4.8 Map parameters

4.8.1 chosen-map

— Command-line option: --chosen-map=<value>
— Environment variable: LW6_CHOSEN_MAP
— XML key: chosen-map

The last map chosen by the player, locally. This is the map which will be used for a quick-start game, a local game, or a game started as a server.

4.8.2 force-background

— Command-line option: --force-background=<value>
— Environment variable: LW6_FORCE_BACKGROUND
— XML key: force-background

If set, entries in style.xml (map specific file) which are background related won't be picked from the map, but overriden by user-defined values. Allows you to use your own background settings while keeping other parameters the same.

4.8.3 force-hud

— Command-line option: --force-hud=<value>
— Environment variable: LW6_FORCE_HUD
— XML key: force-hud

If set, entries in style.xml (map specific file) which are hud related won't be picked from the map, but overriden by user-defined values. Allows you to use your own hud settings while keeping other parameters the same.

4.8.4 force-menu

— Command-line option: --force-menu=<value>
— Environment variable: LW6_FORCE_MENU
— XML key: force-menu

If set, entries in style.xml (map specific file) which are menu related won't be picked from the map, but overriden by user-defined values. Allows you to use your own menu settings while keeping other parameters the same.

4.8.5 force-size

— Command-line option: --force-size=<value>
— Environment variable: LW6_FORCE_SIZE
— XML key: force-size

If set, entries in options.xml (map specific file) which are size-related won't be picked from the map, but overriden by user-defined values. This allows you to change only the size of the map, the number of fighters on it, without altering other parameters.

4.8.6 force-team-colors

— Command-line option: --force-team-colors=<value>
— Environment variable: LW6_FORCE_TEAM_COLORS
— XML key: force-team-colors

If set, then team colors won't be picked from the map (in style.xml) but user-defined values will be used instead.

4.8.7 force-time

— Command-line option: --force-time=<value>
— Environment variable: LW6_FORCE_TIME
— XML key: force-time

If set, entries in options.xml (map specific file) which are time-related won't be picked from the map, but overriden by user-defined values. This allows you to change only the speed/duration of the game without altering other parameters.

4.8.8 force-view

— Command-line option: --force-view=<value>
— Environment variable: LW6_FORCE_VIEW
— XML key: force-view

If set, entries in style.xml (map specific file) which are view related won't be picked from the map, but overriden by user-defined values. Allows you to use your own view settings while keeping other parameters the same. Reminder: in LW6 the view is the map, the area you're playing on.

4.8.9 use-map-options

— Command-line option: --use-map-options=<value>
— Environment variable: LW6_USE_MAP_OPTIONS
— XML key: use-map-options

If set, then options will be picked up from the map defined options.xml, if it exists. This is the default. Use force-time and force-size to override this and use user-defined values anyway.

4.8.10 use-map-style

— Command-line option: --use-map-style=<value>
— Environment variable: LW6_USE_MAP_STYLE
— XML key: use-map-style

If set, then style will be picked up from the map defined options.xml, if it exists. This is the default. Use force-time and force-background to override this and use user-defined values anyway.
