+ | [[Image:OpenXcom options screen.gif|right|thumb]] |
+ | OpenXcom has a variety of game settings that can be customized through the Options screen in the Main Menu. These options are global and take effect instantly after pressing OK. Most of the options are self-explanatory, but just in case you can get more details on these sections: |
||
+ | * [[Video Options (OpenXcom)|Video]] |
||
− | OpenXcom has a variety of game settings that can be customized through the Options screen in the Main Menu: |
||
+ | * [[Audio Options (OpenXcom)|Audio]] |
||
+ | * [[Controls (OpenXcom)|Controls]] |
||
+ | * [[Mods (OpenXcom)|Mods]] |
||
+ | == Options File == |
||
− | * '''Display Resolution:''' Resolution the game is rendered at. Note that the game always renders at 320x200 (original DOS resolution) and resizes to whatever you specify, so for a better picture use a resolution with the same ratio. 640x400 or 640x480 (if you like non-square pixels) are recommended. Use the arrows to scroll through the resolutions supported by your monitor, or click on the numbers to type in your own resolution. If you screw it up, use ''Restore Defaults'' or delete your ''options.cfg'' file (see below) to reset your settings. |
||
− | * '''Display Mode:''' Display the game in a window or covering the whole screen. Windowed mode is recommended as monitors usually don't properly support OpenXcom's lo-fi nature in fullscreen. |
||
− | * '''Music Volume:''' The volume of the background music (0 is mute, 1 is lowest, 4 is highest). |
||
− | * '''SFX Volume:''' The volume of the sound effects (0 is mute, 1 is lowest, 4 is highest). |
||
− | * '''Language:''' Change the language used to display all the game text. |
||
+ | For the more advanced among you, OpenXcom stores its options in a ''options.cfg'' YAML file stored in the [[Installing (OpenXcom)#User Folder|User folder]], which can be easily edited with any text editor. You can also pass them as command line arguments in the form "-<option name> <option value>". These include the options shown in the Options screen as well as other advanced options. |
||
− | == Display Filter == |
||
+ | '''WARNING:''' Invalid values can cause incorrect behaviour or game crashes. Options that accept true/false are marked by "When enabled", options that accept a range of numbers have this listed in brackets after their description, and options that accept a numeric flag have bullets to describe the functionality of each option. |
||
− | By default OpenXcom just resizes the screen to fit the resolution, maintaining pixel accuracy as in the original game, but a variety of [[:Wikipedia:Image scaling|image scaling]] filters can be applied to change the image quality or apply smoothing and emulation effects: |
||
− | * '''Scale''': Smooths out edges, making the game look less pixelated. This setting is only compatible with 320x200, 640x400 and 960x600 resolutions. |
||
− | * '''HQX''': Similar to '''Scale''', but more accurate and high-quality. This setting is only compatible with 320x200, 640x400 and 960x600 resolutions. |
||
− | * '''CRT (OpenGL)''': Mimics a CRT monitor by adding interlaced lines and simulating a rounded display. |
||
− | * '''CRT-interlaced (OpenGL)''': Mimics a CRT monitor by adding interlaced lines and simulating a rounded display. |
||
− | * '''CRT-simple (OpenGL)''': Mimics a CRT monitor by adding interlaced lines and simulating a rounded display. |
||
− | * '''Curvature (OpenGL)''': Simulates a rounded display. |
||
− | * '''dot_n_bloom (OpenGL)''' Applies both a dot grid effect and a bloom effect. |
||
− | * '''heavybloom (OpenGL)''': Applies a very heavy bloom effect. |
||
− | * '''HQ2X (OpenGL)''': A double-scale version of '''HQX''', which smoothes pixel edges, but not quite to the extreme of '''HQX'''. |
||
− | * '''Openxcom (OpenGL)''': Smooths rough edges while maintaining a semi-pixellated feel similar to the original X-Com. (default) |
||
− | * '''Phosphor-simple (OpenGL)''' Applies a dot grid effect. |
||
− | * '''Pixellate (OpenGL)''': Default pixel-accurate behaviour, but using OpenGL. |
||
− | * '''SABR (OpenGL)''': Applies texel-based smoothing to the display. |
||
− | * '''Scale4xHQ (OpenGL)''': A quadruple-scale version of '''HQX''', which results in a more subtle smoothing of pixel edges. |
||
− | * '''simplebloom (OpenGL)''': Applies a bloom effect. |

