NAME

       lierolibre - script to launch lierolibre

SYNOPSIS

       lierolibre [inputfile [inputdir [outputfile]]]

       lierolibre [-f|--file inputfile] [-d|--dir inputdir] [-w|--write outputfile]
                  [-v|--sdlvideo videodriver] [-h|--help]

DESCRIPTION

       lierolibre is an  old-school earthworm action game. It is a direct fork of Liero.

       Features:

              • 2 worms, 40 weapons, great playability, two game modes: Kill'em All and Game of
                Tag, plus AI-players without true intelligence!

              • Extensions via a hidden F1 menu:

                • Replays, game controller support, powerlevel palettes

              • Fullscreen, x2, x3 and x4 scaling via the F5, F6, F7 and F8 keys

       lierolibre is a script which executes the lierolibre binary from the
       /usr/lib/games/lierolibre directory. The script defaults to using the directory
       /usr/share/games/lierolibre as the inputfile parameter.

       If inputfile points to a directory (which is the default case), lierolibre copies the file
       liero.cfg from this directory to $HOME/.lierolibre/ unless it already exists in this
       location.  liero.cfg is a plain text file which can be modified, go wild! But don't be
       surprised if the game crahes ;)

OPTIONS

       [-f|--file] inputfile
              Reads game variables from the given file or directory.

              If inputfile points to a directory or a file with an unknown extension, and
              inputdir is not set,
              OR
              if inputfile points to a directory and inputdir is set,
              the game will try to load the liero.cfg file from $HOME/.lierolibre/ first,
              otherwise it loads it from the directory of inputfile.

       [-d|--dir] inputdir
              Reads the files LIERO.CHR LIERO.SND NAMES.DAT from the given directory. If not set,
              the game uses the directory of inputfile instead.

       [-w|--write] outputfile
              Writes all game variables to a plain text file.

       -v|--sdlvideo videodriver
              Sets the SDL_VIDEODRIVER environment variable.

       -h|--help
              Print a brief help overview.

EXAMPLES

       lierolibre mymod/LIERO.EXE
           Reads game variables from a (potentially) modded EXE file, and reads game data from
           files in mymod/.

       lierolibre -f mymod/LIERO.EXE -d /usr/share/games/lierolibre -w mymod_liero.cfg
           Reads game variables from a (potentially) modded EXE file and writes them to a plain
           text config file (and starts the game).

       lierolibre mymod_liero.cfg mydata
           Reads game variables from a custom plain text config file, and reads the game data
           from another directory.
