Executable flags

[slacker25]

Does anyone know is there a way to add executable flags like say .exe -window type flags in cider

[Sh33m4]

Inside the Cider wrapper navigate to Contents > Resources > Preferences > Config

 

Open Config in your text editor of choice.

 

Go to the very bottom of the file and you should see something like this:

 

[AppDefaults\\eReg.exe\\transgaming]
"Disable" = "Y"

 

Copy these two lines, then change "eReg.exe" to the name of your executable.

 

Next change the "Disable" to "cmdlineadd" and instead of the "Y" put in your flags.

 

Here's an example of my HL2 - Episode Two Cider:

 

[appdefaults\\hl2.exe\\transgaming]
"cmdlineadd" = "-novid -steam -game ep2 -dxlevel 81"

 

Note that you will have to trash the preferences of your application in youraccountname/Library/Preferences for this to work.

 

Hope that helps.

 

EDIT:

 

If you are using the new CoH 2060 Cider, there's an easier option. Just go to Contents > Info.plist and find this:

 

<key>CiderGameOptions</key>
<string>-- cohupdater.exe -test</string>

 

Change the "cohupdater.exe" to the name of your executable and then write your flags (like the -test above).

 

Again, this is what HL2 - Episode Two would look like:

 

<key>CiderGameOptions</key>
<string>-- hl2.exe -novid -steam -game ep2 -dxlevel 81</string>

@Sh33m4 .... thank yuo very much i will give this a try

steamemu (Steam emulator)

 

Here's an example of my HL2 - Episode Two Cider:

 

[appdefaults\\hl2.exe\\transgaming]
"cmdlineadd" = "-novid -steam -game ep2 -dxlevel 81"

If you are using steamemu can you explain it's usage under Cider - what files are needed, where to place them, configs and inis, etc.

Hmm now that I think about it, I don't believe the -steam flag has to be there at all. It's not like I got steam working.. I just copied some of the flags from some other HL2 release... sorry I can't help with that.

@Pluto999 Steam itself does not work in cider have to use anti steam crack on the games

[Sh33m4]

@slacker25: Did you try my suggestions? More importantly, did they work?

[slacker25]

@Sh33n4 : they did not work but im still working on weather or not it was just that it didnt like the flags i threw at it or if it was the suggestions

Trying to get games to run in window mode seeing as how my hack vid cards dont seem to like the full screen

Yes, I've seen no-Steam patches and launchers for LAN play for some games but have to test them on Mac.

i need some help i want to launch this command

 

et +set fs_game tcetest

 

here is what my config looks like

 

[AppDefaults\\ET.exe\\transgaming]

"Disable" = "Y"

 

[appdefaults\\ET.exe\\transgaming]

"cmdlineadd" = "+set fs_game tcetest"

[appdefaults\\ET.exe\\transgaming]

"cmdlineadd" = "+set fs_game tcetest"

 

And that's not working? Hmm try deleting this:

[AppDefaults\\ET.exe\\transgaming]
"Disable" = "Y"

 

Also, this might be a stupid question but is ET.exe the name of your application?

 

Lastly, be sure to delete the app's preferences before running it again.
