I'm stuck. . .

So I'm playing through Doom 2 for the first time via Steam and I'm stuck on Map 2 at the part where your supposed to run into the brown building full of zombie men corpses but every time I try to run and jump the gap to enter the upper levels of the buildings I always fall short. Its like my doomguy just isn't fast enough to the jump the gap. Does anyone have any suggestions that could help me?

Hold Shift to make him run faster.

Alternatively I don't know if this exists on Steam's DooM II (Or more like the original game) but there was a keybind that allowed you to keep the running button on "true" (It was a CVAR called CL_Run or something).

Fix me If I am wrong though, haven't played "vanilla" DooM II since years ago, heh.

In my one month of playing The Ultimate Doom I never knew this. Thanks guys.

But while I'm still here I might as well ask another question. How do you enable the hud that shows Doomguy's face as well as health and ammo?

The plus + sign or the negative - sgin should do that.  Grats on picking up doom... best FPS game ever.

Thanks I started with the 2016 reboot. If it weren't for that I may not have given the game the light of day it deserves.

It's nice to see people getting into the doom community and thanks god you're not using the new ports for consoles

That's the trouble with all those tricks and traps. :)

There is an option called "always run" in vanilla Doom's setup as far as I recall, which does exactly what it says. I'm not sure if it can be toggled in-game, though.

This is all just Barrels o' Fun.

I bet this will be a nice Gauntlet of puns.

This thread is quickly plunging into The Chasm.

Yeah, the Steam versions are garbo. High-key recommend a decent source port. 

Also, this thread has become Hell On Earth.

the thread fell into The Pit of bad pun jokes.

It's a Nirvana for people who enjoy puns, though!

Wow, we haven't had one of these for a long time.

Looks like this is the Entryway to the Inmost Dens of bad puns, huh.

Just wanna mythbust here: no there isn't.

There's the joyb_speed hack, but this isn't a thing available through the setup; Chocolate DOOM though, does include an autorun toggle in its setup program, probably where the confusion arose.

Well, it's been more than a decade since I touched vanilla Doom. My mistake.

At least not a mistake like new port Wolfenstein

I'm on the one where your in the city but so far I'm kinda lost on where to go. As most buildings are unable to be accessed from the ground level. I have yet to find any of the keycards. Also the reason I haven't responded in 24 hours is because I hit my max post limit.
