NAME
pioneers - network implementation of Settlers of Catan
SYNOPSIS
pioneers [
--server server ] [
--port port ] [
--name name ]
DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents briefly the
pioneers command.
Pioneers is an implementation of the popular, award-winning "Settlers
of Catan" board game for the GNOME desktop environment. It uses a
client/server model for networked play of between two and eight
players. You will need to connect to a machine running either
pioneers-server-gtk or
pioneers-server-console to play. An AI
client,
pioneersai, is also available.
OPTIONS
Pioneers accepts the standard GTK+/GNOME commandline options, and the
following options:
-s, --server server Hostname of the server
-p, --port port Portname of the server
-n, --name name Use this name for the player instead of the name in the
settings file
-v, --spectator Connect as spectator instead of as a player
-m, --metaserver metaserver Connect to this metaserver instead of the metaserver in the
settings file
--debug Turn on debugging mode
--version Show the version and quit
When the server and port are both provided, the client automatically
quits when the connection is broken.
ENVIRONMENT
The default settings can be influenced with the following environment
variable:
PIONEERS_METASERVER The hostname of the metaserver. If it is not set, the default
metaserver will be used.
