Faster ways to Test

[diafero]

Yeah, that parameter is quite useful for quick testing. tach mentioned all the rest I could point you to^^

Two comments on the "-iinit" parameter though:
- Do NOT use it for Shards. You are circumventing (parts of) the dataserver if you do so, with unpredictable results on overall stability - not only of your client, but also the server side (especially the vault)
- That command-line tool is not MS-DOS it hardly has anything to do with it, except for the... usability, if you want to call it that way. It's a normal 32bit/64bit windows application. MS-DOS compatibility is not even supported on 64bit systems.

diafero, are you aware of other values for this parameter, or other parameters for uruexplorer?
To D'ni, if I recall, was the name of the first Uru patch after the shutdown. The second was POTS.

It was also -iinit To_Dni for the To D'ni expansion pack. It seems they forgot to change it when releasing PotS (I don't know if you could use -iinit Age_Beyond_Myst in ABM though).

It seems a bad idea indeed for Shard. I guess most of the PRP/Python updates are made by UruStarter and UruSetup ?

This is very helpful. Thanks for the info!

Code: Select all

UruExplorer -iinit To_Dni

will work with ABM, TD, and PotS. Although it's the same name as the first ExPack, it has been around much longer.

As diafero says, do not use it on shards. It also doesn't work in MOUL, where it was disabled/removed.

prp is not the issue, but Python and SDL are updated solely by UruSetup, and the cleanup performed by UruStarter is also circumvented.
