; BioForge Option File
;
; This is the Room Editor's option file.  You can define two other
; files that take precedence over it, {identity}.opt and install.opt.
;      Use your dos enviroment variable IDENTITY to set parameters locally
; on your computer to run.  Everyone should have a unique identity
; so that they can lock out levels and run with their own unique
; identity.  For example, my identity is KDEMARE, so I have an options
; file called KDEMARE.OPT that contains specific changes that override
; what is present in the RED.OPT.  You own IDENTITY.OPT always has
; top priority.
;      The file INSTALL.OPT has second priority, so that you can create
; it during your installation process with appropriate values, and even
; read it in during program operation and write out a new one.  Remember,
; you only want to override the values that MUST be overwritten, not
; everything!
;      Bottom on the list is RED.OPT, which typically holds all of
; the options in their default states.
;      If you are editing, you can also set an environment variable
; and it will take precedence over everything, but not in a shipping
; version of the game.
;
;     Option files allow comments starting with a semicolon, they allow
; you to assign a variable on the left side of an equals and a value
; on the right side.  You can make literals using double-quotes, and
; you can separate multiple values with commas.
;
; =================================
; These are all variables that can be assigned on the command line or in the
; install.opt file:

; If this is set to 1, then we see subtitles on the bottom of the screen
; whenever the script Subtitle command is run. -bes change from on/off to 1/0 - jar

; This controls how much lighter or darker your monitor becomes when you
; play the game.

;----LANGUAGE------------
; Controls what language the text is in.

;    the scancodes with. -bes
KeyboardExt=E
; If you want to add another translation, just add its extension to the
;   end of the non-english languages list.  So if we wanted to add Spanish,
;   it would say: FGS.
; Language specifies the current language.  non-english languages specifies
;   the other languages that have been translated.
; Also, if you specify 'verify translations' to be off, then you will no
;   longer receive the warnings in the script about non-translated text.

; This is the degrees to which you are allowed to climb up a well.
; All walls face exactly North, South, East, or West.  When we walk into
;   a wall, our yaw may be just about anything.  So if we have a value of 15
;   and run into a wall facing North, that means that our yaw coming in can
;   vary from -15 to 15 degrees.  In other words, we have a 30 degree
;   tolerance in which to hit to allow us to climb.  Hope this makes sense.

;   So, 60*60 ticks occur every minute, and 60*60*60 ticks occur every hour.
; StartDate is the number of days that have passed up to the point of the
;   start of the game.  So a value of 15 would mean that the player starts
;   the game 15 days into the game fiction.
