[edit] Help for Windows users
There are two ways to add command line parameters:
[edit] The shortcut method
- Make a shortcut to
openttd.exe - Right click the shortcut and select properties. The first box should say something like this:
C:\Games\openttd.exe - Put double quotes around the text:
"C:\Games\openttd.exe" - Add parameters afterwards, outside the quotes:
"C:\Games\openttd.exe" -m - To add modifiers, insert them one space after the parameter:
"C:\Games\openttd.exe" -n 127.12.13.1 - Separate multiple parameters with spaces:
"C:\Games\Openttd.exe" -m -s null - When you are done, run the game using the shortcut.
[edit] The DOS method
This requires basic DOS knowledge. If you don't have that, use the shortcut method.
- Start the MS-DOS prompt.
- Go to the openttd.exe location.
- Do the same as above, only without the quotes.
