Hello *,
i found several commandline parameters for the client, but mostly i dont know what exactly they do and - more important - how to set them. So i wasnt able to test them.
It seems the net7-starter does all this, but i dont know if it can pass parameters to the client and if so which are not blocked.
I didnt find anything about these parameters in the forums so i decided to list them here.
Maybe someone could take the time to clear up some of the missing infos below.
Regards
Ciannicay
p.s. If this info is not wanted here, simply drop me a note or even delete it.
I think the params that follow could be quite usefull especially for lazy guys like me or multiboxers:
-ENABLE_MESSAGES
could this be the parameter that enables mob killmessages to be written to the chat.log? would be great.
-LOGIN
set account (could be used for multibox startscripts)
-PASSWORD
specify password (could be used for multibox startscripts)
-NOSTARTUPMOVIE
sounds like it gets rid of the startup movie
-NOSHADOWS
may speed up the game on such old laptops like the one i use (from 2006)
-NOMUSIC
i listen to other music - i'd like to use this
-NOAUDIO
good idea for multiboxers to avoid problems of interfering sound outputs
-LOGS
either enabling or disabling of logging (? chat.log)
-NOCLASSRESTRICTIONS
dont know why this is in the client. ive only seen it with the c&s-creator
There are some more parameters but those dont look like they could be useful.
[spoiler]
These are the parameters that might be usefull but only in very special cases
-PROTOCOL UDP/TCP
looks like specifying the protocol. was used in early standolone client setups
-SERVER_ADDR
which server to use. set by net7. was used in standalone client setups (127.0.0.1 etc.)
-GLOBAL_ADDR
unknown
-PROXY_ADDR
unknown. maybe proxy for ingame internet access
-PROXY_PORT
unknown. see above
-SECT
says to starts a sector server - is the client able to act like a server or did the simply compile servercode into the client on error?
-SHUTDOWN_EMPTY
said that it shuts down empty sectors (see above)
-TASK
starts a taskserver - whatever a taskserver is.
-ORACLE
it either has something todo with greek mythology or its for a Oracle database
-STATS
unknown
-TEST_PATH
unknown
-NO_AUTHAUTH
unknown
-FASTSTART
unknown. if this speeds up client starts i would appreciate it.
-SUPERCLIENT
unknown. can it fly, or what else?
-NOPROJECTORS
unknown.
Parameters that look like being forgotten:
-CREATEMOVIE
it looks like there is/was a whole scriptinglanguage within the client which could be used to record movies from the game.
-PACKET_STATS
statistics of network packents?
-MENU
maybe for a servermode?
-UITEST_CODE
unknown
-GALAXY_MAP_DEBUG
unknown
