  • (These DMFlags are ZDoom-specific. Zandronum DMFLAGS can be found here.)

There are 2 CVARs in ZDoom that control certain gameplay flags, namely DMFLAGS and DMFLAGS2. Most only affect Deathmatch games, hence the name, however others only affect Cooperative games and some work in all game modes.

You can set the flags via the in-game menu (OptionsGameplay options), however you can also set the options directly from the command line or console.

At the console, type "dmflags[2] XXXX", where XXXX is a number representing which flags should be toggled. This number is created by adding the values for each argument you want to use.

To make the change effective from the command line, use "+set dmflags[2] XXXX".

The following table lists each of the flags currently available, along with the values needed, which CVAR you should put that value in, and what the default state of each setting is (on or off). Contrary to how one might expect it to function, the setting is simply toggled from the default when the value is set. For example, adding 2048 to DMFLAGS turns Infinite Ammo on, however adding 131072 to DMFLAGS2 turns freelook off, since on is the default state.

In a multiplayer game, only the host can change these settings unless SV_Cheats is 1.

Note that this following table may fall out of date between versions. Always refer to ZDoom's Gameplay options menu for the correct values.
(Up-to-date as of ZDoom 2.9 pre-2175-g4f21ff2 64bit. GZDoom 3.x also shares these same DMFlags and their enumerations.)
