Greetings,
I have started several threads and a support ticket - but have decided to try placing my request here>
What I am trying to accomplish
I am trying to integrate a set of commands that can be implemented via VA, Batch File, or script to "generate" my in-game universe. In short it would give me the ability to do the following:
1. Start any external tools that I choose to use (VA, EDDB, ED Market Connector, etc.)
2. Start PiPlay/Occulus Home/etc. if appropriate to the mode invoked later
3.

3.
Start Steam VR (when appropriate)
4. Start ED in the appropriate Mode
a. ED (Non-Horizons with indocator for steam mode if necessary)
b. ED Horizons
c. ED VR non-Horizons
d. ED VR Horizons
I already know about a /VR switch and /EDH, but I want to make sure my time gets logged in Steam as well. Also, the inclusion and documentation of these requested switches would alow me to bypass the launcher as I would be pre-selecting which "flavor" of ED I was looking for.
If the switches or a batch/script is already available to accomplish this task and can be used to go directly into ED in the mode requested I would greatly appreciate anyone's input and suggestions in getting this accomplished.
Thanks you for your time
Edit: To make this an easier read, I am going to start 2 Lists here that will be updated with known switches, as well as those that I believe to be useful:
Known Switches:
/ED - Starts Launcher with Only vanilla ED options shown
/EDH - Starts Launcher with only Horizons options available
/steam = this is abit of a weird one. This will run the Steam version of the game withoutlaunching Steam itself. It'll also ensure that you use the Steam-version of thein-game store. I can't really see a practical use for this one and I feel itsoriginal intention may now be lost to time.
Still to be known and documented:
/VR - Can/should this be used in combination with above to further limit to VR only options
/mode:{open|pg:[group name]|solo} - Can/should be used with above for direct launch into preferred playstyle and mode
Others will be added as requested and appropriate...