Revision as of 21:14, 27 September 2015
OpenXcom has a variety of game settings that can be customized through the Options screen in the Main Menu. These options are global and take effect instantly after pressing OK. Most of the options are self-explanatory, but just in case you can get more details on these sections:
Options File
For the more advanced among you, OpenXcom stores its options in a options.cfg YAML file stored in the User folder, which can be easily edited with any text editor. You can also pass them as command line arguments in the form "-<option name> <option value>". These include the options shown in the Options screen as well as other advanced options.
WARNING: Invalid values can cause incorrect behaviour or game crashes. Options that accept true/false are marked by "When enabled", options that accept a range of numbers have this listed in brackets after their description, and options that accept a numeric flag have bullets to describe the functionality of each option.
Option | Description | Default |
---|---|---|
General | ||
autosave | When enabled, the game is autosaved every ten Geoscape days and five Battlescape turns to dedicated slots. | true |
autosaveFrequency | Autosaves the game every X amount of Battlescape turns. | 5 |
captureMouse | When enabled, the mouse cursor is locked to the window. | false |
changeValueByMouseWheel | The amount to increase/decrease a value when scrolling the mouse wheel over increase/decrease buttons. | 0 |
cursorInBlackBandsInFullscreen cursorInBlackBandsInWindow |
When enabled, the mouse cursor can move into the black bands added by letterboxing. |
false |
debug | When enabled, provides features to make it easier for developers/contributors to debug their work. See Debug Mode. | false |
debugUi | When enabled, shows text borders in UI elements to make it easier for developers/translators to debug their work. | false |
dragScrollTimeTolerance | Amount of milliseconds the mouse needs to be pressed to trigger a Drag Scroll. | 300 |
dragScrollPixelTolerance | Amount of pixels the mouse needs to be moved after pressing to trigger a Drag Scroll. | 10 |
FPS | Limits the game to this many frames per second. Doesn't apply when Vsync is used. | 60 |

maximizeInfoScreens | When enabled, info screens are always shown at the original resolution instead of using the base resolution setting. | false |
mousewheelSpeed | Specifies the amount of lines scrolled by the mousewheel. | 3 |
newSeedOnLoad | When enabled, uses a new seed for the random number generator instead of the one saved to a save file. The game saves the seed of its random number generator to the save files, so normally a shot's result is the same even if the saved game is reloaded. With a new seed the game re-randomises a shot's chance of success. | false |
pauseMode | Controls how the game behaves when it loses focus (eg. minimized or alt-tabbed).
|
0 |
playIntro | When enabled, plays the intro cinematic on startup. | true |

baseXResolution
baseYResolution |
The game's base resolution in pixels, you can think of it as the "viewport", so changing this would let you see more of the Geoscape/Battlescape at once. | 320
200 |
borderless | When enabled, the game is displayed without a window frame when playing in windowed mode. | false |
displayWidth
displayHeight |
Display resolution in pixels. The game will scale the base resolution to fit this value, so it should be greater than or equal to baseXResolution x baseYResolution. | 640
400 |
fullscreen | When enabled, the game will run in fullscreen mode as opposed to windowed mode.
NOTE: The display might become distorted or clipped in fullscreen if your device doesn't support the specified resolution. |
false |
keepAspectRatio | When enabled, letterboxes the display to maintain the original aspect ratio. | false |
nonSquarePixelRatio | When enabled, emulates non-square pixels (as explained here). | false |
maxFrameSkip | Specifies the maximum amount of frames the game can skip rendering. | 0 |
windowedModePositionX
windowedModePositionY |
When running in windowed mode, forces the game window to start in the specified position in pixels. Use -1 to have the OS decide the window position. | -1
-1 |
useHQXFilter | When enabled, applies a rendering filter that smoothes out diagonal edges, making the game look less pixelated. This setting is only compatible with 320x200, 640x400 and 960x600 resolutions, and useOpenGL must be disabled. | false |
useScaleFilter | When enabled, passes the game through a software Scale2x filter. This option achieves similar results to useHQXFilter but with less overhead and slightly less quality. This setting is only compatible with 320x200, 640x400 and 960x600 resolutions, and useOpenGL must be disabled. | false |
useOpenGL | When enabled, uses OpenGL hardware rendering and enables the following OpenGL options: | false |
checkOpenGLErrors | When enabled, logs all errors returned by OpenGL. | false |
useOpenGLShader | Selects which GLSL rendering filter to apply when the useOpenGL option is enabled. This option takes a path relative to the OpenXcom Data Folder as an argument. OpenXcom comes packaged with some filters in the data\Shaders folder which are described earlier in Display Filter. | Shaders/Openxcom.OpenGL.shader |
useOpenGLSmoothing | When enabled, the game will use linear interpolation instead of nearest-neighbour pixel scaling when no shader is specified. | true |
vSyncForOpenGL | When enabled, puts OpenGL into vertical synchronisation mode, ensuring the FPS do not exceed your monitor's refresh rate, preventing tearing and excessive hardware demand, but may cause slower animations. | true |
