Tyrian
Codes
Command Line Parameters
To use these codes go to your Tyrian directory in a DOS prompt and type "file0001" followed by one of these parameters
Effect Code Alternate method of selecting items in the upgrade menu. NOROBERT Constant death mode. Your ship explodes when you enter a level but it keeps scrolling until the end. For testing purposes. DEATH Disables joystick detection. NOJOY Disables sound effects, but not music. NOSOUND Enables christmas mode in 2.01 only. A lot of the ships and weapons have their graphics changed to a christmas theme. YESXMAS Fixes problems with GUS MIDI. ULTRAMID Force Tyrian or SETUP to set the card's main volume to maximum if it is able to instead of reading the current value. MAXVOL Forces Tyrian not to wait for a retrace (enabled by default if Windows is detected). FLICKER Forces Tyrian to average the signals coming from the joystick. WEAKJOY Forces Tyrian to send keys to the BIOS just in case some other device driver needs input. It still uses the keyboard input driver, though. NOKEY Instead of typing (SQUARE) hold down alt and type 254 on the numeric keypad and a square will appear. This will start your games with 1 million credit LOOT(SQUARE) Makes your ship fire continuously while sweeping from side to side. Press C to toggle invincibility. For testing purposes. CONSTANT Network border mode (apparently useless). BORDER Records every level played and saves the last one to DEMOREC.? (? being a number in sequential order of the demo being recorded). RECORD Sets joystick sensitivity to maximum. MAXJOY Type "setup.exe JUKEBOX" instead of "file0001.exe JUKEBOX" to use this one. Goes straight to setup.exe's jukebox, hitting escape exits to DOS. JUKEBOX Works like MAXVOL. VOLUME Contributed By: Skye7707.
