endless-sky(6) Endless Sky endless-sky(6) NAME endless-sky - a space exploration and combat game. SYNOPSIS endless-sky [-h] [--help] [-v] [--version] [-s] [--ships] [-w] [--weapons] [-t] [--talk] [-r] [--resources] [-c] [--config] [-p] [--parse-save] [--test] DESCRIPTION Endless Sky is a space exploration and combat game combining action and role playing elements. Explore other star systems. Earn money by trading, carrying passengers, or completing missions. Use your earnings to buy a better ship or to upgrade the weapons and engines on your current one. Blow up pirates. Take sides in a civil war. Or leave human space behind and hope to find some friendly aliens whose culture is more civilized than your own. For keyboard controls, click the "Preferences" button on the title screen. You can pause and return to the title screen at any point in the game by pressing <escape>. Most of the controls should be self-explanatory. Your ship has no reverse thrusters, so as with a real spacecraft, the only way to slow down is to turn your ship around and accelerate in the opposite direction from your current heading. To assist with some tricky maneuvers, your ship has an au- topilot which engages when you press 'L' to land or 'J' to enter hyper- space; the autopilot disengages if you press any of the movement keys. The autopilot will also automatically aim your ship if you are firing a weapon and have a target selected. For a manual and other information, visit https://endless-sky.github.io When run from the command line, if a resource directory is not specified, the program will check to see if the current directory contains directories named "data" and "images" and files named "keys.txt" and "credits.txt"; if so it will read resources from the current directory. Otherwise it will use /usr/local/share/games/endless-sky if it exists, or /usr/share/games/end- less-sky/ otherwise. OPTIONS -h, --help prints a short help message. -v, --version prints the software version. -t, --talk reads a data file from STDIN and looks for a "conversation" node at the root level (i.e. not indentated). If it finds one, that conver- sation is displayed in a pop-up dialog. This is for testing conver- sations in a new mission you are developing. -r, --resources <directory> sets the directory from which game resources (images, etc.) will be loaded. -c, --config <directory> sets the directory where preferences and saved games will be stored. -p, --parse-save prints any content or whitespace-formatting errors found while load- ing data files and the most recent saved game. This option prevents the game from launching. --parse-assets prints any content, whitespace-formatting, image, or sound errors found while loading data, image, and sound files and the most recent saved game. This option prevents the game from launching. --test <name> execute the test case with the given name. By default, the game will be muted while running tests. --testsprints (to STDOUT) a list of available tests, usable for automatic test runs. This option prevents the game from launching. --nomute prevents muting the game when running tests. -s, --ships prints (to STDOUT) a table of ship stats (just the base stats, not considering any stored outfits). This option prevents the game from launching. --salesprints (to STDOUT) a table of ships with every 'shipyard' each appears in. --loaded prints (to STDOUT) a table of ship stats accounting for in- stalled outfits. Does not include variants. --list prints (to STDOUT) a list of all ship names. --variants consider ship variants as well. -w, --weapons prints (to STDOUT) a table of characteristics of all the available weapons. This option prevents the game from launching. -e, --engines prints (to STDOUT) a table of characteristics of all the available engines. This option prevents the game from launching. --powerprints (to STDOUT) a table of power outfit stats. -o, --outfits prints (to STDOUT) a table of characteristics of all the available outfits. This option prevents the game from launching. --salesprints (to STDOUT) a list of outfits and every 'outfitter' each appears in. -a, --all prints a table of outfits and all attributes used by any out- fits present. --salesprints (to STDOUT) a list of all shipyards and outfitters and the ships and outfits they each contain. -s, --ships prints a list of shipyards and the ships they each contain. -o, --outfits pritns a list of outfitters and the outfits they each con- tain. --planets prints (to STDOUT) a list of all planets. --descriptions prints (to STDOUT) a table of all planets and their descrip- tions. --attributes prints (to STDOUT) a table of all planets and their attrib- utes. --reverse prints (to STDOUT) a table of all planet attributes and which planets have them. --systems prints (to STDOUT) a list of all systems. --attributes prints (to STDOUT) a list of all systems and their attrib- utes. --reverse prints (to STDOUT) a list of all system attributes and which systems have them. --matches reads a data file from STDIN and looks for a "location" node at the root level (i.e. not indentated). If it finds one, prints a list of all systems and planets which match the location filter in that node. --changes prints a list of changes from the "recent" save file. Includes data changes from events referred to only by name as children of the "event" node.
