Bitfighter can be started with a number of command line parameters. These will override the behavior and settings stored in the INI file. Most players can ignore these, most of the time.
- -server [address] Start game in server mode, and optionally bind to specified address.
- -connect <address> Connect to server at specified address.
- -master <address> Use master server (game finder) at specified address
- -dedicated [address] Run as a dedicated game server (i.e. no game window)
- -name <string> Specify your user name
- -password <string> Specify a server password (if connecting to a private server)
- -adminpassword <string> Specify an admin password when you run as a server
- -hostname <string> Sets the name that will appear in the server browser when searching for servers
- -maxplayers <int> Max players allowed in a game (default is 128)
- -edit [string] Load editor, and, if a level name is specified, start editing it.
- -window Start in windowed mode
- -fullscreen Start in full-screen mode
- -levels <level 1> [level 2]... Note that all remaining items on the command line will be interpreted as levels, so this must be the last parameter.
Developer-oriented options
- -loss <float> Simulate the specified amount of packet loss, from 0 (no loss) to 1 (all packets lost) [I think range is correct...]
- -lag <integer> Simulate the specified amount of server lag (in milliseconds)
- -createsampleini Direct Bitfighter to create bitfighter.ini.sample and exit. All other options will be ignored. Primarily for release support.
- -jsave <string> Record a game to a journal for later playback. Specify where to save the game. Useful for demonstrating and reporting bugs or other issues.
- -jplay <string> Play back a journaled game. Specify the playback file name.
- -crazybot
