So, my problem is that when I use the mouse to look around, it also moves me forward and backward. Is there a way to turn this off?

NOVERT. If we are speaking about GOG's DOOM in the DOSBox of course.

See that topic as well.

Tried doing that, even put it in both dosbox config files. Shows up at the bottom as follows with a comma denoting the next line down: mount c .\base, c:, novert.com, doom.exe, exit. Should I put everything from mount on after doom.exe? I'm not used to getting down to the nitty gritty of my games, so any help would be appreciated.

That's strange. Are you running the Windows version of GOG's Ultimate Doom?

If you put NOVERT.COM in the same dir as DOOM.EXE, then the dosbox_doom_single.conf file should look like this:

[autoexec]
@echo off
mount c ".."
c:
cls
novert.com
doom.exe
exit

No. The commands must stay in the order they are and DOOM.EXE should always be the final one (to actually run the game after everything else is done). From the commands above you could only swap the order of cls and novert.com, but it doesn't really matter

Well, you have to master this, otherwise most of the old games would be a pain for you.

I don't see something named 'base' in my dosbox_doom_single.conf from setup_the_ultimate_doom_1.9_(28044).exe

Download the latest DOOM installer from GOG.
Navigate to the directory where doom.exe resides. There should be following files there as well: dosbox_doom.conf,
dosbox_doom_single.conf
Put novert.com into that directory.
Open dosbox_doom_single.conf with notepad and put novert.com on a line between cls and doom.exe (see attached to the post file)
Save the file.
That will make novert work.
Open dosbox_doom.conf with notepad, find string aspect=false and replace it with aspect=true (see attached to the post file)
Save the file.
That should fix ugly horizontally stretched screen. Have no idea why GOG made their dosbox config this way.

P. S. Just in case I've uploaded complete edited conf files as well: https://transfiles.ru/jwk0n

That seems to have done it. I downloaded Ultimate Doom long ago, so I guess things had changed since I did. Going to see if the same trick will work with Doom II. If so, I'm set for a long time. Thanks a bunch, my friend.

It will for sure. For the vanilla engines at least. You are welcome. )

Well, I tried putting novert.com and novert2.com into dosbox_doom2_single.conf in a number of places. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to do anything. Mouse keeps doing the vertical movement. Any ideas?
EDIT! Never mind, figured it out. Seems what you have to do is type novert.com in between c: and goto launcher at the top of the text config file. Twas a long shot, but I figured what the hey and it worked. Weirdest thing.
