Here is a list of parameters, that are accepted by Warcraft III (war3.exe):
Syntax: -[command]
Example: -window
window = Window Mode (starts WC3 windowed)
fullscreen = Full Screen Mode (not needed, this is default)
gametype
loadfile <Path> = Load a file (makes only sense, when loading a map or a replay)
datadir
classic = Runs RoC
swtnl = Software TnL (just a guess)
opengl = OpenGL Mode
d3d = Direct3D Mode (not needed, this is default)

Replay can be loaded too

But how did you find it ?

1) Thanks for the info.
2) I got one of them. Then I searched this one with a Hex Editor. The others were among the one. I tested a little around and then I got this list.
3) If anyone else knows anything about these commands, that do stuff that is not "known", please post it here.

Well (kinda OT) but you can do the same with WoW. Anyway, I believe datadir is for setting the directory of your war3 and war3x mpqs. And gametype... no clue.

I guess datadir is suposed to set the root of the "files data dir" whenever the direct mode is enabled (Allow Local Files), altough I am not sure.
