COMMAND LINE OPTIONS

Basic gameplay:
-autostart=...      load a map instead of showing main menu (see below)
-editor             launch the Atlas scenario editor
-mod=NAME           start the game using NAME mod
-quickstart         load faster (disables audio and some system info logging)

Autostart:
-autostart="TYPEDIR/MAPNAME"    enables autostart and sets MAPNAME; TYPEDIR is skirmishes, scenarios, or random
-autostart-biome=BIOME          sets BIOME for a random map
-autostart-seed=SEED            sets randomization seed value (default 0, use -1 for random)
-autostart-ai=PLAYER:AI         sets the AI for PLAYER (e.g. 2:petra)
-autostart-aidiff=PLAYER:DIFF   sets the DIFFiculty of PLAYER's AI (default 3, 0: sandbox, 5: very hard)
-autostart-aiseed=AISEED        sets the seed used for the AI random generator (default 0, use -1 for random)
-autostart-player=NUMBER        sets the playerID in non-networked games (default 1, use -1 for observer)
-autostart-civ=PLAYER:CIV       sets PLAYER's civilisation to CIV (skirmish and random maps only). Use random for a random civ.
-autostart-team=PLAYER:TEAM     sets the team for PLAYER (e.g. 2:2).
-autostart-ceasefire=NUM        sets a ceasefire duration NUM (default 0 minutes)
-autostart-nonvisual            disable any graphics and sounds
-autostart-victory=SCRIPTNAME   sets the victory conditions with SCRIPTNAME located in simulation/data/settings/victory_conditions/ (default conquest). When the first given SCRIPTNAME is "endless", no victory conditions will apply.
-autostart-wonderduration=NUM   sets the victory duration NUM for wonder victory condition (default 10 minutes)
-autostart-relicduration=NUM    sets the victory duration NUM for relic victory condition (default 10 minutes)
-autostart-reliccount=NUM       sets the number of relics for relic victory condition (default 2 relics)
-autostart-disable-replay       disable saving of replays
Multiplayer:
-autostart-playername=NAME      sets local player NAME (default 'anonymous')
-autostart-host                 sets multiplayer host mode
-autostart-host-players=NUMBER  sets NUMBER of human players for multiplayer game (default 2)
-autostart-client=IP            sets multiplayer client to join host at given IP address
 Random maps only:
-autostart-size=TILES           sets random map size in TILES (default 192)
-autostart-players=NUMBER       sets NUMBER of players on random map (default 2)

Examples:
1) "Bob" will host a 2 player game on the Arcadia map:
 -autostart="scenarios/arcadia" -autostart-host -autostart-host-players=2 -autostart-playername="Bob"
 "Alice" joins the match as player 2:
 -autostart-client=127.0.0.1 -autostart-playername="Alice"
 The players use the developer overlay to control players.
2) Load Alpine Lakes random map with random seed, 2 players (Athens and Britons), and player 2 is PetraBot:
 -autostart="random/alpine_lakes" -autostart-seed=-1 -autostart-players=2 -autostart-civ=1:athen -autostart-civ=2:brit -autostart-ai=2:petra
3) Observe the PetraBot on a triggerscript map:
 -autostart="random/jebel_barkal" -autostart-seed=-1 -autostart-players=2 -autostart-civ=1:athen -autostart-civ=2:brit -autostart-ai=1:petra -autostart-ai=2:petra -autostart-player=-1

RL client:
-rl-interface       Run the RL interface (see source/tools/rlclient)

Configuration:
-conf=KEY:VALUE     set a config value
-nosound            disable audio
-shadows            enable shadows
-vsync              enable VSync, i.e. lock FPS to monitor refresh rate
-xres=N             set screen X resolution to 'N'
-yres=N             set screen Y resolution to 'N'

Installing mods:
PATHS               install mods located at PATHS. For instance: "./pyrogenesis mod1.pyromod mod2.zip"

Advanced / diagnostic:
-version            print the version of the engine and exit
-dumpSchema         creates a file entity.rng in the working directory, containing
                      complete entity XML schema, used by various analysis tools
-entgraph           (disabled)
-listfiles          (disabled)
-profile=NAME       (disabled)
-replay=PATH        non-visual replay of a previous game, used for analysis purposes
                      PATH is system path to commands.txt containing simulation log
-replay-visual=PATH visual replay of a previous game, used for analysis purposes
                      PATH is system path to commands.txt containing simulation log
-writableRoot       store runtime game data in root data directory
                      (only use if you have write permissions on that directory)
-ooslog             dumps simulation state in binary and ASCII representations each turn,
                    files created in sim_log within the game's log folder. NOTE: game will
                    run much slower with this option!
-serializationtest  checks simulation state each turn for serialization errors; on test
                    failure, error is displayed and logs created in oos_log within the
                    game's log folder. NOTE: game will run much slower with this option!
-rejointest=N       simulates a rejoin and checks simulation state each turn for serialization
                    errors; this is similar to a serialization test but much faster and
                    less complete. It should be enough for debugging most rejoin OOSes.
-unique-logs        adds unix timestamp and process id to the filename of mainlog.html, interestinglog.html
                    and oos_dump.txt to prevent these files from becoming overwritten by another pyrogenesis process.
-hashtest-full=X    whether to enable computation of full hashes in replaymode (default true). Can be disabled to improve performance.
-hashtest-quick=X   whether to enable computation of quick hashes in replaymode (default false). Can be enabled for debugging purposes.

Archive builder:
-archivebuild=PATH            system PATH of the base directory containing mod data to be archived/precached
                                specify all mods it depends on with -mod=NAME
-archivebuild-output=PATH     system PATH to output of the resulting .zip archive (use with archivebuild)
-archivebuild-compress        enable deflate compression in the .zip
                                (no zip compression by default since it hurts compression of release packages)
