Console commands at startup
Console commands can't be executed from the command line in that fashion, but you can get console commands to run at startup using scripts, which you could think of as in-game batch files.
As far as I know, there's no way to run a script from the SRB2 command line (please correct me if I'm wrong on this one), but you can use AUTOEXEC.CFG, which always runs at startup.
To achieve the desired effect, create a file called AUTOEXEC.CFG in the same directory as the SRB2 executable. Fill it with something like this:
addfile some.wad
ringslinger on
startrings 123123
If AUTOEXEC.CFG already exists, add those lines to the end of the file. Also, you could still use the
-file command line option instead of the
addfile command, but I've had nothing but trouble with it.
This has the slight problem of executing these commands every time you start SRB2, which is probably not what you want. Instead, you could create individual script files, and have
exec commands in AUTOEXEC.CFG, which can be added and removed fairly easily. Or better still, bind
exec statements to keys, e.g.:
bind h "exec myscript.txt"
Then, you can press
h in-game to run the script.
