Hi!

I have a question for those who are 1337 with Civ4 and command lines:

What Command Line parameter makes Civ4 launch into a certain mod?

Is there a list of viable command line tags and parameters somewhere in CFC?

I would really appreciate your insights and discussion :goodjob:

mod="modname" or
mod=\modname
This is for BtS. For vanilla and perhaps warlords you need to include the mods directory aswell, like this: mod="mods\modname"

what other tags are there?

I ask this because I want a shortcut on the desktop when you install my mod.

There's ini=inifile but I'm not sure exactly how to use it as I never have. Don't know any others.

this is what exactly im trying to do
C:\Program Files (x86)\Firaxis Games\Sid Meier's Civilization 4\Beyond the Sword\Civ4BeyondSword.exe /mod=Second Revolution 3.0

or something like that... you see i want to make a shortcut that starts Second revolution when you click on it from the desktop :)

I guess adding "" around (part) of your text might help - but I have to get home to check.

Try
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Firaxis Games\Sid Meier's Civilization 4\Beyond the Sword\Civ4BeyondSword.exe" mod=\Second Revolution 3.0
or
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Firaxis Games\Sid Meier's Civilization 4\Beyond the Sword\Civ4BeyondSword.exe" mod="Second Revolution 3.0"
