NAME
pioneers-meta-server - meta game server for Pioneers
SYNOPSIS
pioneers-meta-server [options]
DESCRIPTION
Pioneers is an implementation of the popular, award-winning "Settlers
of Catan" board game. 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.
OPTIONS
-h Print a short help text and exit.
-d Run in daemon mode.
-r location
Redirect to location.
-s hostname
Use hostname as hostname when creating servers.
-p from-to
Use ports in the range from-to (inclusive) for started servers.
It is advised not to include port 5555 in the range. (See BUGS
below.)
ENVIRONMENT
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.
FILES
/usr/share/games/pioneers/*.game
Game definitions
BUGS
pioneers-server-console uses port 5555 for its admin connection. This
means that only the first server started from the meta-server will
actually succeed in binding to that. For all subsequent servers, the
admin socket fails to open, and thus cannot be connected to.
