Supreme Commander will accept many command line switches. You can set them up in your windows shortcut. This is a partial list, with some explanations.
You can automaticly launch a skirmish right after launching the game. To do that, you need to specify a map. The other switches are optional.
| Command Line Switch | Description |
|---|---|
| /map map_folder | Set the map |
| /faction faction | Set your faction - 1 = UEF - 2 = Aeon - 3 = Cybran - 4 = Seraphim |
| /victory "victory_condition" | Set victory conditions - demoralization = Assassination - domination = Supremacy - eradication = Annihilation - sandbox = Sandbox |
| /nofog | Set fog to None |
| /blackfog | Set fog to Unexplored |
| /predeployed | Set pre-built units to On |
Example:
SupremeCommander.exe /map SCMP_019 /faction 3 /nofog /victory "domination"
You can create your own switches :
lua/SinglePlayerLaunch.luaExample:
if HasCommandLineArg("/gamespeed") then
options['GameSpeed'] = GetCommandLineArg("/gamespeed", 1)[1]
end
This will allow you to adjust game speed with the following switch :
/gamespeed "gamespeed"
Set game speed ("normal", "fast" or "adjustable")
