FREECIV(6) Games Manual FREECIV(6) NAME freeciv-mp-gtk4, freeciv-mp-gtk3, freeciv-mp-qt, freeciv-mp-cli - Cus- tom content installers for the Freeciv game SYNOPSIS freeciv-mp-XXX [ -d|--debug level ] [ -h|--help ] [ -i|--install URL ] [ -L|--List URL ] [ -p|--prefix directory ] [ -v|--version ] DESCRIPTION Freeciv is a free turn-based multiplayer strategy game, in which each player becomes the leader of a civilization, fighting to obtain the ul- timate goal: To become the greatest civilization. Players of Civilization II(R) by Microprose(R) should feel at home, since one aim of Freeciv is to have compatible rules. Freeciv is maintained by an international team of coders and enthusi- asts, and is easily one of the most fun and addictive network games out there! This is the custom content installer program - see also freeciv- server(6) freeciv-client(6) . This program allows users to select and download add-on content ("mod- packs") for Freeciv from the Internet, either from a list maintained by the Freeciv team, or by using a URL obtained by other means. It takes care of installing the files in the correct place under the user's home directory for this version of Freeciv; it does not install anything for system-wide use. freeciv-mp-cli is a version of the modpack installer usable from com- mand line. By default it lists modpacks from the default list or from list specified with --List. One can then run it again by giving appro- priate URL from the list for --install parameter. This manual page only lists the command line arguments. For details re- garding the operation of freeciv-mp-XXX see README.modpack_installer in the Freeciv distribution, and the documentation at the Freeciv website <https://www.freeciv.org/> OPTIONS All options have a short form (single hyphen and single letter) and a long form (double hyphen and a complete word); their effects are iden- tical. -d level, --debug level Sets the amount of debugging information to be logged. Accept- able values for the level are: fatal for fatal messages only. error for fatal and error messages. warning for fatal, error and warning messages normal for fatal, error, warning and normal messages (de- fault). verbose for fatal, error, warning, normal, and verbose mes- sages. -h, --help Prints a short summary of the command line options. -i URL, --install URL Automatically install modpack from a given URL. -L URL, --List URL Gets modpack list from given URL, rather than the standard loca- tion on the Freeciv team's servers. -p directory, --prefix directory Installs modpacks under given directory hierarchy. -v, --version Prints the version number and exits. FILES freeciv modpack installer installs files to the following subdirecto- ries of the user's home directory (or another directory specified with --prefix), as appropriate: • .freeciv/scenarios/ • .freeciv/3.1/ The modpack installer maintains a record of installed modpack names and versions in these files: • .freeciv/scenarios/.control/mp.db • .freeciv/3.1/.control/mp.db This information is used for display, and for deciding whether any new modpacks' dependencies are already satisfied. It is not used by the other Freeciv programs, and can fairly safely be removed if it gets out of sync with the actual state of installed modpacks. These are sqlite files whose format is subject to change. ENVIRONMENT freeciv modpack installer accepts these environment variables: HOME Specifies the user's home directory. http_proxy Set this variable accordingly when using a proxy. LANG or LANGUAGE Sets the language and locale on some platforms. LC_ALL or LC_CTYPE Similar to LANG (see documentation for your system). USER Specifies the username of the current user.
