Command Line

[Jazzepi]

Is there a good list of command line switches? I thought I saw someone who had a bunch of command lines so you could setup a short-cut to connect you to a particular multiplayer server. That would be great as it would cut down on the amount of time to switch between servers for different multiplayer games.

Does anyone else know if I need to turn on/off the conceptual balance mod every time I log into a server running it? And off when I log into one not running it?

Command line switch list over at Gandalf's:

Not sure about the mod, but I think that it only has to be turned on during game and pretender creation.

Just run "dom3 -h" or maybe "dom3 /h" under windows for the command line switches

and remember that under windows it doesn't list them in dos, it creates a text file in your dom3 folder with a list of them.

Abit of correction on all of this altho Im not sure if I can make it clear. Nor am I sure that its of any interest to anyone who isnt hacking the game-running aspects of Dom3.

A) You must have a mod in the mod directory AND ENABLED when you are CREATING a NEW game using the mod changes

B) you must have a mod named correctly IN the mod directory when you are bringing up a game that WAS already started with that mod

C) the mod does not actually have to match by anything other than its file name.

D) the mod does not have to be enabled every time that you want to play a turn in a game that was started with that mod. Dom3 will automatically enable and disable mods in order to let you do your turn.

So as far as this particular thread... you do not have to make icons that will enable and disable mods for every game you are in. Dom3 will do that automatically. Such as..

dom3 --tcpclient --ipadr 63.199.8.157 --port 7654
will connect to my server, the game on port 7654, grab my turn, put me into the game to take my actions, AND it will automatically turn on any mods that the host used when the games ftherland file was initially created.
