Command Line Parameters

To use these codes go to your Tyrian directory in a DOS prompt and type "file0001" followed by one of these parameters

	Code	Effect
	NOROBERT	Alternate method of selecting items in the upgrade menu.
	DEATH	Constant death mode. Your ship explodes when you enter a level but it keeps scrolling until the end. For testing purposes.
	NOJOY	Disables joystick detection.
	NOSOUND	Disables sound effects, but not music.
	YESXMAS	Enables christmas mode in 2.01 only. A lot of the ships and weapons have their graphics changed to a christmas theme.
	ULTRAMID	Fixes problems with GUS MIDI.
	MAXVOL	Force Tyrian or SETUP to set the card's main volume to maximum if it is able to instead of reading the current value.
	FLICKER	Forces Tyrian not to wait for a retrace (enabled by default if Windows is detected).
	WEAKJOY	Forces Tyrian to average the signals coming from the joystick.
	NOKEY	Forces Tyrian to send keys to the BIOS just in case some other device driver needs input. It still uses the keyboard input driver, though.
	LOOT(SQUARE)	Instead of typing (SQUARE) hold down alt and type 254 on the numeric keypad and a square will appear. This will start your games with 1 million credit
	CONSTANT	Makes your ship fire continuously while sweeping from side to side. Press C to toggle invincibility. For testing purposes.
	BORDER	Network border mode (apparently useless).
	RECORD	Records every level played and saves the last one to DEMOREC.? (? being a number in sequential order of the demo being recorded).
	MAXJOY	Sets joystick sensitivity to maximum.
	JUKEBOX	Type "setup.exe JUKEBOX" instead of "file0001.exe JUKEBOX" to use this one. Goes straight to setup.exe's jukebox, hitting escape exits to DOS.
	VOLUME	Works like MAXVOL.
