Mouse Sensitivity Conversion

Mouse acceleration must be disabled in each source port.

Vanilla/Chocolate/Crispy/Eternity Engine to Woof!

woof = vanilla = chocolate = crispy = eternity

DSDA-Doom to Woof!

woof_turn   = (mouse_sensitivity_horiz + dsda_fine_sensitivity / 100) * 5 / 4 - 5
woof_look   = mouse_sensitivity_mlook * 5 / 4 - 5
woof_strafe = (mouse_sensitivity_horiz + dsda_fine_sensitivity / 100) * 5 / movement_mousestrafedivisor - 5
woof_move   = mouse_sensitivity_vert * 5 / 4 - 5

GZDoom to Woof!

// GZDoom mouse strafing and vertical movement have unknown behavior.

woof_turn = m_sensitivity_x * m_yaw * 20 - 5
woof_look = m_sensitivity_y * m_pitch * 20 - 5

Odamex to Woof!

// Odamex mouse strafing and vertical movement vary by framerate due to rounding error.

woof_turn = mouse_sensitivity * m_yaw * 40 - 5
woof_look = mouse_sensitivity * m_pitch * 20 - 5

Equivalent Sensitivities

The config values listed below produce equivalent sensitivities across each source port. The results are similar to Chocolate Doom's default settings.
