Title: passing parameters to openarena on launch Post by: vindimy on May 07, 2009, 01:04:45 AM I'm interested in passing parameters to openarena.exe / openarena.i386 so that the following can be achieved: * Immediately connect to some game server * Immediately start playing certain map in certain game type I think I know the answers: Code: openarena.exe +set server 10.0.0.1 Code: openarena.exe +set map oasago2 +set g_gametype 4 But I can't test these 'cause I don't have a working installation of OA at the time e:/ Do you think that's right / there's another way? Title: Re: passing parameters to openarena on launch Post by: sago007 on May 07, 2009, 03:35:33 AM To connect to a server I think it is:
openarena.exe +connect 10.0.0.1 (no "set" because "connect" is a command not a cvar) I don't know how to start a listening server from the command line. Edit: openarena.exe +set g_gametype 4 +map oasago2 (again no "set" because "map" is a command. cvars must be set before the command) Title: Re: passing parameters to openarena on launch Post by: vindimy on May 07, 2009, 07:00:10 PM Thanks, this is helpful! I wasn't aware that cvars and commands are not the same things (there's also binds...).
I'm assuming that "+connect 10.0.0.1" could also work as "+connect 10.0.0.1:27960" but I'll have to try it when I can. On a related subject, do you know of a place where those commands and cvars are completely defined? I've been looking around ioquake3 and various gaming places, but it's all fragmented...
