New page

The t-engine executable supports several command-line arguments.

{| class="wikitable"
! Argument !! Effect
|-
| -M''module'' || Automatically load and run ''module'' instead of going to the boot menu
|-
| -u''name'' || Use ''name'' for the character name instead of prompting, and either load that character's saved game or create a new game with that name.
|-
| -n || Force creating a new game, overwriting any previous saved game for the given character name
|-
| -E''args'' || Passes extra arguments to the game module (?)
|-
| --xpos ''x'' || Create the game window at the given X coordinate
|-
| --ypos ''y'' || Create the game window at the given Y coordinate
|-
| --flush-stdout || Write to <code>te4_log.txt</code> immediately instead of buffering output. This facilitates debugging but can slow T-Engine4 down.
|-
| --no-debug || Disables most output to <code>te4_log.txt</code>
|-
| --safe-mode || Disables many graphical effects and reverts to minimal screen size and graphics settings
|-
| --home ''path'' || Use the given directory instead of your default operating system home directory. T-Engine's settings and saved games will be saved in a subdirectory under this home direcotry, as described [[Debugging#Updating_your_configuration|here]].
