Running Vega Strike from the Command Line

Vega Strike 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 Vega Strike In GNU/Linux

  • Before beginning play, you must configure the program to your system. Run vssetup from the base of the data directory, and configure the program. For an explanation of the configuration selections, see Config.
  • Run vegastrike from the base of your data directory.
  • To begin play, click on [Campaign Game]. Be patient while it generates BSP trees for the system - this could take several minutes. Subsequent launches should be quicker.

Running Vega Strike In Mandrake GNU/Linux

  • Run vegastrike from the terminal (Many thanks to Peroyvind Karlsen for the rpm packaging).
  • 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 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 Vega Strike should launch. Be patient while it generates BSP trees for the system - this could take several minutes. Subsequent launches should be quicker.

Running Vega Strike For Mac to be updated

  • Drag Vega Strike.app to the Applications directory.
  • Double Click on Vega Strike.app

Running Vega Strike In Windows

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

  • Change to the vegastrike/bin directory
  • Before beginning play, you must configure the program to your system. Launch the setup tool and configure the program. For an explanation of the configuration selections, see Configuration.
  • To start Vegastrike from command line you need to execute vegastrike.exe program. Do so either by viewing the file in the appropriate directory, or from the Start Menu.
  • 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 Vega Strike 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.)
