Command Line Options

From WarzoneWiki

Warzone supports several command line options. Some of them are currently the only way to change the configuration.

Configuration

You can edit the configuration in “Documents and Settings\USERNAME\My Documents\Warzone 2100\config” (Windows), ”~/.warzone2100/config” (Linux), ”~/Library/Application Support/Warzone 2100/config” (Mac) to change other options.

Using command line options

Preamble: [flags] is a placeholder for the _optional_ flags. If you put a command line switch there, do it without the []! (The [..] do commonly mean "this is optional" in documentations)

GNU/Linux

Start Warzone2100 with

warzone2100 [flags]

Windows

• Create a shortcut to the warzone2100.exe and add the flags to the target of the shortcut.
• Use start/run or a command prompt to execute

warzone2100.exe [flags]

The target could look like

C:\Program Files\Warzone 2100\warzone2100.exe [flags]

Mac OS X

• Ctrl-click “Warzone 2100” in the Finder and choose “show package contents”. Then double-click “Contents”, then “MacOS”. There should be a file named “warzone2100.sh”. Open this file in TextEdit and change the last line to:

exec ./warzone2100 --datadir ../Resources/data [flags]

• Open a new Terminal window and change to “Warzone 2100.app/Contents/MacOS”, e.g. enter “cd /Applications/Warzone\ 2100.app/Contents/MacOS”. Start Warzone2100 with

./warzone2100 --datadir ../Resources/data [flags]

Specifying modules

With --mod you can specify a mod to be loaded for all games. It may be a directory or a zipfile (maybe more, depending on what PhysFS supports on your system). You have to specify the file extension, i.e. .wz.

The mod is searched in the mods/global/ subdirectory of:

1. Directory specified via --datadir
2. The default configuration directory or --configdir if supplied
3. ../data/
4. <prefix>/share/warzone2100/
5. .

Where '.' represents the location of the binary and not the current working directory.

Any files (or directories) in mods/global/autoload/ are always loaded.
