If someone knows all of jj2's command lines or something....

[Spazzyman]

in VB, how do u make a server show up in the list servers? is there a commmand line, or a certain way to do that? I really wanna know.

[Wimster]

xjj2 could be what you are looking for, here's were you can download it.



http://squeeky.cytag.nl/~haze/files/xjj2v33.exe



it's not a list of all commandline parameters but it's a launcher program for jazz2.

[Aiko]

I know all command line parameters, but i still have no idea to solve the described problem. I once tried it myself in VB :-)



btw: youre still trying to beat my JazzEd and XJJ2, eh? Forget it, mister :-)

[Wimster]

What is VB anyway?

[Electric Ir]

VB is Visual Basic, wimster.

[Bobby aka Dizzy]

To do what you want, you would need to talk to port 10054 and manage to send the correct data to get a list server listed. What needs to be sent and all I don't know.

[Ice M A N]

But I think Cheeze might/does. Go bug him. http://jazz2.nagcentral.com/forum/images/smiles/icon_wink.gif



(NOTE: Don't actually bug him. http://jazz2.nagcentral.com/forum/images/smiles/icon_wink.gif)

[Spazzyman]

yeah Aiko, could u help me? besides, does JazzED have support for JCS and overlord? B^)

[Aiko]

As i said, Spazzyman. I don't know how to do it as well :-)



And btw...Cheeze also doesn't know it. Only person who does is Mr. Pennywise. [bad joke]E-Mail him![/bad joke]

[Spazzyman]

Then that means, jed's servers arent listed either? Hmm, mywinsock control doesnt work ;<

[Ice M A N]

You sure Aiko? I'm semi-certain I heard Cheeze figured out how to do it. And in XJJ2 he is the one listed under Listserver Research..

[Monolith]

All I ever figured out with port 10054 was that it was a constant binary connection that gave the list server the stats about, like the name, # of player, version, and stuff like that. If the connection, the server is dropped from the list, eventually.

I tried to create a list server forwarding program with Perl once, but ran into that problem once I tried forwarding a host server back to the list. It didn't work.

[Aiko]

What do you mean by "jed's servers", Spazzyman?



Iceman, i'm pretty sure...i asked him many times. I also expected him to know it because of that mentioning in the credits ;-)

Well, maybe he figured it out since i asked him the last time :-)

[Spazzyman]

jed07b-e.exe

thus the name jed of JazzED

[Aiko]

JazzEd doesn't have any network abilities at all. You can't host or join servers from the program. Its just a nice frontend for some registry manipulation :-)

For joining and hosting servers, i'd recommend XJJ2 (which has still a lot of bugs tho').

[Spazzyman]

I think i realized it after that post...i think i have enough stupidity in me....whats the command line for launching TSF with a jazz file? 1.21 = c:\xxx\jazz2 levelfile.j2l, what is tsfs?

[Aiko]

Of course, TSF has the same exact command line parameter like the "regular" JJ2 for starting a level.



jazz2.exe mylevel.j2l



What whas that about "enough stupidity"? (Just kidding ;-)

[Cpp]

Well if you wanna know all jj2 comand lines disassemble your jazz2.exe with that W32Dasm and when done press the STRN REF button (String Data Refs). All lines beginning with - are command lines. For example: -COOP But I don't know how to use them.

Anti-access violation patch coming up!

[Lamer]

Here is the (complete?) list of the JJ2 command line parameters (I got this by disassembling jazz2.exe a few years ago):



-EASY

-MEDIUM

-HARD

-CAPTURE

-COOP

-COUNTS

-CONNECT

-fullscreen

-J2l

-log=

-log

-MAXCACHE2

-MAXCACHE8

-MAXCACHE32

-MAXCACHE128

-MAXPLAYERS

-nonetwork

-nosound

-nospy

-NOTRIPLE

-RACE

-RECORD

-safe

-safelog

-SERVER

-spy

-TREASURE

-windowed

[Aiko]

Now you spoiled the party!



Oh wait...just noticed there are still some commands missing. Mwhaha :-)

[Monolith]

-battle?

[Cpp]

-PLAYER?

[Aiko]

okay okay...some more...



-PLAY

-LORI (TSF only i guess)

-SPAZ



btw...

-PLAYER is ignored by TSF. If someone finds out why and how to fix it, mail me.

[Cpp]

Which gives me another idea! If I knew how to use these command lines I would be able to create a flash readme file for a mission pack that could configure the mission and run jj2. I am trying to create one for my RHG: TF. Aiko please tell me how to use these command lines for single player.

Thank you.

[Lamer]

Nice work, Aiko, I wasn't able to see those before, of course, I can never see the "-LORI," as I disassembled 1.23.

I just found out that -play, -lori and -spaz are all 'TSF only'.

[DFX]

How do you write the Command Line Parameters in?

That's what I asked Aiko in here!
