NAME

       freecraft - Realtime strategy game

SYNOPSIS

       freecraft  [-c  file.ccl]  [-d  datapath]  [-D  depth]  [-e]  [-f factor] [-F] [-l logfile] [-L lag] [-n [localport:]host[:port]] [-N name]
       [-p nplayers] [-h] [map.pud|map.pud.gz|map.cm|map.cm.gz]"

DESCRIPTION

       This manual page documents briefly the flags that you can give to freecraft , formerly known as ALE Clone.

       freecraft is a free clone of Blizzard's famous realtime strategy game, WarCraft II.

OPTIONS

       A summary of options are included below.

       -h     Show summary of all options.

       -c file.ccl
	      Choose a different clone config file.

       -d datapath
	      Choose a different directory to use for game data files.

       -D depth
	      Set the video mode depth, often called 'bpp' or 'bits per pixel'. This option is only valid for Win32/NT.

       - e    Start the editor included in FreeCraft. For a full-featured editor, try crafted.

       -f factor
	      With this parameter you will set up the relative cost for the computer's units.  Default is 100. If you set this to a higher  value,
	      computer will have to spend more resources for creating units, and viceversa.

       -F     With  this  option  you  can start FreeCraft in full screen video mode. This option is only supported if you have compiled freecraft
	      with SDL support.

       -h     This flag shows the online help.

       -l file
	      With this option you can log freecraft messages into file.

       -L lag This sets the network lag in number of frames (default 10 = 333 ms).

       -n [localport:]host[:port]
	      With this option you can specify the network arguments for network play.

       -N name
	      The name of the player (will appear in network games).

       -P port
	      With this option you can set the network port to use in network games.  The default value is port tcp/6660.

       -s number
	      Number of frames before AI awakes. This is useful if the AI is beating you hard, and you want to make  it  sweet	like  a  cat.  The
	      higher, the easier will be the game against the AI. Default is to sleep 0 time frames.

FILES

       /usr/share/games/freecraft/default
	      Default directory for FreeCraft data files

       /usr/share/games/freecraft/default/default.pud.gz
	      Default PUD.

       /usr/share/games/freecraft/default/ccl/clone.ccl
	      Default start file.

SEE ALSO

       More complete documentation is available in /usr/share/doc/freecraft.

NOTES

       FreeCraft  needs  a  lot of data (maps and artwork), that can come from WarCraft II CD, or from the FreeCraft Media Project, codename fcmp,
       that has support for almost all the data present in WarCraft II.

       WarCraft II is a registered trademark of Blizzard Entertainment.

EXAMPLE

       After decompressing the game data directory, we call it /path/foo for convient, please use the follow command to perform the game:

       onscripter -r /path/foo

       If the game is not containing default.ttf, we can use -f to assign one as following:

       onscripter -r /path/foo -f /usr/share/fonts/truetype/vlgothic/VL-Gothic-Regular.ttf
