I wanted point out that the MD5-checksums in the troubleshooting topic http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php?topic=70511.0 (http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php?topic=70511.0) seem outdated, at least I get different results from the new downloads.
Also, I wanted to ask if you guys could post a list of command line options added to the bp-builds because I use a shell script instead of a launcher.
Thanks

Assuming you're running on Linux (launching with a shell-script?) then you can get *most of* the command line flags two ways:
1) ./fs2_open_3.6.17 --help
2) ./fs2_open_3.6.17 -get_flags, then open flags.lch (should be in your current working dir) in a hex editor (this option should work on all platforms)
However, neither option gives you the flags which accept parameters. The wiki has a page (http://www.hard-light.net/wiki/index.php/Command-Line_Reference), however I'm not sure if it's up to date for the BP builds. The -shadow_quality flag (if I got the spelling right) seems to be missing at least...
So, lots of info, but I don't know if I've really answered your question or not :nervous:

Thanks for the reply!
Yeah, I'm using Freespace 2 on Linux with a shell-script to pass it all the command line parameters automatically. It's actually pretty convenient, provided I can find all the command line options somewhere.
I knew about the wiki page (I'd be lost without it), and should have known about the --help command, but I didn't. So thanks for that.
Unfortunately, the flags with parameters are what I'd really need.
Is the -shadow-quality flag the only new flag for blue planet?
-
I think it's the only new flag, but you'd have to check the patch / read the code to be sure.

Oh. Well, I might just do that... Hopefully my knowledge of programming in general will suffice (I've zero experience with C).
Thanks anyway.
