Author Topic: blockland.exe command line options  (Read 2456 times)

What are the arguments for blockland.exe?
Can I change server configuration from the command line?


Most forum posts mention  -map <mapname>
But the executable is mum on its existence. Are there other secret options?

Code: [Select]
./Blockland.app/Contents/MacOS/Blockland -help
% Activating package: Help

Torque Demo command line options:
 -log <logmode> Logging behavior; see main.cs comments for details
 -game <game_name> Reset list of mods to only contain <game_name>
 <game_name> Works like the -game argument
 -mod <mod_name> Add <mod_name> to list of mods
 -console Open a separate console
 -show <shape> Launch the TS show tool
 -jSave <file_name> Record a journal
 -jPlay <file_name> Play back a journal
 -jDebug <file_name> Play back a journal and issue an int3 at the end
 -dbgPort <port> Set debug port (default = 28040)
 -dbgPassword <pass> Set debug password (default = password)
 -dbgEnable Start game in debug mode
 -dedicated Start as dedicated server
 -connect <address> For non-dedicated: Connect to a game at <address>
 -mission <filename> For dedicated: Load the mission
 -help Display this help message

Ignore that list because it's for the default torque demo.

-map <mapname> (for dedicated servers only)
-dedicated (starts the game in dedicated mode)
-trace (only do this if Badspot tells you to)
-profilePath <path> (sets the blockland file directory if you don't want it in my documents)
blockland://join-<ip>_<port>/ (joins IP:Port immediately after authenticating)
And there's one for hiding the black console window.

THX much.

Is it possible to auto-load a saved.bls?

If server restarts I can get both dedicatedLAN instances up, but they would be empty maps.


You would need an add-on for that.

Not sure if this works or not, but it looks like it'll do what you want: http://forum.blockland.us/index.php?topic=74300.0
