Command-line Arguments (v1.1.0.9 +)
Posted: Sat Jul 09, 2022 12:29 am
Distant Worlds 2 has the following command line options. Some of these are specifically designed for managing Steam workshop mods:
--use-dxvk Use a packaged distribution of DXVK 1.x instead of native D3D11.
--use-dxvk2 Use a packaged distribution of DXVK 2.x instead of native D3D11.
--use-dx11 Force the use of native D3D11 for this launch.
--non-interactive Don't assume there is human input available.
--tool-mode Force enable tool mode and thus show a console.
--ugc-sync Sync up your subscribed Steam Workshop mods.
--ugc-publish Upload a mod to the Steam Workshop.
--ugc-id Specify a previous Workshop ID to update in the Steam Workshop.
--ugc-log Specify a change log entry for the Steam Workshop.
--ugc-dont-open Don't open the URL in the browser once submitted.
Also, for helping modders get their code to run, we have provided a generic foot-in-the-door for community projects such as the Chinese Localization mod and Mod Loader projects.
There's a new command-line parameter for the game that uses a standardized pattern to refer to a component to load or execute at the game's start up.
Mod projects can then provide a batch file or launchers to run the game with their low-level mod.
Examples of using the new parameter (--low-level-inject) on the command-line are provided below.
Basic example of loading and running a module initializer.
DistantWorlds2.exe --low-level-inject ManagedAssembly.dll
Examples of loading and running the static initializer of a class.
DistantWorlds2.exe --low-level-inject ManagedAssembly.dll!SomeClass
DistantWorlds2.exe --low-level-inject ManagedAssembly.dll!SomeNamespace.SomeClass
Examples of invoking a simple parameterless static method.
DistantWorlds2.exe --low-level-inject ManagedAssembly.dll!SomeClass.SomeStaticMethod
DistantWorlds2.exe --low-level-inject ManagedAssembly.dll!SomeNamespace.SomeClass.SomeStaticMethod
The parameter can be provided with multiple arguments and they will be loaded in the order specified from left-to-right.
Example of multiple arguments.
DistantWorlds2.exe --low-level-inject ManagedAssembly1.dll ManagedAssembly2.dll
--use-dxvk Use a packaged distribution of DXVK 1.x instead of native D3D11.
--use-dxvk2 Use a packaged distribution of DXVK 2.x instead of native D3D11.
