opentyrian(6) OpenTyrian Manual opentyrian(6)

opentyrian - an open-source port of the DOS game Tyrian

opentyrian [OPTIONS]

Tyrian is an arcade-style vertical scrolling shooter. The story is set in 20,031 where you play as Trent Hawkins, a skilled fighter-pilot employed to fight MicroSol and save the galaxy.

Tyrian features a story mode, one- and two-player arcade modes, and networked multiplayer.

A summary of options is included below.

Display help and exit.
Disable audio.
Disable joystick/gamepad input.
Set alternative Tyrian data directory.
Start a networked game; host is the IP address of your opponent. Use this option together with --net-player-name and --net-player-number to join game.

OpenTyrian uses UDP port 1333 for multiplayer, but in most cases players will not need to open any ports because OpenTyrian makes use of UDP hole punching.

Set name as your alias for multiplayer game.
Select ship; number is either 1 or 2 depending on which ship you intend to pilot.

Set local port to bind.
Set lag-compensation delay.
Disable Christmas mode.
