Hi GeoffM, Real quick question, are there any arguments I can pass to SimSig either via a shortcut with added args, or from the command line, to load the software with some predefined settings... e.g. SimSiglauncher.exe --route KingsCross --timetable "XX/XX/XX Summer" --host-server 50505 something like this? If not is it something that could potentially be added to the next version of the launcher? I would be really keen to programmatically launch Sims. Best Regards, Rob Log in to reply |

See this page, although I've no idea to what extent they actually work (and some are listed as "Not implemented" anyway).

Hi Jan, Thanks for the info. Unfortunately it seems true that all of these are not implemented, for instance I can launch the launcher with -action:load and it does open the load dialogue box but unfortunately none of the additional arguments work. Anyway until this gets implemented I'll see if I can work around with selenium or something. Best Regards, Rob Log in to reply |

Be interesting to have a unique ID you'd need to parse out the options flags and thats just for launching , you'd need to pass IP addresses etc

Well, my plan was to make a web based "SimSig Server Hosting" tool, so we can allow users who are not familiar with hosting the server and port forwarding and all that good stuff login using some account and once approved launch SimSig sessions and get connection information. Things I am struggling with are.... Stuff I am looking to get working... a) How to launch the sim (currently using Selenium to launch it very much how it would be launched on a normal Windows box) b) How to accept / deny users (Again using parsing of the UI components and input via Selenium) Stuff I am putting to one side for now... c) How to deal with advanced stuff like incident management, train list and so on (currently not on the roadmap) Anyway, I'll let you guys see a prototype once I have something reasonable created. But for sure it would be good to get this into the SImSig roadmap. Maybe even just a dedicated server mode, which runs headless and can be controlled by somebody with a password remotely from a SimSig client once it is launched.
