Title: D (Retarded) Q 8 - command-line options don't work?
Post by: northtwilight on March 17, 2006, 12:03:50 am

Hi all,

I've noticed that some cmdline options like -orbradar and -stats don't seem to work for fs2_open linux (cvs) running 3.6.8 and retail mediaVPs in symlinked and separate folders ( data/mediaVPs/ 3.6.8/ & orig/ ).

Here's what my cmdline_fso.cfg says:
-spec -glow -pcx32 -jpgtga -cell -decals -orbradar -stats -show_mem_usage -ambient_factor 75

Is the syntax wrong? TIA, M

-stats is Windows only (those damn Windows devs making stuff that's impossible to easily do cross-platform!!  :mad:).

-orbradar should work though, it does for me.  Run a debug build and check ~/.fs2_open/data/fs2_open.log, it will have a list of the cmdline options that it found near the top of the file.  If -orbradar isn't in the list then something is wrong with the detection of the option.
