I'm trying my hands at modding and I tought it would be convenient to launch FA directly into a sandbox game. But when I open the windows command prompt and enter according to http://wiki.faforever.com/index.php?title=Command_Line_Switches:
- Code: Select all
"C:\ProgramData\FAForever\bin\ForgedAlliance.exe" /init init_faf.lua /windowed 1024 768 /showlog /map SCMP_015 /faction 1 /nofog /victory "sandbox"
I get the following error message:
Unable to launch /maps/SCMP_015/SCMP_015_scenario.lua: ...alliance\gamedata\mohodata.scd\lua\system\import.lua(37): Error importing '/lua/factions.lua'

This happens independently of the map (SCMP_015 is Fields of Isis). And after the error the game proceeds to the main menu and I can manually launch a single-player game without issues.
Also, just using
- Code: Select all
"C:\ProgramData\FAForever\bin\ForgedAlliance.exe" /init init_faf.lua /map SCMP_015 /showlog
Fails with the same error message popup, but actually in a slightly different place in the code:

Adding a "/faction 1" parameter leads to the same "access to nonexistent global variable "__active_mods"" error tough.
I haven't looked into more deeply into this, as I can launch a game trough the menu just fine (altough less conveniently
).
