Devilutionx: [Question] Where can I see the available diablo.ini options?

[vanfanel]

Hi!

I have just updated my devilutionX sources and rebuilt on the Pi today, and to my surprise the game is now running widescreen! Great!
But what settings are available in diablo.ini? Is there a list somewhere? README doesn't specify those, and I have just found some settings scattered through the code...

Thanks!

The ini file will be generated with all its default options so the simplest thing to do is look there.

We consider ini settings advanced usage and as such do not provide much description or documentation, but you are welcome to submit some if you write it as you try things out.

@AJenbo Thanks! Yes, I found it creates an .ini in ~/.local/share/diasurgical/devilution/diablo.ini

Everything seems evident, but what about game speed? Seems to be ticks/second, which translates in FPS/second in-game. There is no movement interpolation so the game runs at monitor refresh (~60Hz) but gameplay keeps normal speed, right?
I mean, "game speed=0" is "as fast as possible, gameplay-wise too", right?

[AJenbo]

game speed in the ini is in ticks per seconds, there is an in game option to adjust it that allows for values between 20-50, but youu can overwrite it in the ini with even higher/lower values. but it will be capped by your refresh monitor rate.

"game speed=0" would be paused, and probably defaults back to 20. speeds above 1000 will all just run as fast as your system is capable.

Great! Now I understand every option in the default .ini :)
May I redact a guide for these and to a PR to update the README.md?

[AJenbo]

The readme is getting cramped, i would rather you create a new file, maybe call it manual.md, then we can move the controller section there as well, maybe include it withe builds
