NAME¶

opencity — a 3D city simulator game

SYNOPSIS¶

opencity [-fs | --full-screen] [-glv | --gl-version] [-dd | --data-dir newDataPath] [-cd | --conf-dir newConfigPath] [-na | --no-audio] [--generator-height-map heightMapPicture | (--generator-seed seed [--generator-map MAP-TYPE] [--generator-water WATER-TYPE] [--generator-map-shape MAP-SHAPE-TYPE] [--generator-tree-density TREE-DENSITY-TYPE])]

DESCRIPTION¶

This manual page documents opencity command.

OPTIONS¶

-fs | --fullscreen

Enable fullscreen mode

-glv | --gl-version

Show the information of the current available OpenGL implementation on your machine then quit

-dd | --data-dir newDataPath

Specify to new path to OpenCity's data. For example: --data-dir /home/foo/bar/share/opencity/

-cd | --conf-dir newConfigPath

Specify to new path to OpenCity's configuration. For example: --conf-dir /home/foo/bar/etc/opencity/

-na | --no-audio

Disable the audio system

--generator-height-map heightMapPicture

Load a gray-level picture as height map (PNG). The water level is gray level 128, each map level is one gray level. That's why the whole picture seems to be in a medium gray, because there's only a minor difference between the pixels. You can draw yourself the height-map or generate from any map sources. The interesting data for this work are the DEM satellite data. The map generator in OpenCity will crop the picture if it's too big.

--generator-seed seed

The seed is the random integer seed used by the map generator

--generator-map MAP-TYPE

MAP-TYPE: 0=plain (default), 1=hill, 2=mountain

--generator-water WATER-TYPE

WATER-TYPE: 0=dry, 1=lake (default), 2=coast

--generator-map-shape MAP-SHAPE-TYPE

MAP-SHAPE-TYPE: 0=none (default), 1=island, 2=volcano, 3=crater

--generator-tree-density TREE-DENSITY-TYPE

TREE-DENSITY-TYPE: 0=sparse (default), 1=normal, 2=dense
