Hey -
is there any way to pass some command line parameters to game.exe and read it from inside the WME script ?

Not natively. You'd need to use the GetCommandLine Windows API function.

[SoundGuy]

can you give me an example of how to use it within the WME code ?
I never used it, i'm used to just getting an array or ARGC ARGV...

Hm, on second thoughts, I can see the function actually returns a pointer to the string containing command line (unlike filling a supplied buffer like most of the other functions do). I'm afraid there's no way for WME script to grab a string passed this way. Plugin is the only way in this case, I think.

Plugin is the only way in this case, I think.

This should do the trick: http://wme.jerrot.de/wme_commandlinehelper.zip

Unzip the plugin into your WME program folder and use it like this from your script:

Code: WME Script

1. var HelperObject = new CommandLineHelper();
2. var params = HelperObject.Parameters;

This only returns a string, so you'll have to care yourself about splitting the string according to your needs with WME's String class.

If you want the C++ code to implement it in your own plugin or whatever, simply add this to your plugin's "GetProperty" method:

Code: C

1.         if({FNAMEL}.html">strcmp(Name, "Parameters")==0)
2.         {
3.                 this->m_Parameters = GetCommandLine();
4.                 Value->SetVal(m_Parameters);
5.                 return true;
6.         }
7.
