-flags
-fpslock	Locks the game's framerate to the monitor's refresh rate when running in a window. By default the game runs uncapped in windowed mode, and locks automatically in fullscreen.
-ftm	"Force texture management". The game's readme file claims this option "makes you [sic] videocard use all available texture memory". This option is used by the Voodoo2 option in the game's Video Card selector program (CLGen)
-fvf	"Force vertex fog". Forces distance fog in first-person views. Fog is enabled by default on certain video cards (including those emulated by dgVoodoo), but does not work on others unless forced by the -fvf parameter. This option is used by the Savage3D option in the game's Video Card selector program (CLGen) Fog disabled Fog enabled with -fvf
-insistOnCD	Stops the game from launching unless a LEGO Rock Raiders CD is inserted into the first lettered disc drive in the computer. A no CD error message
-nm	??? Incorrectly listed as -nom in the game's readme file.
-nosound	Disables all sound, including music, but excluding FMV sequence audio.
-programmer
-reduceanimation	Disables the rockfall animation that plays when changing screens in the main menu. (This animation is disabled by default in the German version.)
-reduceflics	Disables all FLIC animations, such as the random animations on the game's main menu and Chief's animation on the mission scoring screen.
-reduceimages
-reducepromeshes	Reduces the number of level of detail (LOD) meshes for objects and surfaces in first-person mode. For objects, this only affects parts listed with a ! prefix in the object's AE file. For instance, in the Rock Raider (Pilot) AE file, only parts in the HighPoly {} block uses the ! prefix (eg, !vlphead   hphead), so these will be disabled while parts listed in MediumPoly {} and FPPoly {} will not be. For wall and floor meshes, this functions the same as setting Wall Detail to Low in Advanced Options. A first-person view with -reducepromeshes disabled The same view with -reducepromeshes enabled The Rock Raider's HighPoly {} models are not loaded with -reducepromeshes enabled, while its MediumPoly {} models are The controlled Rock Raider's head, visible in "shoulder view", still uses the model defined in the AE file
-reducesamples
-showversion	Displays the game's version number (V.0.121) in the bottom-right corner of the screen while on the main menu, the load/save screen, the level select screens, and the pause/options menu.
-startlevel
-testercall	Identical functionality to -testlevels. Intended to sound like "testicle"; programmer and level designer Karl White, who added this parameter, said in 2010 that it "was never, ever, ever meant to see the light of day."
-testlevels	Unlocks all levels regardless of completion status. Games saved while this parameter is active will return to default unlock behaviour if loaded while it is disabled.
