Client Parameter Question

I've asked this question in a couple different places, but nobody really seemed to know the definitive answer.

Whenever I load up SL, it seems that changes made to the debug menus never retain their settings after you reload the client. I always have to manually enable Show Look At and Disable Camera Constraints every time I log on.

Is there any client parameter command-line switch that I can invoke that will automatically enable these two options from the get-go? You know, something like:

SecondLife.exe -set Show_Look_At 1

Thanks in advance for any help.

No. Please see http://rpgstats.com/wiki/index.php?title=ClientParameters on the officialy-sanctioned temporary substitute Wiki, or http://72.14.207.104/search?q=cache:zEi_4PaUAs0J:secondlife.com/badgeo/wakka.php%3Fwakka%3Dnewview+newview.exe&hl=en&gl=us&ct=clnk&cd=4 from the Google Caches or http://secondlife.com/badgeo/wakka.php?wakka=newview on the official Wiki itself, if it is up when you read this. Anyone have a better Google Cache link?

well when it went down there was a few choices, 2004 or 2005 or the copy i made on june 24th ... since then strife has made one from the sept 9th google cache altho all the links point to the downed wiki page...

if the real wiki isnt up bout half way tru this week ill continue working on strife's copy, which with the google headers, and the fact that none of the links are standardised (in mine all the links are all lowecase, the real site and the google copy are mixed) has made it a REAL PITA to deal with

Im kinda stalling, hoping that the real wiki gets back and running on its new home :)

:confused:Erm, not what I meant; I meant a better link to the page AS IT EXISTS IN GOOGLE`S CACHE, not as someone else copied it from the cache. IE, a link to the cache itself, like I provided/tried to provide.

Thanks Llauren! I actually already found the wiki page with the Client Parameter switches before asking the question. What piqued my interest was the client parameter -set switch:

-set <variable> <value>

Which is why I asked in my original post if there was a parameter variable I could use such as:

-set Show_Look_At 1

My difficulty was that I couldn't locate what <variable> values I could use. Do you happen to have a listing of the available <variable> values that can be used from the client parameter -set switch? Thanks again!

I examined the Second Life executable file to see if I could find an undocumented setting for this, but there doesn't appear to be one.
