you can easly add one though.

You would want to hook Mods.lua and have it read off the command line. This won't be multiplayer safe at all.

I only want it for testing a debugging i just want a shortcut to send me into a map :wink:

.

I found this in GameSessionManager.lua any idea how i can add it? thanks

Code:

local function GetCommandLineOptions(isPerfTest)
   local options = table.copy(defaultOptions)

   if isPerfTest then
      options.FogOfWar = 'none'
   elseif HasCommandLineArg("/nofog") then
      options.FogOfWar = 'none'
   end

   local norush = GetCommandLineArg("/norush", 1)
   if norush then
      options.NoRushOption = norush[1]
   end

   if HasCommandLineArg("/predeployed") then
      options.PrebuiltUnits = 'On'
   end

   local victory = GetCommandLineArg("/victory", 1)
   if victory then
      options.Victory = victory[1]
   end

   local diff = GetCommandLineArg("/diff", 1)
   if diff then
      options.Difficulty = tonumber(diff[1])
   end

   return options
end

I edited Mods.lua and got it to work but for some reason its not loading mithys mod support 100% so it crashes the game because of ability's the game cant place.

EDIT never mind found a fix.

By default cheats should be turned on am i right? looking at this below but for some reason when i start a match using the command line switch cheats are turned off and i've tried adding another line to turn them on but im having no luck.

Code:

local defaultOptions = {
    FogOfWar = 'explored',
    NoRushOption = 'Off',
    PrebuiltUnits = 'Off',
    Difficulty = 2,
    DoNotShareUnitCap = true,
    Timeouts = -1,
    GameSpeed = 'normal',
    UnitCap = '500',
    Victory = 'sandbox',
    CheatsEnabled = 'true',
    CivilianAlliance = 'enemy',
}

Hi,

Something else is setting it false dependant on the game type
And it's setting a pref look for that.

I'm thinking the command line is starting a Multiplayer game instead of a skirmish even know skirmish is what its ment to start that's the only thing i can think of, even changing it in lobbyOptions.lua to 2 doesn't work all i get is the message saying trying to cheat not is cheating

Code:

    {
        default = 1,
        label = "<LOC lobui_0208>Cheating",
        help = "<LOC lobui_0209>Enable cheat codes",
        key = 'CheatsEnabled',
        pref = 'Lobby_Gen_CheatsEnabled',
        ui_index = 7,
        values = {
            {
                text = "<LOC _Off>Off",
                help = "<LOC lobui_0210>Cheats disabled",
                key = 'false',
            },
            {
                text = "<LOC _On>On",
                help = "<LOC lobui_0211>Cheats enabled",
                key = 'true',
            },
        },
    },
