The TXTRCONV lump is used to translate DOOM textures to DOOM II textures, for the purpose of playing ExMy levels under DOOM II (accessed via the map command). The format of this lump is currently very strict. The pairs of texture names must be aligned precisely, with the first texture name (<= 8 character) starting in column 0, followed by spaces up to column 16, where the second DOOM II replacement texture name must start. Only one pair must be on a line, and lines must be terminated with a line break. This lump is ASCII text. | The TXTRCONV lump is used to translate DOOM textures to DOOM II textures, for the purpose of playing ExMy levels under DOOM II (accessed via the map command).

KEYDEFS contains the engine's default key bindings. This lump is written to file as keys.csc when a file by that name cannot be found. Editing of this defaults lump is not generally desirable, but it is a simple console script, the syntax of which is expounded upon in the Eternity Engine Console Reference.
