Displaying a URL in full-screen mode

Post #1by jfhoff » 12.10.2005, 16:14

I know that Celestia can be invoked in full-screen mode by adding "--fullscreen" to the command line. Are there other options available on the command line (such as a CEL://URL)? Alternatively, can CEL://URLs specify full-screen mode? My objective is to have links in a PowerPoint presentation that bring up Celestia in full-screen mode, displaying a predefined view.

Your tireless support for this awesome, free application is greatly appreciated!

The Windows version of Celestia recognizes the following command line options. Note that the two dashes should not have spaces between or after them.

* - - dir <path>
change root celestia directory to <path>
* - - fullscreen
start Celestia in fullscreen mode
* - - once
send the command line to a running instance of Celestia. If no running instance exists, a new one is started.
* - - url <url>|<filename>
start in the given <url> or if the parameter is the name of a script file, execute <filename>.
* - - verbose > <filename>
write debug messages to <filename>
