Default Re: Command Line game name

Ice Sickle, here is the format:

dom2.exe <parameters> --mapfile <mapfilename> <gamename>

For example:

dom2.exe -STq --port 2001 --mapfile orania.map Twist

If your game was already created/running and you just need to restart it, drop the --mapfile and all other game-start parameters (like hall of fame, research settings, etc):

dom2.exe -STq --port 2001 Twist

Hope that helps. Don't worry if this is confusing to you. Contrary to what some people might say, there is NO good documentation on how to properly start/run a server. Everyone I have met who knows just fumbled through the command lines and figured it out through trial and error.

I guess I'm missing something. The map I'm using is Orania but the game name is "Twist." If I select the map name it won't grab the files in "Twist" will it? It will just start a new game. Or am I lost?
