FRED Command Line Reference
Unless running from a command prompt, to use command lines, it is necessary to use a shortcut.
Contents

-glow
This option enables FRED to use glowmaps.
-spec
This option enables FRED to use specular highlights that is to use shinemaps.
-fredhtl
Using this command line option, FRED2_Open will run in HTL mode.
-no_warn
Removes the various warnings displayed when FRED is not happy about a certain aspect of a mission. Only use this if you know what you're doing, as the warnings are there for a reason and ignoring them can in some cases lead to crashes during play.
-mod
The mod option allows FRED to work with mods, and functions exactly like the FS_Open equivalent. Multimods are possible as well, by separating the mods with a comma. For it to work properly, this has to be the last command line option.
