## 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.
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.
In order to prevent auto-update to overwrite your local git clone, its necessary to disable it, using `--no-download`.
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 |
## Cloning the BeamMP repo into the unpacked folder

Most efficient would be to clone the repo directly into the `unpacked` folder.
For `git`, run `git clone https://github.com/yourName/BeamMP` from a PowerShell or CMD window started from the `unpacked` folder
While in the userfolder, make sure theres no `multiplayer` folder left in `mods` and that now there's `unpacked/beammp`
For `git`, run `git clone https://github.com/yourName/BeamMP` from a PowerShell or CMD window started from the `unpacked` folder.
While in the userfolder, make sure theres no `multiplayer` folder left in `mods` and that now there's `unpacked/beammp`.
Now give the dev mode a try. Start the BeamMP launcher, start BeamNG manually, once ingame make sure that BeamMP is the only active mod.
You should be able to use BeamMP as usual.
