[Feature Request] Command Line Arguments for Game Boot

Open DelmorS opened this issue 1 year ago • 2 comments

Hi! Are there any command line arguments for this application, in order I could launch Mod Manager for some precise game at once? For example, I want to launch SADX and SA2 from Playnite game launcher, and there is option to add any executable to any existing game in your library, and I would like to have option to launch Mod Manager with option like "SAModManager.exe --game SA2" Thank you!

There are some command line options with potentially more on the way, but none of them do what you're requesting and it's not really necessary either.

Once the Loader is installed, booting the game directly from the game's executable will load whatever the last selected profile was in the Manager for either game (meaning whatever mods and codes were selected along with other applicable settings are applied on boot). The Manager only plays a roll in setting everything up and giving a UI for managing selected mods, codes, general graphics settings, etc.

Edit: I do like this idea btw, and have added appropriate tags and updated the Issue name. It needs some finalizing before we add it, but I think we can get it added at some point.

I want to see an argument that changes the profile that is loaded (ie something like -profile Archipelago.json -silentlaunch to make the manager run silently, switch the profile to the selected one and launch, and then exit, for example.
