Baseline (Widescreen) Solution & Issues
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
