When launching your mod via a Command Prompt (CMD .bat file), you can pass optional arguments which will affect the way the mod is loaded by the game. It can be useful for mods which require custom assets and scripts, or if you want to customize it further than that.
Command Line Arguments
Argument | Description | Default Value | Example |
---|---|---|---|
-user | Starts the mod with a different user name.
This is useful for starting a mod with a different set of save files, as they are saved per-user. |
Default
|
Soma.exe -user "Default_dev" |
-cfg | Changes the main config file that is used when starting the mod.
This is useful if the relative path of the config file inside your mod folder is different and you want to point to your file. |
config/main_init.cfg
|
Soma.exe -cfg "config/main_init_dev.cfg" |
-map | The game loads a specific map after startup.
This is useful if you want to load a specific map quickly or if you want to skip the "load map" option in the debug menu. |
Stated at StartMap->File in main_init.cfg .
|
Soma.exe -map "mods/myMod/maps/myMap.hpm" |
-mapfolder | Starts the game with a specific map folder. | Stated at StartMap->Folder in main_init.cfg .
|
Soma.exe -mapfolder "mods/myMod/maps" |
-mappos | Sets a specific start position to be used in a map.

|
Soma.exe -map "PathToMap/myMap.hpm" -mappos "MyPos" |
