-dualmouse
-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 disabled Fog enabled with -fvf 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. Note that for objects, this only affects the models linked to in the HighPoly {} block (if one exists) in an object's AE file; any models linked here will display in place of the default models when viewed in first-person mode within the distance of HighPolyRange as defined in Lego.cfg (set to 60.0f or 1.5 "blocks" by default). Models defined in the MediumPoly {} block, which display between the HighPolyRange distance and the MedPolyRange distance (100.0f or 2.5 "blocks" by default), and models defined in the FPPoly {} block, which display when the object is being controlled in first-person views, are not affected by -reducepromeshes. See the gallery below for examples. -reducepromeshes disabled -reducepromeshes disabled -reducepromeshes enabled -reducepromeshes enabled MediumPoly {} LODs are not affected, as can be seen with two of the Rock Raiders further away from the player. MediumPoly {} LODs are not affected, as can be seen with two of the Rock Raiders further away from the player. The controlled Rock Raider's head, visible in "shoulder view", still uses the model defined in FPPoly {} The controlled Rock Raider's head, visible in "shoulder view", still uses the model defined in FPPoly {}
-reducesamples
-showversion	Displays the game's version number (V.0.121) in the bottom-right corner of the screen while on the main menu and in 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.
