Does anyone know of any command-line switches for either FS2.EXE or FRED2.EXE? I ask because I'd like to be able to double-click on an .FS2 file and have FRED2 open up with that mission file loaded. I would also be handy to have FS2 load up directly to a certain mission, as a certain player, etc.
Anybody?

Ummm.... DUH! That's why I was asking... I'm hoping against all hope that someone discovered some sort of swithc that would do that, sorta like this:
FRED2.EXE /loadmission:SM1B2.FS2
Or something of that sort...

Well, if there's anything for Fred, it'd probably be in the readme or the online help...I know there's a few for FS2, in the readme.

Okay, after a bit of FS2.EXE surfing, I found these command-line switches. Aside from the ones that are documented in the readme (Thanks for the reminder, Sushi), I have no idea what any of them mean. Experiment away, folks!
* indicates a documented switch
-standalone *
-nosound *
-nomusic *
-startgame
-gamename
-password
-closed
-restricted
-allowabove
-allowbelow
-port # *
-connect
-multilog
-oldfire
-clientdamage
-pofspew
-32bit
-coords

-pofspew? Odd... I wonder what that means...

Yeah - the one that caught my eye was "oldfire" as well...
