-floor-texture texture
Sets the floor texture. texture can be a path to an image file, or it can be one of the built-in textures (see TEXTURES below).
-ceiling-texture texture
Sets the ceiling texture. texture can be a path to an image file, or it can be one of the built-in textures (see TEXTURES below).
-drop-acid-walls
Continuously shifts the hue of the wall texture. (This looks like an LSD trip, hence the name.)
-drop-acid-floor
Continuously shifts the hue of the floor texture.
-drop-acid-ceiling
Continuously shifts the hue of the ceiling texture.
-drop-acid
Turns on all three.
-inverters number

wood-floor
A wooden floor. This is the default floor texture.

You can also specify a path to an image file, instead of using one of the built-in textures.
