==Essential improvements==
 +
=== Fix ALT-TAB, enable windowed mode, custom resolutions, undocumented features ===
 +
 +
{{Fixbox|description=Fix ALT-TAB, enable windowed mode, custom resolutions, undocumented features|ref=<ref>Tested by the contributor</ref>|fix=
 +
Create a start.bat file with the following text,
 +
 +
<pre>
 +
SET XEF=./XEF
 +
SET XOM=./XOM
 +
"./XOM/bin/WormsBlast.exe" /W [width] /H [height] /WIN
 +
</pre>
 +
 +
The <code>/WIN</code> 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,
 +
 +
<pre>
 +
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
 +
</pre>
 +
 +
Note that the <code>/OGL</code> flag crashes the game and hence is broken.
 +
 +
My personal set-up is,
 +
 +
<pre>
 +
SET XEF=./XEF
 +
SET XOM=./XOM
 +
"./XOM/bin/WormsBlast.exe" /NOLOGO /ENABLEALLROUTES /ENABLEDEBUGKEYS /ALLOWCAMERAMOVES /3DW /W [width] /H [height] /WIN
 +
</pre>

Essential improvements

Fix ALT-TAB, enable windowed mode, custom resolutions, undocumented features

Fix ALT-TAB, enable windowed mode, custom resolutions, undocumented features[1]

Create a start.bat file 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
