Command Line Options: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 20:42, 27 October 2011

Command line options are useful for controlling the behaviour of the simulator without having to use the program's GUI. An example of such options is the following:

"C:\Program Files\Signalsoft\Zentralstellwerk Köln Hbf\Zentralstellwerk Köln Hbf.exe" -x -l

The command line switches -x and -l enable Developer Mode, and Logging Mode, respectively. To use these options, you may:

use the options.txt option
start the program directly from the command line
modify the desktop shortcut's "target" property
write a batch file (*.bat)

No Trains

-notrains

Start a simulation without any trains. Useful for testing things without having to actually dispatch trains.

Free Speed

-simspeed

Allows unrestricted simulation speed. Undefined behaviour may occur in simulations simulated at speeds larger than 4X.

Developer Mode

-x

Enables Developer Mode. Allows access to "Dev" menu item which has useful scenario and timetable editing options. In Developer mode, more dialog boxes may appear.

Log Mode

-l

Writes to the program log located in the C:\Documents and Settings\User\My Documents\Signalsoft\APPNAME\logs\ folder. Developer Mode must be active for logging to work.

Disallow Coworker Sounds

-nocoworkers

Prevents coworker sounds from playing.

Disallow Startup Music

-nomusic

Prevents music from playing on start up, if it is defined for the simulation.
