NAME
     freeciv-mp-gtk4,  freeciv-mp-gtk3,  freeciv-mp-qt,  freeciv-mp-cli - Custom
     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  ulti-
     mate 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  enthusiasts,
     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  command
     line. By default it lists modpacks from the default list or from list spec-
     ified with --List. One can then run it again by giving appropriate URL from
     the list for --install parameter.

     This manual page only lists the command line arguments. For details regard-
     ing  the  operation  of  freeciv-mp-XXX see README.modpack_installer in the
     Freeciv distribution, and the documentation at the Freeciv website

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 identical.

     -d level, --debug level
	    Sets  the  amount of debugging information to be logged.  Acceptable
	    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 (default).

	    verbose   for fatal, error, warning, normal, and verbose messages.

     -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	location
	    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 subdirectories of
     the  user's  home directory (or another directory specified with --prefix),
     as appropriate:

     * .freeciv/scenarios/

     * .freeciv/3.2/

     The modpack installer maintains a record of  installed  modpack  names  and
     versions in these files:

     * .freeciv/scenarios/.control/mp.db

     * .freeciv/3.2/.control/mp.db

     This information is used for display, and for deciding whether any new mod-
     packs'  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.
