Some game settings are only available in the config file. Here is a short description of the more interesting options. The config file is named "typhoon.cfg", resides in the game directory and is structured like a windows INI file, here is an example :

[display]
fixed_res = 1
xres = 1280
yres = 1024
xvp = 1280
yvp = 1024
zbuf = 24
cbuf = 32

[sound]
music = 1
music_channels = 1
music_volume = 0.000000


• accel
  If you want to use your 3D graphics hardware you should set this to 1, this is also the default. 0 disables hardware acceleration. If you want to play the game like this (because you do not have 3D hardware) you also should set details to 0 and the screen resolution to something like 320x240. Anything else will be a slideshow even on the fastest of computers.
• details
  Full details (1) is the default, low details (0) uses simpler effects instead of textured quads for all the explosion effects, and most of the alpha blending is removed. Kinda looks like T2K in this mode.
• fixed_res
  The default is 1 and this means the resolution is only autodetected on the first launch and will then be left alone. 0 means that the resolution is autodetected on every launch. Useful if you play the game on different computers from a USB drive or something like that.
• xres and yres
  Like you already guessed, this selects the resolution the game should be run at.
• xvp and yvp
  Selects the viewport inside the resolution, can be more conveniently set up during the title screen.

• music
  Enables (1) or disables (0) the music completely
• music_channels
  Mono (1) is the default, but you can set it to stereo (2) if you want. Not recommended for headphone users though.

• priority
  Sets the task priority of the game. Normal (1) is the default, but you can also set it to 2 (above normal) and 0 (below normal).
