Command line options

#1 Post by DaStig » 28 Apr 2015 13:04

Hey,

What command line options are there when starting ETS2? I know about 'nointro', quite handy when making and testing skins, so no delay in loading.

But what other commands are there, and what do they do?

I know about these two:

-64bit: force ETS2 to run in 64-bit mode
-unlimitedlog: the log will not be truncated after it reaches a certain length. Useful for map debugging.

Don't ask us for a release date; we don't know either.

Two switches for people working on the map:

-edit starts the map editor
like -edit europe
No further command or clicks necessary to enter the map editor.

-preview start the game in preview mode, known also as "run map"
like -preview europe
spawns truck at location marked in the map with the "start position" command. Game version 1.17 makes this much more interesting. Because if you copy your default's profile "controls.sii" to the personal ETS 2 directory and rename it to "preview_controls.sii", you can have your usual controller keys for driving at hand, from scratch. Before this, you got to start the game, load your profile, and click "run map" or type "preview europe" into the console to get these settings into the preview mode.

A parameter to start the game in either windowed mode or fullscreen would be very handy, when switching map editing and gaming.

Nice. I just tried the "-nocpu" option to see if I can get rid of that dirty rotten Intel scoundrel, finally. :D But it just loaded the last of my own savegames, instead of the usual last automatic save.

"-pure" seems to be the opposite of "-forcemods". Makes you vanilla all the way.

-nosingle allows you to run multiple entities of the e2 executable, at the same time. Which is rejected on standard.

Be careful with that. I have no idea what happens to your profile related data if -nosingle is used for the normal, standard game mode. I use it exclusively in batch command files dedicated to enter the map editor automatically right from the start, which means no profiles are loaded and no damage can be done.

Just discovered it. I want to use it to be able to run the map editor twice simultaneously, with different patch versions of the game/map. To check where the map has changed on spot, and how.

Of course it has to be used in combination with the -homedir parameter. To get the proper map mod loaded. To run two different patch versions on the same PC, I use a retail installation plus a Steam installation.

"-nocpu" disables cpu specific optimizations (core numbres, threading etc)
Nobody can tell you anything about it. Those who know about it aren't allowed to talk. And those who talk know nothing.

Thanks! I really wondered what that might be.
