launching DM client from shortcut

Post by KinX » Fri Dec 12, 2003 6:30 am

i dunno if you DM's already know about this, but i thought i'd post it anyway:

Craig Welburn - Live Team Programmer -

Launching The DM Client Directly:
Yes you can do this (This is for WinXP).
- Create a normal shortcut to nwmain.exe.
- Then right click on the shortcut and select properties.
- Click on the Shortcut tab at the top.
- Under "Target" add the command line switch "-dmc" to the end.
- Apply the change.

It should now launch the game as the DM Client.

I think they fixed that in the previous patch, when they also fixed it for PC's.

I used to use them, but my desktop became toc cluttered with NWN icons, and it's cluttered enough as it is.

Some of our newer DM's may not have known about this, thanks Kinx for the reminder.

Forget the desktop, I use my Office shortcut bar to hold all my Avlis shortcuts! :lol:
