DESCRIPTION
megaglest, usage

Commandline Parameter: Description: ---------------------- ------------ --help displays this help text. --autostart-lastgame Automatically starts a game with the last game

    settings you played.

--load-saved-game=x Loads the last saved game.

If y is not specified (or is empty) then auto test cycles through playing scenarios. Where z is the word exit indicating the game should exit after the game is finished or the time runs out. If z is not specified (or is empty) then auto test continues to cycle.

--connect=x:y Auto connect to host server at IP or hostname x using port y

    Shortcut version of using --connecthost and --use-ports. *NOTE: to automatically connect to the first LAN

    host you may use: --connect=auto-connect

    *NOTE: to automatically connect to the first LAN

    host you may use: --connecthost=auto-connect

    Where x is an optional comma delimited command

    list of one or more of the following:

    exit - which quits the application after a game

    has no more connected players.

vps - which does NOT read commands from the

    local console (for some vps's).

lan - which does not broadcast the hosting server

    to the masterserver (for local LAN games).

--headless-server-status Check the current status of a headless server. --use-ports=x,y,z Force hosted games to listen internally on port

    x, externally on port y and game status on port z. Where x is the internal port # on the local

    machine to listen for connects

    y is the external port # on the

    router/proxy to forward connection from to the internal port #

    z is the game status port # on the

    Where purgeduplicates is an optional parameter

    telling the validation to merge duplicate files in the faction.

    Where hideduplicates is an optional parameter
