It is possible to start a replay or save file directly from the terminal issuing the standalone {{{hwengine}}} utility with very simple syntax.
== Standard Use ==
-{{{$ hwengine [path to hedgewars folder] <path to data folder> <path to replay file>}}}
+{{{$ hwengine <path to replay file> [options]}}}
-The data folder is where you installed the game, or where you configured it at compile time.
-By default it is contained in the following directory:
-
- * _Windows_: {{{%USERPROFILE%\Hedgewars}}}
- * _Linux_: {{{~/.hedgewars}}}
- * _Mac OS X_: {{{~/Library/Application Support/Hedgewars}}}
+By default hwengine will look in the current folder for game assets, if you wish to use another directory you should set the --prefix option.
The replay file can be stored anywhere.
== Advanced Use ==
It is possible to specify settings by adding additional arguments:
- * {{{--user-dir [path to hedgewars folder]}}} - Sets the path to game folder
+ * {{{--prefix [path to hedgewars folder]}}} - Sets the path to game folder
+ * {{{--user-prefix [path to hedgewars folder]}}} - Sets a secondary folder to find game content
* {{{--locale [path to language file]}}} - Sets the game language
* {{{--width [size]}}} - Starts the game with the given width (in pixels)
* {{{--height [size]}}} - Starts the game with the given height (in pixels)
