Commands from a parameter:

These are parameters that can be used when running Soldat.exe:

- Soldat.exe -dedicated (starts a Soldat dedicated server)

- Soldat.exe -start (starts the game without entering the menu)

- Soldat.exe -dedicated -start (runs the dedicated server automatically)

- Soldat.exe -join IPnumber (port password)
(runs the game and connects to IPnumber , port and password are optional;

Soldat.exe -join 62.93.201.70
Soldat.exe -join 127.0.0.1 23073 tikikaka)

- Soldat.exe -demo name (freecam speed notexts extract)

speed (0-...%)- how quick the playback will be specified in percents (default 100%)
notexts (0/1) - no texts, menus or cursor will be displayed during playback (default 0)
extract (0/1) - extracts the demo to BMP files (default 0). Later they can be used to make an AVI file in a program like "Bmp2Avi".

example:
Soldat.exe -demo demo12
