4.10 Map parameters

4.10.1 chosen-map

Command-line option: --chosen-map=<value>

Environment variable: LW6_CHOSEN_MAP

XML key: chosen-map

Type: string

Default value: subflower

The last map chosen by the player, locally. This is the map which will be used for a quick-start game, a local game, or a game started as a server.

4.10.2 force

Command-line option: --force=<value>

Environment variable: LW6_FORCE

XML key: force

Type: string

Default value: respawn-team,color-conflict-mode

A comma separated list of options which should be ignored when reading map XML files. For instance, if this contains ’rounds-per-sec,moves-per-round’ then whatever values were defined for this in ’rules.xml’, then game will ignore them and use the user’s values, stored in ’config.xml’, running the game at the requested speed. This ultimately allows the player to control everything despite the values set by the map designer.

4.10.3 use-cursor-texture

Command-line option: --use-cursor-texture=<value>

Environment variable: LW6_USE_CURSOR_TEXTURE

XML key: use-cursor-texture

Type: boolean

Default value: true

Defines wether the cursor textures should be used. If unset, then the default builtin cursor texture will be used instead of the map specific one.

4.10.4 use-hints-xml

Command-line option: --use-hints-xml=<value>

Environment variable: LW6_USE_HINTS_XML

XML key: use-hints-xml

Type: boolean

Default value: true

If set, then hints will be picked up from the map defined hints.xml, if it exists. This is the default.

4.10.5 use-music-file

Command-line option: --use-music-file=<value>

Environment variable: LW6_USE_MUSIC_FILE

XML key: use-music-file

Type: boolean

Default value: true

If set, then the program will use the ’music-file’ attribute to choose the music to play. If unset, then a random builtin music will be picked up, regardless of what is specified in ’music-file’.

4.10.6 use-rules-xml

Command-line option: --use-rules-xml=<value>

Environment variable: LW6_USE_RULES_XML

XML key: use-rules-xml

Type: boolean

Default value: true

If set, then rules will be picked up from the map defined rules.xml, if it exists. This is the default. Use force-time and force-size to override this and use user-defined values anyway.

4.10.7 use-style-xml

Command-line option: --use-style-xml=<value>

Environment variable: LW6_USE_STYLE_XML

XML key: use-style-xml

Type: boolean

Default value: true

If set, then style will be picked up from the map defined style.xml, if it exists. This is the default. Use force-time and force-background to override this and use user-defined values anyway.

4.10.8 use-teams-xml

Command-line option: --use-teams-xml=<value>

Environment variable: LW6_USE_TEAMS_XML

XML key: use-teams-xml

Type: boolean

Default value: true

If set, then teams will be picked up from the map defined teams.xml, if it exists. This is the default. Use force-time and force-background to override this and use user-defined values anyway.

4.10.9 use-texture

Command-line option: --use-texture=<value>

Environment variable: LW6_USE_TEXTURE

XML key: use-texture

Type: boolean

Default value: true

Defines wether the map texture should be used. Of course if there’s no map texture, the texture... won’t be used. But if there is one, this parameter will force the game to ignore it and play with solid colors. This probably won’t look as nice as the textured map in most cases, but some players might find it more readable and confortable to play when throwing eye candy away.
