hello to all mod makers that made a FPSC mod.
i want to make a simple mod to launch a game bypassing the menu's

as i on my own has no experiance with DB or DBP

i need someone who can help me. with it

to be short i must be able to pass commandline parameters to the game at startup.
for example :

START mygame.exe host myusername

now it must hostgame with username : myusername

same for joingame

START mygame.exe join Myusername 192.168.1.1

now it must join the ip 192.168.1.1 with username myusername

its that simple.
and i for sure will award the one who can make this mod.
or help me make it. but for now i still dont know anything so thats gonna take a while

Greetings mmuziek

Compared to other guys that ask for coders, this one isn't asking that much... A simple execute file will do the trick. But why use DBP? You could just program a small .bat file and shell execute it from there... I'm not that familiar with the command line with windows, but I think it's called START.

He means to command to execute a file. START actually just starts another copy of cmd.exe, you don't need a command to run an exe, just the name.

i can execute it but i want to bypass the menu's by giving the game parameters like hostgame or joingame.

in a batch file it looks like this

START mygame.exe hostgame mmuziek

now with that code it must host a game DIRECTLY with the username mmuziek

Is this what you want?

Quote: "CL$
This command will return the string passed in as a command line when the program is run as a standalone executable.

Syntax

Return String=CL$()

Returns

The return value is a string.

Description

When this program is created as an executable file, any additional parameters entered after the executable name are treated as a single command line string. You can use this string to control how your executable behaves based on the contents of the string.

Example Code

PRINT CL$()
WAIT KEY

You can then include extra lines in your code such as

From what I remember, FPSC doers not have multiplayer as standard, only as a MOD. Therefore, the variables can be anything.

You need to first find a mod which adds multiplayer, then ask the author of that mod for "teh coeds!!1!!" (lol).

I'd get some experience before attempting anything like this! If you don't know how to create your own code, how on earth can you expect to alter someone else's?!
