I want to use OpenLevel options “text box” and type something in so that the map opens like as if I check the “Dedicated Server” checkbox in my editor.

How can I do this? “listen” is not a dedicated server, nor is leaving it blank. I know because there is nothing dedicated about those two options.

What is the commandline for dedicated?

How do I do it from within this node:

See the “Options” text box?
