====== Game options (lord.ini) ======

The game options are in ''lord.ini'' in the game directory (''LORD.INI'' on DOS). Set them with lordcfg's **1** (see [[lordcfg]]), or edit the file; the next player to enter uses the new values. The file is the same format as lord.js's: ''Key=value'' lines (tabs or spaces before the value are fine), then ''[Tournament]'' and ''[IGM]'' sections.

===== The game =====

| ''Delete1XP'' | Delete 1 XP players daily | true | Delete players who never got past 1 experience point. |
| ''DeedsToWin'' | Heroic deeds to win | 3 | Dragon kills to win the game; 0 = never. |
| ''ResurrectionDays'' | Resurrection days | 3 | How many days the dead are raised while away. |
| ''CleanMode'' | Clean mode | false | Tones down the adult text and options. |
| ''BankTransfersAllowed'' | Bank transfers allowed | true | |
| ''BankTransfersPerDay'' | Bank transfers per day | 2 | 0 = any number. |
| ''MaximumTransferAmount'' | Max transfer amount | 2000000 | See the note below. |
| ''Olivia'' | Olivia event | true | The Olivia forest event. |
| ''NoNPCChatter'' | NPC chatter in the bar | false | true turns the NPC chatter in the bar **off**. |
| ''FunkyFlowers'' | Colour codes in flowers | true | Players may use colour codes in the flower garden. |
| ''ShopLimit'' | Shop strength/defence limit | false | true: armour and weapons need defence and strength points, as in lord.js. LORD 4.06: false. |
| ''FiveSkillPoints'' | 5 skill points per use (old) | false | The old skill point rule. |
| ''BonusDefForPlayerKill'' | Bonus defence for PK | false | |
| ''BonusStrForPlayerKill'' | Bonus strength for PK | false | |
| ''BeefUpForHeroes'' | Beef up monsters for heroes | false | Stronger monsters for players who have killed the dragon. |
| ''OldStealAmounts'' | Old (big) thief steal amounts | true | |
| ''WakeUpDragon'' | Dragon wakes campers | false | |
| ''DeathKnightBoost'' | Death Knight boost (x3.3) | false | |
| ''NewUglyStick'' | | false | lord.js's ugly / pretty stick forest event. LORD 4.06 doesn't have it. |
| ''NoLEnemy'' | Ignore lenemy.bin/dragon.bin | false | Use the built-in monsters even if the table files are there. |
| ''SafeNode'' | Safe node (nodeon.* files) | true | Mark who is on with ''nodeon.*'' files. |

| ''OutOfTimeFile'' | Out-of-time file | | A screen shown when the caller runs out of time. |
| ''GamePrefix'' | Game data prefix/dir | | Where the data files are; blank = the program directory. |
| ''MenuDir'' | Menu dir | | Where custom menus are. |
| ''GameServer'', ''GameUser'' | | | lord.js's inter-BBS game server; not used by LORD FP. |

**Note on the transfer limit:** lord.js's stock ''lord.ini'' and its Sysop.doc call this ''MaxTransferAmount'', but lord.js reads ''MaximumTransferAmount'', and so does LORD FP. A ''MaxTransferAmount'' line is ignored and the default (2,000,000) applies. lordcfg writes the name that works.

===== [Tournament] =====
^ Key ^ What it does ^
| ''Enabled'' | true runs a tournament. |
| ''Days'' | How many days; 0 = the first to reach the goals wins. |
| ''WinStat'' | What ranks a days-mode tournament: ''XP'', ''DragonKills'', ''PlayerKills'', ''Level'' or ''Lays''. |
| ''Experience'', ''DragonKills'', ''PlayerKills'', ''Level'', ''Lays'' | The goals. |

===== [IGM] =====
Which keys apply depends on the version:
^ Key ^ Version ^ What it does ^
| ''PreCommands'' | all | DOS commands before each IGM, separated by '';'' (e.g. ''fossil.com >NUL'', ''SHARE''). On DOS: "DOS commands first", added to the top of the IGM batch file. |
| ''DOSGameDir'' | Linux, Windows | The game directory as DOS sees it. |
| ''DOSemuCommand'' | Linux | How dosemu2 is started: %d node dir, %b batch file (DOS path), %n node. |
| ''DOSBoxCommand'' | Windows | How DOSBox-X is started: %x DOSBox-X, %c its .conf, %n node. |
| ''DOSBoxCycles'' | Windows | DOSBox-X's CPU speed: ''fixed 10000'', ''auto'' or ''max''. |
| ''DOSBoxFossil'' | Windows | Load LSFOSSIL.COM for COM1 first. |
See [[linux_version#dos_igms_from_linux|DOS IGMs from Linux]] and [[lordsrv:igms#igm_settings|LORD Server's IGM settings]].
