DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents briefly the pioneers command.
Pioneers is an implementation of the popular, award-winning "Settlers
of Catan" board game for the GNOME desktop environment. It uses a
client/server model for networked play of between two and eight players. You will need to connect to a machine running either pioneersserver-gtk or pioneers-server-console to play. An AI client, pioneersai, is also available.
OPTIONS
Pioneers accepts the standard GTK+/GNOME commandline options, and the
following options:
- -s, --server server
- Hostname of the server
- -p, --port port
- Portname of the server
- -n, --name name
- Name of the player
- When the options are provided, the client automatically quits when the connection is broken.
ENVIRONMENT
The default settings can be influenced with the following environment
variable:
- PIONEERS_META_SERVER
- The hostname of the meta-server. If it is not set, the default meta-server will be used.
DEVELOPERS AND TRANSLATORS
With the commandline option --language code the values of the environment variables LANGUAGE and LC_ALL can be overriden. The code should be
one of the 2-letter language code pioneers understands.
