Homeworld command line options

[Nemesis 1]

I know there is a command line option to skip the Sierra and Relic intro. movies, but I can't find the bl**dy thing!

 

Can someone jolt my memory?

[CM 1]

IN ORDER TO ADD A COMMAND-LINE PARAMETER, DO THE FOLLOWING:

 

-Go to your Windows menu (as described above).

-Select Run.

-In the Run box, enter the program's executable file, including what folder

it's in on your hard drive, followed by a command line parameter.

 

For example, if you have Homeworld installed on your C: drive as C:\Homeworld,

enter the following in the Run box:

 

C:\Homeworld\homeworld.exe /parameter

CM,

 

Thanks,

 

>> /disableAVI Disable FMV sequences

 

I now have Homeworld running on an IBM ThinkPad 770X with a Voodoo3 2000 PCI card in the Docking Station.

 

And... it... is... slow...
