pioneers-meta-server - meta game server for Pioneers

pioneers-meta-server [ -d ] [ -r location ]

This manual page documents briefly the pioneers-meta-server 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. This program provides a piece of network infrastructure that helps match pioneers clients to pioneers servers. Casual players of pioneers probably do not need to run this program.

-d

Run in daemon mode.

-r location

Redirect to location.

The default settings of the meta-server can be influenced with the following three environment variables:

PIONEERS_META_SERVER

The hostname the meta-server will use when creating new games. This should be a hostname that can be resolved by all clients that will connect.

PIONEERS_SERVER_CONSOLE

The path to pioneers-server-console. If it is not set, the default installation path will be used.

PIONEERS_DIR

The path to the game definition files. If it is not set, the default installation path will be used.

/usr/share/games/pioneers/*.game Game definitions
