not so familiar with command line lingo..
I know you can create a shortcut for doing so but then the lobby will not launch the shortcut ?
I also tried adding Isolation = 1 to my springsettings.cfg but it has to be done via command line ?
running Windows if that matters..

I think he's asking how to have lobbies (I assume springlobby?) run Spring in isolation mode. (Just running spring.exe without a lobby isn't really useful for multiplayer gaming)

create a batch file which launches spring.exe?!
but keep in mind, the lobby has to support some way of isolation mode as well... the question is imo way to unspecific also imo there exists currently no clean solution for a portable lobby / spring installation.

create a batch file into same folder of your .exe or set a path
@echo OFF
start spring.exe --isolation
or
@echo OFF
start [path]spring.exe --isolation
and link the path of the batchfile into your lobby preference. But it seems thats not really possible, springlobby ignored this option.
if you start a demo without springlobby its working
@echo OFF
start spring.exe --isolation [filename].sdf or path with filename

I think this is the problem. The op clearly indicated he knew how to assign command line parameters and was asking specifically about launching it this way from a lobby.
That said... it sound like
abma had the right of it because you can set the SPRING_ISOLATED environment variable.

This is probably a terrible idea but... well... you could make your batch file into an exe...

interesting idea but I think it prolly would not sync up as not "official" and ethier not work at all online or desync badly.

or even the more I think about it..might work as its simply telling tasclient to load spring.exe -isolation

Best way is to make a feature request / patch for this to whichever lobby you are using. I can't imagine that creating some sort of wrapper disguised as spring.exe would work well.

i got it; thx to zerver!
@echo OFF
start c:\Users\...\spring.exe script.txt --isolation
make sure that your lobby config is into same folder like the .exe and set the right pathes into it for 96.0 or delete them. Next upcoming MT already included isolation-mode.

this way demos can't be played, this should work better:
Code: Select all
@echo OFF
start c:\Users\...\spring.exe --isolation %*
(not sure if %* works, if not, %1 %2 %3 should do the same)

just put that file in the Lobby/python/scripts directory
Code: Select all
def onStartSpring(args):
return "--isolation "+args
