maa-startup(1)

okay so bestie, welcome to maa-startup(1) — the General Commands Manual page for the maa startup main-character era. it’s giving “boot the game and slide into the main screen,” and we’re gonna go through every flag without missing a single crumb 💅✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

maa-startup — Startup Game and Enter Main Screen 🎮👑

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

here’s the whole invocation, verbatim so you can copy-paste and slay:

maa startup [--account-name] [-a|--addr] [-p|--profile]
[--user-resource] [--dry-run] [--no-summary] [--no-auto-reconnect]
[--batch] [-v|--verbose]... [-q|--quiet]... [--log-file] [-h|--help]
[CLIENT_TYPE]

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

Startup Game and Enter Main Screen. that’s the whole vibe: start the game, land on the main screen. no extra lore in the source, so we’re not making any up 🫶

💅 OPTIONS 💅

every flag, every crumb, in the same order. let’s go 🍓

• --account-name <ACCOUNT_NAME> — takes an <ACCOUNT_NAME>. the source gives zero extra description here, so this is the whole tea — no invented details, periodt. 🍵
• -a, --addr <ADDR> — this is the ADB serial number of your device, or the MaaTools address you set in PlayCover. by default, MaaCore connects to the game with ADB, and this parameter is the serial number of the device. if you don’t specify it here and it’s not set in the config file, it defaults to emulator-5554. if you wanna use PlayCover, you need to set the connection type to PlayCover in the config file, and then you can specify the address of MaaTools here. 🔌
• -p, --profile <PROFILE> — the profile name, aka the asst config file name. a profile is a config file that contains the configuration passed to MaaCore. by default, we try to load $MAA_CONFIG_DIR/profiles/default.toml. if that file doesn’t exist, we try $MAA_CONFIG_DIR/asst.toml for backward compatibility — that’s the old config file name. if you want a different config file, drop the profile name here. the config file should live in $MAA_CONFIG_DIR/profiles/. 🗂️
• --user-resource — load resources from the config directory. by default, MaaCore loads resources from the resource installed with MaaCore. if you want to modify some configuration of MaaCore or use your own resources, this option loads resources from the resource directory, which is a subdirectory of the config directory. this can also be enabled by setting the key user_resource to true in the asst configure file $MAA_CONFIG_DIR/asst.toml. note: CLI loads resources shipped with MaaCore firstly, then some client specific or platform specific resources when needed, and lastly it loads resources from the config directory. MaaCore will overwrite the resources loaded before if there are resources with the same name. use at your own risk! 😭🔥
• --dry-run — parse your config but do not connect to the game. this is useful when you want to check your config file. it parses your config file and sets the log level to debug. if there are errors in your config file, it prints the error message and exits. 🧪
• --no-summary — do not display task summary. by default, maa displays a task summary after all tasks are finished. if you want to disable that behavior, use this option. 🙈
• --no-auto-reconnect — do not reconnect when the game loses connection to the server. by default, maa automatically reconnects when the game client loses connection to the game server. use this option to disable that behavior for this run. 🔁
• --batch — enable batch mode. if there are some input parameters in the task file, some prompts will be displayed to ask for input. in batch mode, those prompts are skipped, and parameters are set to default values. 🤖
• -v, --verbose — increase verbosity; repeat for more verbosity. 🗣️
• -q, --quiet — decrease verbosity; repeat for more quiet. 🤫
• --log-file[=<PATH>] — redirect the log to a file instead of stderr. if no log file is specified, the log is written to $(maa dir log)/YYYY/MM/DD/HH:MM:SS.log. 📝
• -h, --help — print help (see a summary with -h). 🫶
• [CLIENT_TYPE] — possible values are:
  • Official
  • Bilibili
  • Txwy
  • YoStarEN
  • YoStarJP
  • YoStarKR

and that’s the whole page, bestie 🎀 cute sign-off: this is the startup source/version, under the maa-startup(1) manual name, and the footer date slot is empty in this copy — no fake date, just vibes. 💖✨
