Need some clarification with the startgame command, could we have all the options ?

So far, I've got :

Startgame Argument1 Argument2 Argument 3

Argument1 : where the map will be run

PraticeOffline mode



Local_AutomaticUsed for LAN and Custom map



Argument2 : the game name that will appear when joining game

"Whatever you want" Quotes (") are mandatory if you put space or special character in your game name.



Argument 3 : all the other arguments, put a space between them, and a quote before the first one and the last one.

map:Caldavar The map used. For other maps, just go to the maps\ directory and put the name of the .s2z map you want to play.



spectator:10 Put 10 spectator slots. 0 minimum, 10 max. Default : 0



referees:2 Put 2 referee slots. 0 minimum, 2 max. Default : 0



teamsize:5 Make the game 5v5. 1 minimum, 5 max. Default : 5



norespawntimer:true Remove the respawn timer. Default : false



mode:banningdraft Change the mode. Modes : banningdraft, allpick, banningpick, singledraft, etc... Default : AllPick



hardcore:true Put hardcore option on. Default : false




Exemples :
I want to run a WTF game on my dedicated server, 5v5, banning draft, 12 spects, no respawn timer :

startgame local_automatic "Volko's Game : WTF!" "map:caldavarwtf spectators:10 referees:2 teamsize:5 norespawntimer:true mode:banningdraft"



I want to play a Nightmarish game offline :

startgame pratice "Volko's Game : Nightmarish!" "map:nightmarish_003 teamsize:1 hardcore:true"



Need to be completed though ! :)

[domacvv]

Is there a possibility to start multiple bot games via console (cli would be preferable). I'm working currently on my thesis and wanted to collect data from ingame for an imitation + reinforcement learning algorithm which should improve the bot from game to game. I'd also like to ask if there is a way to crawl replay files for ingame data?
Thanks for your help!
Cheers
