SPRING-DEDICATED(6)						       Games						       SPRING-DEDICATED(6)

NAME

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

SYNOPSIS

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

       spring-dedicated --list-config-vars

       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.
