- Create a start.bat file in the game's root directory with the following text,
- SET XEF=./XEF
- SET XOM=./XOM
- "./XOM/bin/WormsBlast.exe" /W [width] /H [height] /WIN
The /WIN parameter is very important, as it starts the game in windowed mode, which means the player can safely Aft-Tab between the windows, a feature that is otherwise broken.
Other available parameters are,
- Checking of text disabled /DONTCHECKTEXT
- Checking of text enabled /CHECKTEXT
- All maps locations enabled - this will have no effect unless the game save file has been deleted /ENABLEALLROUTES
- Map Locations Enabled /SHOWMAPLOCATIONS
- Debug Keys Disabled /DISABLEDEBUGKEYS
- Debug Keys Enabled /ENABLEDEBUGKEYS
- AI Details Enabled /ALLOWAIDETAILS
- Camera movement keys enabled /ALLOWCAMERAMOVES
- Show character radius /SHOWCHARRADIUS
- Showing direction controls /SHOWDIRECTIONS
- Setting XOM variables /SETXOMVARS
- Not setting XOM variables /NOSETXOMVARS
- Screen depth /D
- Disable hardware T&L /NOHWTL
- Enable 4 player /4PLAYER
- Hide AI calculations /NOAI
- Show AI calculations /SHOWAI
- Skip Logos /NOLOGO
- Skip frontend /NOFEND
- Bouncing blocks using box collision /BOUNCECIRCLE
- Bouncing blocks using spherical collision /BOUNCEBOX
- Hide debug menu /NODEBUGMENU
- Show debug menu /SHOWDEBUGMENU
- 3D Water /3DW
- 2D Water /2DW
- Screen height /H
- Screen width /W
- Windowed /WIN
- No Music /NOMUSIC
- No Sound /NOSOUND
- Full screen /FS
- Running in Direct3D /D3D
- Running in OpenGL /OGL
Note that the "/OGL" flag crashes the game and hence is broken.
My personal set-up is,
- SET XEF=./XEF
- SET XOM=./XOM
- "./XOM/bin/WormsBlast.exe" /NOLOGO /ENABLEALLROUTES /ENABLEDEBUGKEYS /ALLOWCAMERAMOVES /3DW /W [width] /H [height] /WIN
