Game Arguments[]
Before you start Barony, game arguments can be written in to force the game to directly load into a specific state. These commands can be everything from changing the resolution to force a specific map to load.
To change the game's arguments:
- Find Barony in your game library
- Right click and press on Properties and then Set launch options...
- Write in the command you want from the list bellow
For more information, Read Steam's guide
These commands are available for the game, extracted from the Readme.txt in the game files;
-windowed - Forces the game to start in a window. -size=???x??? - Sets the display resolution. -map=??? - Choose a map at startup instead of reading the first line from levels.txt. Filetype can be included/excluded at will. -gen=??? - Generates a dungeon to run on startup as opposed to reading the first line from levels.txt. -config=??? - Chooses a config file to execute on startup as opposed to simply running 'default.cfg'. -quickstart=??? - Bypasses the menu/character creation process and simply starts the game with the player as the specified class. -datadir=??? - The directory that game is located in Example: game -windowed -size=960x600 -map=test -quickstart=barbarian The command above starts the game in a window at 960x600 and quickstarts the map "test.lmp" as a barbarian.
Console Commands[]
Some of the console commands, including the descriptions, can be found in a file called Readme.txt at the game's directory.
The file itself is out of date because a lot of console commands change every time the game gets a new update.
To find all console commands up-to-date, you can have a look at the source code.
The console is accessed by pressing the key it's bound to. This can be found in the options under Bindings with the name Console Commands.
Some console commands requires Cheats to be enabled.
This will disable Steam achievements for that save-file.
