I'm trying to use the Weapontester mod, but I've run in to a slight graphics problem. I run at a custom resolution specified with startup arguments (+szx 1680 +szy 1050); however, when BF2 automatically restarts to load the mod, it ignores that custom resolution, and defaults to a resolution that looks really crappy on my LCD. Basically, I'd like to know if there is a way to load up a mod using startup arguments, so that I can create a second shortcut that loads the Weapontest mod and my custom resolution. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Yes, I already tried the +modpath parameter. I'm not sure of its exact function though. Pointing it towards the Weapontest folder didn't seem to work. Any suggestions?

you need "+modPath mods/FolderName"
so make sure if the folder the mod is in is called "Weapontest" you have "+modPath mods/Weapontest" and not just "+modPath Weapontest"

(that assumes its in the mod folder, Ive never tried using other folders)

Thanks!
You indirectly helped me: I had the syntax right, but had it as "+modpath" rather than "+modPath". Now, I've got the the mod working from a separate shortcut, with my custom resolution.

+1 karma for you!
