NAME

       netPanzer - an online multiplayer tactical warfare game

SYNTAX

       netpanzer [options]

DESCRIPTION

       This  program is a free (GPL) isometric view real-time tactical game designed for play across the Internet and over LAN systems. One on one
       games are  possible via direct connect or modem.

       netPanzer is designed for FAST ACTION combat -- it is not another resource management clone. In fact, there aren't any  resources  at  all.
       Each  player  will  have many units of different types at their disposal. Players can fight until their units are destroyed -- then respawn
       and keep on going.

       The game is real-time, but it's based on quick tactical action and unit management. Battles progress quickly and constantly; in fact,  they
       never let up. There is no stop in the action because there is no waiting for resources to be collected and converted into weaponry. Players
       can join or leave  multiplayer games at any time.

NAME

       spring-dedicated - An open source RTS game engine - Dedicated Server

       spring-dedicated [-i|--isolation] [--isolation-dir PATH] [-C|--config FILE] SCRIPT

       spring-dedicated [-h|--help]

       spring-dedicated --sync-version

       spring-dedicated [-V|--version]

DESCRIPTION

       Spring is a free Real Time Strategy (RTS) game engine, originally designed to play Total Annihilation ((C) 1997 Cavedog) content. It has
       since evolved into a general RTS engine, capable of running various kind of games (mods).

       It is mainly designed around online multiplayer games but can also be played in single-player mode against AIs.

       This is the dedicated, GUI-less server for hosting multiplayer games. You need to feed it a start script in order to have it host a game.
       Start script are generated by lobby clients (SpringLobby) or autho-hosts (Spads, Springie). This is the most leight-weight version of the
       engine, which basically only redirects network traffic, while spring-headless still runs a full blown simulation of the game.

OPTIONS

       -h, --help
	   Print the options help message and exit

       -V, --version
	   Display program version and exit

       --sync-version
	   Display program sync version (for online gaming) and exit

       -i, --isolation
	   Limit the data-dir (games & maps) scanner to one directory (see --isolation-dir and the SPRING_ISOLATED env var)

       --isolation-dir::'PATH'
	   Specify the isolation-mode data-dir (see --isolation and the SPRING_ISOLATED env var)

       -C, --config::'FILE'
	   Configuration file

       --list-config-vars
	   Dump all default config vars in JSON-format to STDOUT

DATA DIR

       Data directories are searched for content, and among other things, may contain: *cache *games *maps *AI

       When running the engine, it may use multiple data directories, but it will use only a single one of them as writable, to write cache & log
       files to.

FILES

	   ~/.spring/

       The default data-directory (see section DATA DIR).

	   ~/.springrc

       Contains the users settings for the engine, for things like graphic and sound.

	   /etc/spring/datadir

       Contains the : separated paths to additional data-dirs (see section DATA DIR).

ENVIROMENT VARIABLES

       SPRING_LOG_SECTIONS Selective functionality to change the verbosity (separated by ,).

       SPRING_DATADIR Adds additional directories Spring will search for files (separated by :).

       SPRING_ISOLATED If defined, Spring will stop searching files outside of the binaries directory. If it is set to a valid directory path, it
       will be used as the isolation directory. See the --isolation and the --isolation-dir options.
