Command Line Switches

[Tals]

Is there a list of possible command switches that can be used with Dom 3. I am just setting up a Dom 3 hosted game so any of the commands to do this would be useful eg quickhost, hours, command to run etc. I've previously hosted Dom2 games so assume its similar but I no longer have my notes on the switches I used.

Many thanks

Feels a little like deja vu I found my original post so for others

So for the client:
"C:\Program Files\dominions2\dom2.exe" --tcpclient --ipadr a.b.c.d --port 2013 -i --nointro gamename

For the Host (i.e to start host)
"C:\Program Files\dominions2\dom2.exe" --tcpserver --port 2013 -q --preexec c:\postie\gamename_back.bat --postexec c:\postie\gamename.bat gamename

Was what I got to. However I use a windows 2000 workstation for hosting, it seems to have a really odd problem if I run it in a window then it can cause the pc to lock - not quite sure why but Civ 4 had the same effect. So if I can reduce any graphic options that may or maynot work

Running dom3 -h will give you all of the switches but in windows it goes to a DOS window.

Doing it as
dom3 -h >switches.txt
should give you a doc file you can keep but some versions of windows will ignore the file name you give and put it in something named outfile.txt or something like that.

Awww heck.
Its quicker and easier for me to do it in linux and make it available than it is to figure it out in windows.

Many thanks GP that is excellent. I am now rebuilding the machine anyway in Linux - so cross fingers I can figure it out Windows 2000 appears to not like having apps running in a window.

I think Linux is fun.
But then I started on DOS before there was Windows.

Well Linux is up, just need to install Dom 3 now - any tips on a good command line - particularly the emailing out after turns?

I did a thread on linux admining where I posted a bunch of my scripts. I think that emailing is covered there also.

By the way, the simplest examples are at the end of it.
