Quick Map

[Andrew]

I recall reading somewhere that Rimworld had a quick map or setup argument where it would quickly load the game directly to a small map for testing mods, but I am unable to find it or even confirm if it exists. If anyone could help me out it would be appreciated!

Holy balls. Thank you! :O

It seems to start RimWorld and immediately load a new world with your currently loaded mods.

Steam (directly):
In the main client window, go into RimWorld's properties, then set a launch option like so; -quicktest
Don't forget to remove the launch option when you're done debugging!

Steam (better):

• In the main client window, click on ADD A GAME in the lower left
• Then select Add A Non-Steam Game
• Navigate to your RimWorld folder and select the game's own RimWorldWin.exe
  This will create a shortcut to your Steam install of the game - if you use an alternative install (for modding perhaps) then obviously navigate to that instead
• Right click on your new addition in your Steam library and click on Properties
• Rename it to something like RimWorld Testing
• Click on Set launch options and write -quicktest
• Click on Ok, Close and boot the game through this shortcut whenever you want to quickly test something!

Non-Steam (Windows):

• Navigate to your RimWorld folder and right click on RimWorldWin.exe
• Click on Create shortcut
• Right click on the shortcut and click on Properties
• In the box where it reads Target, put the current file path in double quotation marks, add a space after the closing quotation mark and write -quicktest like in this example;
  C:\Games\Steam\steamapps\common\RimWorld\RimWorldWin.exe
  to
  "C:\Games\Steam\steamapps\common\RimWorld\RimWorldWin.exe" -quicktest
• Click on Ok to save and close the window
• Use your new shortcut to launch a quickstart test version of RimWorld with your currently loaded mods!

I used ILSpy and searched, found this:

Code Select Expand

using System;
using UnityEngine.SceneManagement;

namespace Verse
{
internal static class QuickStarter
{
private static bool quickStarted;

public static bool CheckQuickStart()
{
if (GenCommandLine.CommandLineArgPassed("quicktest") && !QuickStarter.quickStarted && GenScene.InEntryScene)
{
QuickStarter.quickStarted = true;
SceneManager.LoadScene("Map");
return true;
}
return false;
}
}
}

It's in the readme folks ;-)

At least it was last time I checked

Heh. I must have looked over reading that or simply forgotten.
