NAME¶
freeciv-modpack - Custom content installer for the Freeciv game
SYNOPSIS¶
freeciv-modpack [ -h|--help ] [ -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 ultimate goal: To
become the greatest civilization.
Players of Civilization II® by Microprose® 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
("modpacks") 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.
This manual page only lists the command line arguments. For details regarding
the options when using
freeciv-modpack see the documentation at
the Freeciv
website as well as the documentation which is part of the Freeciv
distribution.
