Running a script gives a nice, magical screen

[bojidar-bg]

Using the instructions in https://github.com/okamstudio/godot/wiki/command_line#running-a-script I get a magenta (magical pink) window (The scripts does run nevertheless). I think that the window is not needed at all, and it will be better if no window is opened when godot runs with the -s flag... (or maybe a --no-gui flag? 😄 )

OS: Ubuntu-gnome 14-10
GODOT: master

-quiet -nowindow

@captainwasabi nope, doesn't work...

There's no reason to assume that your script will not try to use graphics,
your script is actually capable of running a whole game (it just provides
an implementation of MainLoop). The "server" platform (which compiles only
for linux at the moment, but should be too hard to port) provides a
headless implementation that won't open a window.

Just more FYI. On Windows (8.1) using the example from the wiki, https://github.com/okamstudio/godot/wiki/command_line#running-a-script, using both -silent -nowindow looks like it does run, but nothing prints but engine debug stuff. If I just run with -nowindow it works fine (although I wish there was a way to suppress the engine debug stuff, i.e.

@punto- nice to know... 😄 Maybe when we are able to have many game windows, it will be simpler to do this things...

@bojidar-bg What's the status on this issue?

[bojidar-bg]

@akien-mga There is still no way to make a script run without a window in non-server versions. The best workaround would be:

godot.dbg -r 1x1 -w  -s <path/to/script.gd>

Anyway, it would now display the splash screen, or "nothing", but it would not display pink. So, I guess it might be closeable, but we would need a multiwindow support issue, and/or a nowindow support issue.

I encountered this issue when developing algorithm for #9264 (comment).

So a --nowindow mode for godot -s command will be useful I think.
