bf1942.exe command-line switches documented somewhere?

[Stuart Summerville]

Anyone know if the command-line siwtches for bf1942.exe are documented
somewhere? There are plenty of references to the common ones on various
forums on the net (+restart +joinserver etc....) but I'd like to know
what they ALL are.

I can't believe I've searched so much, and found so little.

I couldn't even get the exe itself to tell me (-help, /help etc...). :(

I haven't seen a official documentation yet.
The ones i know are:
+restart 1
+joinServer X.X.X.X:YYYYYY
+isInternet 1/0
+playerName <name>
+password <password>
+hostServer 1
+dedicated 1
+game <gamename>

All, except +playerName, seem to work.
+playerName has no effect for me. (i heard that for others it's not
working too.) Seems like you have to edit some .con files before you
start BF1942 to play under a different profile.

HTH (at least a little),
Alle.

+isInternet 1/0

What's this one do?

Used only with dedicated/server setup?

I saw ASE passing it to the executable when i'm going to join a game.
I think it chooses between a game in the internet, and a game in you
LAN. (Don't know if ASE is able of listing LAN games, but it does
pass +isInternet 1 when i'm connecting to a server outside of my
LAN.)

I haven't found any information if you have to pass it to the
executable too when you're hosting a game. (Like you do in in BF
itself, were you select "start internet game" / "start local game".)
But it wouldn't hurt to handover it also.
(If it has no efect now, you could never know what EA/DICE do in
their next patch.)


Cheers,
Alle.
