Instead of having to open a SP map by going into the game then TYPING "open mapname" in the console, i'd like to have the game open a given map automatically. I have TRIED creating a new shortcut from the startup.exe and in the target line putting a space after it then tried many things including the following...
-open mapname
open mapname
"C:\path to map" -open mapname"
"C:\path to map" -open "C:\path to map"

Any every variation i could think of. Is there a way to do this. I mainly just play 4 of those old Kantham maps, so i want to have 4 different shortcuts that each open one of the 4 games.What do you get for error messages when trying to run that INSTRUCTION? Does it give any indication that your even close to the correct instruction. Are you sure the game supports this at the command line... as for many games load a service that is then used for interfacing with maps and CHEATS etc.

I am guessing the console interface is within the game itself and not a DOS SHELL environment and that is the problem.
