1.1 About

The commandline options are very usefull for peopel running dedicated servers for any
of the so far published techland games . But are also usefull for players. You can as
example connect to a Server via the commandline without the need to browse through the
ingame menus or set your PlayerName .



1.2 Example usage

Some example how to pass commandline variables to the game exe . I yust cover 2 for now
batch scripting and via the commandline interface .


1.3 Batch Script
----------------

The simplest way to pass the variables you use often to the executebal of your game is to use a simple batch script
and execute it to start your server .

heres example how to create simple batch script for Chrome


1: Open your favorite text Editor and create a new document
   (You can also right click in windows explorer and select "new -> Text Document")

2: Add the following to the textfile
  

     ChromeNet.exe -dedicated -lan -profile MyServerProfileFoldernameHere


3: Now Save as Dedicated-Server.bat to your game mainfolder

4: If you double click the yust created batch script Chrome Starts a
   dedicated Server in Lan mode with the profile MyServerProfileFoldernameHere


1.4 Command Promt
-----------------

You can also use command promt to issue variables to the game executebal .
Simplest way to open a command promt is to ...

1: Click on start windows button
2: Select Execute
3: Then type in "cmd"  (without the brackets)

Now a Black console window should appear where you can input your commands ...

now you could type in


     X:\PathToChrome\ChromeNet.exe -dedicated -lan -profile MyServerProfileFoldernameHere


Replace X with the harddrive device ID and PathToChrome with .... The path to chrome..


If you have a fairly long directory path to chrome you can also browse to the folder . So you only have to
type "ChromeNet.exe -options -here"

copy the directory path to your chrome folder from the windows explorer path display (Under menu)
Then type


     CD "PASTE PATH HERE"    (Right click+paste)


honnestly if you don't know how to use the batch script . Im not going to explain this here any further ;)



1.x Command Line Variables Listning
-----------------------------------

Most options are untested I only use server related variables atm . If i find the time I'll verify
the client commands.


1.x Chrome
----------


ChromeNet.exe

dedicated    * Starts Dedicated Server
server       * Starts listen Server ?
internet     * Tells the Server to broadcast to MasterServer
lan          * Starts a Local Lan Server
profile      * Let's you specify the profile Ex: ChromeNet.exe profile PrivateServerProfile
join         * join 127.0.0.1:27015  Joins the specified server
client       * client 127.0.0.1:27015 Same then join
autoplayer   * for listen server autojoins to your own server after server startup
nick         * let's you specify your nickname
