Hmmm multiple skins leads me to think about setting my icons so that I swap the skins for each nation I play. I would be fun to swap a leafy green forest skin when playing Pangaea for more of a stone skin playing Ulm.

Good point. I'll add some comman-line switches so it can run in batch-mode without the GUI.

Version 0.2 is now up, same location, and it now supports zipped themes and command-line arguments.

Zipped themes must be named on the pattern of SkinName.skin.zip and located in the dominions3/skins directory. The zip file must not contain more than one directory. I've put up an zipped theme as an example.

The command-line parameters are:

--skin Name Activates the named skin without opening a GUI
--directory Dir Sets the Dominions 3 directory. Note that "Dir" has to be specified with forward slashes and not the usual backslashes used by Windows.
--run Automatically starts Dominions 3
--dom3args Arguments Uses the specified arguments to start Dominions 3

So, putting it all together:
Code:
java -jar DominionsSkinBrowser.jar --dir C:/Game/Dominions3 --skin Jungle_Nights --run --dom3args "-w -a -f -s"



The above command will start Dominions 3 in a window, with no animated backgrounds, fade effects or sound, with the skin "Jungle_Nights."

Oh, I haven't been away as such. Just quiet. What particular stuff did you have in mind? The random map themes thing (.ran files) has been updated to Dominions 3 already. The random mod script should work pretty much as is, but it'll need updating with the new unit abilitites.
