OPTION FILE RESEARCH
  
−
== Things we know ==
+
// the "DEFAULT.OPT" file has "WRM2OPTN" in the first 7 bytes. Options created by v1.05 instead have "WRM2OPT2".
−
* WormsDC option files store all of the various settings as determined in the "OPTIONS" menu.
+
// "DEFAULT.OPT" has a different value at byte 0x1d compared to a new option file created using default settings.
−
* WormsDC option files also store which cheats were enabled when the option file was saved. For example, if the "MUSIC" cheat was entered to disable the title screen music, the option file stores this, and if the "JAMIE AND HIS MAGIC TORCH" cheat was entered, the ability to edit values for super weapons is enabled.
+
// Value for "DEFAULT.OPT" is 4c.
 +
// Value for a saved Option set is 00.
 +
// Disabling the MUSIC changes 0x9c from 14 to 1c, and 0xb6 from fe to ff.
 +
// Enabling ARTILLERY mode changes 0x9c from 14 to 54, 0xb6 from ff to fe.

UNALLOCATED BYTES

	// Bytes 0x1e through 0x21 are seemingly unused by any of the game settings.
	// It's possible these bytes were related to the CD-ROM (CUCD7) features that were never implemented.

	// Bytes 0x92, 0x93, and bytes 0x96 through 0x9b do not currently appear to be used.
