Command Lines List

[DragonsLover]

By checking into the UnSafeDisced DKII.exe file, I could see the list of command lines and cheat codes. The cheat codes are as usual, mentioned into the Cheats/Game help/Guides topic, but about the command lines, there's nothing about that. So, here's the list I have found that could surely be useful. Note that I tested them and some are still unknown.

X means that it requires a value after the command line, and texts between quotes mean it affects the Registry data of the same name.

-ENABLEFILEPATCHING : Allows to use the extracted WAD files instead of the compressed ones
-LOGOOS : Enables logging of Out of sync (?)
-PMESH X : Defines "PMesh Reduction Level"
-NOCHECKSUM : Disables CheckSum

-CHEAPLIGHTING X : Defines "Cheap Lighting" (1 = Yes, 0 = No)
-LOWRESTEXTURES : Defines "High Res Textures" to 0

-DISABLEGAMMA : Corrects screen tinting and colour corruption caused by the mouse cursor
-EHEAP X : Defines Engine Heap Size in Mb

I didn't know about your old post Mefisto. I didn't noticed it.

Pretty sure -LOGOOS enables logging of out of sync, probably for packets on multiplayer

[DragonsLover]

Interesting. Thanks for the info!

-PSAVE takes a filename as an argument, if it is not present it will crash the game. It uses the filename you supply to save something called a packetrecord to that file. For instance -PSAVE blah will make a new folder in your DKII folder called "PacketRecord" and in that folder it will create a file "blah.sav" I'm not convinced this has anything to do with multiplayer though...

[DragonsLover]

Nice! So, it could be possible to record videos that way. Thanks for the information!

-DDD has something to do with the display. Haven't traced it completely but it's used during DirectDraw setup
