Using
Shortcut
List
| Parameter | Effects | 
|---|---|
| -best | |
| -cleansaves | |
| -debug | |
| -debugcomplete | |
| -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.[1] | 
| -ftm | This option is used by the Voodoo2 option in the game's Video Card selector program (CLGen)[2] | 
| -fvf | 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.[3] This option is used by the Savage3D option in the game's Video Card selector program (CLGen)[2] 
 | 
| -insistOnCD | Stops the game from launching unless a LEGO Rock Raiders CD is inserted into the first lettered disc drive in the computer. 
 | 
| -nm | ??? Incorrectly listed as -nom in the game's readme file.[3] | 
| -nosound | Disables all sound, including music, but excluding FMV sequence audio.[3] | 
| -programmer | |
| -reduceanimation | |
| -reduceflics | Disables the rockfall animation that plays when changing screens in the main menu. (This animation is disabled by default in the German version.) | 
| -reduceimages | |
| -reducepromeshes | Reduces the number of level of detail (LOD) meshes for objects and walls.[1] 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 ofHighPolyRangeas defined in Lego.cfg (set to60.0for 1.5 "blocks" by default). Models defined in theMediumPoly {}block, which display between theHighPolyRangedistance and theMedPolyRangedistance (100.0f or 2.5 "blocks" by default), and models defined in theFPPoly {}block, which display when the object is being controlled in first-person views, are not affected by -reducepromeshes. See the gallery below for examples.
 | 
| -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."[1] | 
| -testlevels | Unlocks all levels regardless of completion status. | 
| -window |
