doomsday command line

Hello,
is it possible to disable Doomsday UI and just use doomsday with command line to launch game and mods? I would like to use it to launch it with another frontend.
Thank you for your help.

    Yes, that is possible. The game library UI is skipped if you specify which game/profile to use with the "-game" option. You can see a list of the game IDs to use with "-game" using the listgames console command.

    If you've set up a custom game profile, that can also be loaded: 
    -game "My Custom Game"

    The original "-file" option is still available for loading PWADs, etc.

    ok, nice and last questioon: is it possible to compile Doomsday without graphic interface? If I remember it needs QT libraries? Is it optionnal?

    There is a CMake build option (DENG_ENABLE_GUI) for disabling the client and other GUI stuff, so basically building only the server and the games. You'll still need Qt.
