/picks switch bug

Postby marauder68 » Fri Oct 13, 2006 1:37 pm

I can't get that switch to work. I have tried 11, 12, 13 and 14 and only ever get 10 picks.

Any suggestions?

/picks = num Sets the starting race picks points to num. Valid values are 10-14 (default is 10). If you try a value outside of the valid range it will use the default. Note: some screens in the game only show the first 11 race picks (it is possible to pick more than 11) ....this comes from LB's patch FAQ

sounds like one of the following would solve it:

- make sure you orion2 version (shown on main screen on right below menu) is 1.40b23.
- make sure your don't have any spaces in the switch..it should be /picks=14 without any spaces in there.
- make sure you are using the correct '/' for the swithes and its all lower case.

Here is an example of how to start orion2 with the switches from the command prompt:

Code: Select all

C:\MPS\Orion2\ORION2~1.EXE /skipintro /picks=14

Thanks! It was the spaces thing- they should not be there!
