documentation of command line options

Post by meriton »

Hi,

I can't find any documention on command line options (apart from the implicit documentation in the .lnk that the windows installer adds to the start menu).

Is there a list somewhere? If not, could someone add it to the Wiki?

I am especially interested in those dealing with recordings.

I didn't even have to think about this:

Code: Select all

shell> armagetronad --help

Usage: Armagetron [Arguments]

Possible arguments:

-h, --help                   : print this message
--doc                        : print documentation for all console commands
-v, --version                : print version number

-f, --fullscreen             : start in fullscreen mode
-w, --window, --windowed     : start in windowed mode


--fastforward <time>         : lets time run very fast until the given time is reached
--benchmark                  : renders frames as they were recorded

--datadir <Directory>        : read game data (textures, sounds and texts)
                               from this directory
--userdatadir <Directory>    : read customized game data from this directory
--configdir <Directory>      : read game configuration (.cfg-files)
                               from this directory
--userconfigdir <Directory>  : read user game configuration from this directory
--vardir <Directory>         : save game logs and highscores in this directory

--resourcedir <Directory>    : look for resources in this directory

--autoresourcedir <Directory>: download missing resources into this directory


--record <filename>          : creates a DEBUG recording while running
--playback <filename>        : plays back a DEBUG recording

shell>
this is armagetronad-0.2.8.0_rc1

Oh, of course, that's a unix program, after all ...
