An options file stores Worms 2 scheme options. Unlike other games, this file does not also contain weapons options; those are stored in a separate file.
As in traditional Worms 2 fashion, most of the values which could be stored within one byte are stored within four. All types are little-endian. How many of these are actually read has not been tested. Options that are more commonly known by the community under different names are listed, with the actual Worms 2 names listed in bracketed quotes.

| Offset | Size | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| 00 | 7 | char[7] | Magic number used to identify the options file. The string "OPTFILE". |
| 07 | 4 | sint32 | Round time, measured in minutes. |
| 0B | 4 | sint32 | Turn time, measured in seconds. |
| 0F | 4 | sint32 | Ground ("Worm") retreat time, measured in seconds. |
| 13 | 4 | sint32 | Rope retreat time, measured in seconds. |
| 17 | 4 | sint32 | Mine count, measured in mines. |
| 1B | 4 | sint32 | Mine fuse ("delay"), measured in seconds (or -1 for random). |
| 1F | 4 | sint32 | Nonzero if dud mines might exist. |
| 23 | 4 | sint32 | Maximum wind strength, measured in percent. |
| 27 | 4 | sint32 | Friction. 0 = default, 1-5 = low to high. |
| 2B | 4 | sint32 | Number of kills required for an action replay to trigger. |
| 2F | 4 | sint32 | Amount of damage required for an action replay to trigger. |
| 33 | 4 | sint32 | Nonzero if automatic action replays are enabled. |
| 37 | 4 | sint32 | Maximum fall damage, measured in health points. |
| 3B | 4 | sint32 | Repeat swings of the Ninja Rope, measured in swings. |
| 3F | 4 | sint32 | Nonzero if round time is displayed ingame. |
| 43 | 4 | sint32 | Land sink rate in Sudden Death, measured in pixels per turn. |
| 47 | 4 | sint32 | Nonzero if worm energy is reduced to 1 at Sudden Death ("Energy reduction"). |
| 4B | 4 | sint32 | Nonzero if an indestructible border exists around the map. |
| 4F | 4 | sint32 | Nonzero if Girder radius is restricted ("Girder restriction"). |
| 53 | 4 | sint32 | Worm selection method. Zero if worms move in sequence ("No choice"), 1 for random (?) worm selection ("CPU decides"), 2 for worm selection ("Player decides"). |
| 57 | 4 | sint32 | Nonzero if extended cursor controls are allowed in the chat box ("Extended chat box editing"). No idea why this is in scheme options but it is... |
| 5B | 4 | sint32 | Hotseat time ("Delay between turns"), measured in seconds. |
| 5F | 4 | sint32 | Nonzero if stockpiling enabled. |
| 63 | 4 | sint32 | Crate probability, measured in percent. |
| 67 | 4 | sint32 | Crate intelligence, measured in percent (intelligent crates are biased to drop closer to losing teams). |
| 6B | 4 | sint32 | Health crate energy, measured in health points. |
| 6F | 4 | sint32 | Nonzero if crates can be booby trapped. |
| 73 | 4 | sint32 | Nonzero if superweapons ("secret weapons") can appear in crates. |
| 77 | 4 | sint32 | Worm starting energy measured in health points. |
| 7B | 4 | sint32 | Nonzero if artillery mode is enabled. |
| 7F | 4 | sint32 | Nonzero if worm selection disabled in Sudden Death ("No choice worm selection") |
| 83 | 4 | sint32 | Nonzero if oil drums replace mines. Appears to have been added in the patch (on-disc schemes don't have these bytes). |
