## Enabling dev mode in BeamMP ## Enabling dev mode in the BeamMP launcher
By starting the launcher with the arguments ` 0 0` its development mode will be enabled. This will do two things, deactivate automatic mod updates and deactivate auto-starting BeamNG. In order to prevent auto-update to overwrite your local git clone, its necessary to disable it, using `--no-download`.
On Windows you can achieve this by opening the settings of the launcher shortcut on your desktop. Then add ` 0 0` (thats spaceZEROspaceZERO) to the end of the shortcut link. If you also dont want the launcher to start beamNG and would like to see debug prints, then using `--dev` is advised.
Once dev mode was succesfully enabled, the launcher will stop with `[DEBUG] Core Network on start!` and wait until BeamNG was started by the user. You can use the following launch arguments:
| `--help` or `-h` | Will print the following list of arguments |
| `--port <port>` or `-p` | Change the default listen port to <port>. This must be configured ingame, too |
| `--verbose` or `-v` | Verbose mode, prints debug messages |
| `--no-download` | Skip downloading and installing the BeamMP Lua mod |
| `--no-update` | Skip applying launcher updates (you must update manually) |
| `--no-launch` | Skip launching the game (you must launch the game manually) |
| `--dev` | Developer mode, same as --verbose --no-download --no-launch --no-update |
| `--game <args...>` | Passes arguments to the game |
