Plasma Console Default Link

I am testing using my LAN install of dirtsand and using the Plasma Console with the command

net.linktoage enobmort

Is there a way of setting up a dirtsand default link on the Plasma Console in the same way I can use

/autolink enobmort

when I test using an install of Complete Chronicles with the off line KI

I have had a look through the Plasma Console documentation and I can't see anything but this could just me failing to see something obvious. :shock:

Note: I am using both methods so I can insure both export regimes work.

I don't know what autolink does. What is it that you're trying to do?

If you're asking about linking directly to an Age you're testing in CWE, I already answered this question for you nearly a year ago in your dirtsand thread.

As long as you've linked once to the Age correctly using the console the first time (or so Hoikas has warned me :oops: ), you can subsequently use that shortcut to launch the game directly into the Age you're developing without needing to type anything in the Console at all. It makes iterating Age building so much better and faster! :D

Autolink is an Offline-KI specific command. When you boot the game, one or two second after arriving to Relto it automatically Links you to a specified Age. Slower and more hacky than the Dirtsand command line option, but still useful back in the days.

I reviewed the link and I have got that to work.

I missed it because I thought the age had to be on the server. Doh!

Just put it down to me being stupid.

Yes I get it just need to add the following after -LocalData in the desktop shortcut

-PlayerId=10104 -Age=Exstasis

Obviously with my own KI number and My Required age name.

Just rack it up to me being a standard idiot.

And thank you yet again.

Not a dirtsand command, it's all client-side. :)

Glad you got it working! Happy (much faster) Age building!
