NAME

Freesynd - RTS engine.

SYNOPSIS

freesynd [OPTIONS]

DESCRIPTION

FreeSynd - a cross-platform, GPLed reimplementation of engine for the classic Bullfrog game, Syndicate (1993).

OPTIONS

These options are available:

-h or --help: Give the command line options.
-i or --ini <path>: Specify the location of the FreeSynd config file.
-u or --user <path>: Specify the location of the user config file.
--nosound: Disable all sound.

CONFIGURATION

Freesynd sources two configuration files on startup - /usr/local/etc/freesynd.ini and $HOME/.freesynd/user.conf, in that order.

The directory in which the application can read these files can be specified at runtime using the options described in OPTIONS section.

The configuration variables have to be set as follows:

VARIABLE=value: VARIABLE is the name of the variable and value is the value.
Here is a list of options in the freesynd.ini file:
freesynd_data_dir: Path to the FreeSynd "data" directory. If empty, the application will look in a default directory. Only set this if you really need to.
data_dir: Path to the original Syndicate "DATA" directory. If empty, this will be the same as freesynd_data_dir.
Here is a list of options in the user.conf file:
test_data: (true/false) If true, the game will look for Original Syndicate Data and test it
fullscreen: (true/false) If true, the game will run in fullscreen mode.
play_intro: (true/false) If true, the introduction will be played.
language`: 0:english, 1:français, 2:italiano, 3:deutsch
save_data_dir: Directory to save files. By default, it is a save directory near the user.conf file.

NOTES

In order to run FreeSynd a copy of ORIGINAL Syndicate is required.
