Command-Line Arguments and Switches

This page contains details on all command-line switches implemented within the engine. These can be passed through to the engine when executing.

Argument/Switch	Flags	Description
-autogenplugins		Automatically generate XML plugins for Guerilla at startup.
-console		Enables the in-game console in a Release build. If the project author has disabled use of the console in Release builds, then this switch will have no effect.
-devmode		Enables in-engine development tools in a Release build. If the project author has disabled use of debug tools in Release builds, then this switch will have no effect.
-dpi_unaware		Instructs the program to run in a DPI-unaware mode. Will only have an effect when used with the game executable.
-sdl_single_buffer		Instructs SDL to run in single-buffer mode. Will only have an effect when used with the game executable.
-skipshowwindow		Instructs the engine to skip showing the engine window. This is primarily intended for internal use for the Editing Kit, where window showing/hiding is handled externally. If passed to the engine executable directly, the main window will never be displayed.
-dotnet		Legacy compatibility flag used by C#/.NET based editing tools. No longer used.
