Options file (first generation)

(Up to File formats)

WormsDC saves its option sets as .OPT files, which store basic game settings such as round time and starting worm health alongside weapon-specific information such as ammo, power and crate frequency.

Despite WormsDC having options to determine the frequency of terrain styles, these settings are not saved in the .OPT files or retained across play sessions. This is likely due to WormsDC's unique feature of allowing custom terrain styles.

WormsDC .OPT files will also recall which cheats have been enabled and disabled at the time of saving. Some cheats do not take instant effect despite being enabled by selecting the option set, which can lead to errors such as the MUSIC cheat glitch.
