Default Re: Command line?

Well, there are some differences between the MacOS and Linux versions. So, first, to find your copy of Dominions, start the Terminal (as previously described). At the prompt, type:

find . -name Dominions3 -type f

this will find the file named Dominions3, and ignore all the directories with Dominions3 in their name. Find will print an answer that looks like:

./dominions3/Dominions3.app/Contents/MacOS/Dominions3

It might be a little different. cd to that directory. You can use cut and paste in the terminal to get the directory name, and just leave off the "Dominions3" at the end.

Unfortunately, there's a bug in the Mac port, so we're going to have to change directories again. (I had you go here because the system can find this directory for you.) So, type

cd ../Resources

Now you can type

../MacOS/Dominions3 --help

and Dominions will list all its options in the terminal. To set some options, just replace "--help" with what you want. For example, "--fullscreen" will, well, start Dominions in full screen mode.

Hope this helps.
