#1402 preload battle to server
I'd like to request that functionality is added so that a dedicated server can be fired up from command line, with both sides of the battle already chosen and the maps.
This would be useful for generating tools to generate content before feeding that directly into Megamek.
So kinda of how MekHQ sends the battle details to Megamek, and it loads up megamek with the forces already added.
Perhaps connected to this (or perhaps already functional) would be the results/units logged after.
In case there is confusion in my description, I'm looking to generate a match generator that once selected/activated would spawn a dedicated server and provide that info to a player. The player would then connect their megamek to the dedicated server that would have the battle ready to start.
I'm sure others might find this useful for modding and battle reports and such. You can current load a saved game from command line, but that is a damn massive file in a horrid format for generating by external tools
If there is a beer/pizza pool/bounty system im more than happy to contribute :)
Thanks for your time.
