Command line switches

Changed the first post to a more tutorial-like layout and added wilddogs finds.
Keep up the good work wilddog, as soon as I get the game I'll support you with research

No problem. The trace command is superb - once you know you've got an error otherwise it really creates a lot of text. You can still search through it though for the 'error' and it will find it so just a much more detailed set of information of exactly what has happened.

eg tells you you have wrong file sizes on maps so points you to correcting the descr_terrain.txt file if you forgot to change or identifies the TGA that you forgot to resize.

Suspect it really comes into its own with script debugging or possibly traits.

I guess one other little thing. If you do then change the options within the game ...they don't affect your *.cfg file referenced from the *.bat file. I believe they go only back to the original .cfg

Yes I also noticed this. It's a bit of a bummer tbh because every change you make has to be redone by hand.
