openclonk: Multiplayer game of strategy, action and skill

OPTIONS

Without startup parameters, the game starts in fullscreen (player mode) and shows the startup menu. The following command line parameters are recognized:

--editor

Starts in editor mode (also called developer mode or windowed mode). In editor mode, scenarios can be edited and saved. The game will also start in editor mode if a scenario (*.ocs) and no --fullscreen is specified.

--fullscreen

Starts in fullscreen mode (also called player mode). If no scenario and no direct join address is given, the startup menu is shown.

--config=FILE

Loads and saves the configuration from the specified file instead of the default configuration file.

--record

The round is recorded.

--network, --nonetwork

Activates or deactivates network mode.

--signup, --nosignup

Activates or deactivates online signup of the game as public internet game. This value is stored in the configuration.

--signup implies --network. --nosignup implies --noleague.

--league, --noleague

Activates or deactivates online signup of the game as league game. This value is stored in the configuration.

--league implies --network and --signup.

--runtimejoin, --noruntimejoin

Activates or deactivates runtime join. This setting will be stored in the configuration.

--lobby[=TIME]

Activates the lobby before a network game is started. The lobby is the waiting and chat screen. The lobby is on by default for all network games.

Implies --network. If you specify a time (e.g. --lobby=120) the lobby will start with a countdown, automatically launching the game after (in this case) 120 seconds.

--observe

For network games: The client joins as observer (without players).

Implies --network.

--join=ADDRESS, clonk://ADDRESS/

Searches for a network game on the specified address and joins it. No local scenario (*.ocs) should be specified.

Implies --network.

--tcpport=PORT

Sets the TCP port number for client connections in network games. This setting will be stored in the configuration. If -1 is specified, TCP is disabled and all connections are created using UDP.

--udpport=PORT

Sets the UDP port number for client connections in network games. This setting will be stored in the configuration. If -1 is specified, UDP is disabled and all connections are created using TCP.

--pass[=PASSWORD]

For network hosts: sets the join password to the specified value. If PASSWORD is left empty, no password is set.

--comment=COMMENT

For network hosts: sets the network game comment. This setting will be stored in the configuration.

--update

Performs an update check at program start.

--recdump=FILE

Only for replay of recorded games: Before the replay is started, all replay data (player controls) are dumped into a file called FILE in the Clonk folder. If the file name extension is .txt, the controls will be dumped in text mode, otherwise binary. The replay file must be specified separately as a scenario file (e.g. openclonk Records.ocf/Record001.ocs --recdump=CtrlRec.txt).

--startup=NAME

Only for fullscreen startup menu: Instead of the main menu, one of the submenus is shown directly. Possible values for NAME are "main" (Main menu), "scen" (Scenario selection), "netscen" (Scenario selection for a new network game), "net" (Network/Internet game list), "options" (Options menu) and "plrsel" (Player selection).

*.ocs

If a scenario is specified (File extension .ocs), it will be started directly.

*.ocd

If the started scenario does not specify any required definitions (File extension .ocd), and no definitions are supplied in the registry, definitions can be specified via command line.

*.ocp

Player files (File extension .ocp) can be specified in the command line. If no player files are given, the config values are used. By specifying a non-existant player (like doesnotexist.ocp), the game can be started without players (e.g. in order to just edit landscapes in developer mode).
