as a tester.
