Title: Desktop Shortcut
Post by: Wolls on January 22, 2013, 10:22:07 pm
Is there any kind of command parameter one could add after ufo.exe that would load an existing mod? (within the main/mods/ directory)

It feels kinda silly, loading the base (main) first then having to activate the mod, load again.. when I could just put the mod changes into the base dir, and only load once. (I have an older/mucho slow com and I swear this double loading is killing me)

I really like the separation of the mods folder, its much cleaner, just looking for a way to pre-load it. (and save some time   :D)

+set fs_gamedir [mod directory]

That is for full-mod (complete content replacement), no?

I think it loads /base/ and then the mod folder. Not sure if it still works the same since mattn implemented the mods ui.

The feature works, and can load our official mods.

 :)   Ah, great!
  Thank you to all of you.   :)

I timed it, 82 seconds to load! (At least the music kicks in at around 12 seconds... so only 70 seconds of staring at a blank screen!!)
