3.1.3 Command Line options

Walktest takes the name of a map to load as a command line parameter. If this is given as a full VFS path, the map file called `world' in that directory is loaded.

If there is no initial `/' character, `/lev/' is stuck on the front. If there is no map specified at all, `/lev/flarge' is assumed, so the default map is `/lev/flarge/world'. (This is almost true ... the default path is specified in `/data/config/walktest.cfg').

Many of these command line options are of specialised or limited use.

Win32-specific options:

-[no]console

Create a debug console (default = yes) (@@@ Note to Frank, depends on release/debug mingw/msvc?)

Options for WalkTest:

-exec=<script>

Execute given script at startup. In this case, the entire script is run. If you run a script from within Walktest once it is running, the script is run one line per frame.

By default, `/data/config/autoexec.cfg' is executed. This defines key bindings which take effect when not in console mode.

-[no]colldet

Collision detection system (default 'colldet').

-[no]logo

Draw logo (default 'logo'). This controls display of the Crystal Space logo in the top right of the display.

-regions

Load every map in a separate region (default off).

-dupes

Check for duplicate objects in multiple maps (default off).

-infinite

Special infinite level generation (ignores map file!).

-bots

Allow random generation of bots.

Options for Crystal Space 3D Engine:

-fullbright

Disable all lightmaps and lighting so that everything is fullbright (default off).

-fov=<val>

Field of Vision (0).

-[no]relight

Force/inhibit recalculation of lightmaps (no) This must be used the first time a map is run, and if there have been enough changes to the geometry to require all the lightmaps to be recalculated. For a large map, this can take a long time. The generated lightmaps are cached in the directory containing the `world' map, but the engine nolonger automatically regenerates them if they are missing.

-lightqual=<val>

Lighting quality (3).

Options for the canvas drivers:

-depth=<val>

Display depth (16).

-[no]fs

Fullscreen if available (no).

-mode=<val>

Window size or resolution (640x480).

General options:

-help

Display a help message.

-video=<s>

The 3D rendering driver (opengl, software, ...).

-canvas=<s>

The 2D canvas driver (asciiart, x2d, ...)

-plugin=<s>

Load this plugin after all others.

-verbose

Be more verbose; print better diagnostic messages.
