FREECIV21-RULEUP(6)	       Freeciv21 Manual		   FREECIV21-RULEUP(6)

NAME
       freeciv21-ruleup	- Command line ruleset upgrade tool for	Freeciv21.

SYNOPSIS
       freeciv21-ruleup	[ -r|--ruleset <RULESET> ] [ -o|--output <DIRECTORY> ]
       [ -h|--help ] [ -v|--version ]

DESCRIPTION
       Freeciv21  is a free open source	turn-based empire-building 4x strategy
       game, in	which each player becomes the leader of	 a  civilization.  You
       compete	against	several	opponents to build cities and use them to sup-
       port a military and an economy. Players strive to  complete  an	empire
       that  survives  all encounters with its neighbors to emerge victorious.
       Play begins at the dawn of history in 4,000 BCE.

       Freeciv21 takes its roots in the	well-known FOSS	game Freeciv  and  ex-
       tends  it for more fun, with a revived focus on competitive multiplayer
       environments. Players can choose	from over 500  nations	and  can  play
       against the computer or other people in an active online	community.

       The code	is maintained by the team over at Longturn.net and is based on
       the  QT	framework.  The	game supports both hex and square tiles	and is
       easily modified to create custom	rules.

       This command line utility allows	a user to upgrade a  ruleset  designed
       for  an	older  version	of  Freeciv21  to  work	 on  a	newer version.
       freeciv21-ruleup	does not create	well-formatted human-readable  ruleset
       files, so some hand editing will	be needed to aid readability.

OPTIONS
       The  following  options	are accepted on	the command line of the	ruleup
       tool. They may not be  combined	as  with  other	 tools.	 For  example:
       freeciv21-ruleup	 -ro ~/myrulset	~/myupgradedruleset will not work. In-
       stead  you  will	 need  to  enter  each	option	separately,  such  as,
       freeciv21-ruleup	-r ~/myruleset -o ~/myupgradedruleset.

       -F, --Fatal
	      Raise  a signal on failed	assertion. An assertion	is a code cal-
	      culation error. With this	set, the client	process	will  SEGFAULT
	      instead of issuing a warning message to the terminal console.

       -r, --ruleset
	      The path to the old ruleset that needs to	be upgraded.

       -o, --output
	      The path to write	the upgraded ruleset.

       -h, --help
	      Display help on command line options.

       --help-all
	      Display help including Qt	specific options.

       -v, --version
	      Display version information.

       USER   Specifies	the username of	the current user.
