Command line

Starting dedicated server from command line

./SAU.x86_64 -startServer: -scene:Main -portNum:7777 -maxNumPlayers:40 > server_$(date '+%Y-%m-%d_%H.%M.%S').log &

scene represents the scene to load. There are 2 scenes: Main and Demo. portNum is the port number that server will use. maxNumPlayers is the maximum number of players that can connect to the server.

Starting client from command line

./SAU.x86_64 -startClient: -serverIp:127.0.0.1 -portNum:7777 > client.log &

serverIp is IP address of the server. portNum is port number of the server.

Skip texture loading

When running in command line, it can be useful to skip loading textures. Textures are not visible when running in command line and they do not affect game logic. This can be done by adding parameter in config.user.json:

"dontLoadTextures": true,

This will result in lower memory usage and faster world loading.
