DESCRIPTION
megaglest, usage

Commandline Parameter: Description: ---------------------- ------------ --help displays this help text. --autostart-lastgame Automatically starts a game with the last game

    settings you played.

If y is not specified (or is empty) then auto test cycles through playing scenarios. Where z is the word exit indicating the game should exit after the game is finished or the time runs out. If z is not specified (or is empty) then auto test continues to cycle.

--connect=x:y Auto connect to host server at IP or hostname x using port y

Shortcut version of using --connecthost and --use-ports.
    *NOTE: to automatically connect to the first LAN

    host you may use: --connect=auto-connect

--connecthost=x Auto connect to host server at IP or hostname x

*NOTE: to automatically connect to the first LAN
    host you may use: --connecthost=auto-connect

Where x is an optional comma delimited command
    list of one or more of the following:

exit - which quits the application after a game
    has no more connected players.

vps - which does NOT read commands from the

local console (for some vps's).
    lan - which does not broadcast the hosting server

    to the masterserver (for local LAN games).

--headless-server-status Check the current status of a headless server. --use-ports=x,y,z Force hosted games to listen internally on port

x, externally on port y and game status on port z.
    Where x is the internal port # on the local

machine to listen for connects
    y is the external port # on the

router/proxy to forward connection
    from to the internal port #

    telling the validation to NOT SHOW duplicate files in the techtree.

*NOTE: This only applies when files are
    purged due to the above flags being set.
