Running Vegastrike from the Command Line

Vegastrike takes a single command parameter indicating which mission it should load

.\vegastrike mission/explore_universe.mission

is an example of a valid mission call.

The -j flag (must be flush with the system) will force a player to begin in a star system.

.\vegastrike -jvega_sector/vega mission/n_vs_n/confed/confed_2v2.mission

will force the 2v2 mission to run in the vega sector.

Running Vegastrike In Windows

Recommendation: Make sure you have the most recent nVidia drivers. Old nvidia drivers cause problems with display lists and compiled vertex arrays!

• On installation, you need to select the Launcher.exe program. Do so either by viewing the file in the appropriate directory, or from the Start Menu. Select and start Launcher program.
• Before beginning play, you must configure the program to your system. From the launcher, select [OPTIONS], and configure the program. For an explanation of the configuration selections, see Manual:Config.
• To begin play, click on [New Game].
• Type in the name you wish to save to when you choose save at a base.
• Click [OK] and Vegastrike should launch. Be patient while it generates BSP trees for the system - this could take several minutes. Subsequent launches should be quicker.

The default mission (explore_universe) is recommended for an introduction to the Vega Strike trading universe. To get the default mission you need not select a mission initially.

Also, you can sometimes "drag and drop" the mission that you want onto vegastrike (not the launcher, but the vegastrike.exe itself.)
