To play a game mode that is based on using the Shaft it's possible to select the game mode called Shaft Arena when creating a custom game or when creating a pickup. If you would like to play Wipeout with Shaft as the only weapon, you can create a Wipeout custom game and inside the more settings button place the command game_weapons: shaft 999; in the commands box, additionally you can use this command if you want unlimited ammo game_unlimited_ammo: 1;

It's possible to do it manually with files, you settings are saved to settings.txt and your bindings are saved to bindings.txt in C:\Users\Username\AppData\Roaming\Diabotical you can get there by pasting %appdata%/Diabotical in the Windows explorer address bar or by typing the command /homedir in the console in-game, then you can move those files to another folder or rename them to something other than "settings" and "bindings" such as "settingsbrother", "settingsme", then make a copy of one of those depending on who is playing and rename it to "settings" so that it's read by the game when you launch it afterwards.
