NAME

       wesnoth - Battle for Wesnoth, a turn-based fantasy strategy game

SYNOPSIS

       wesnoth [OPTIONS] [PATH_TO_DATA]

DESCRIPTION

       Battle for Wesnoth is a turn-based fantasy strategy game.

       Defeat  all  enemy leaders using a well-chosen cadre of troops, taking care to manage your
       resources of gold and villages. All units have their own strengths and weaknesses; to win,
       deploy  your  forces  to their best advantage while denying your foes the chance to do the
       same. As units gain experience, they acquire new abilities and become more powerful.  Play
       in  your  own  language  and  test  your  skill against a smart computer opponent, or join
       Wesnoth's large community of online players. Create your own custom  units,  scenarios  or
       campaigns, and share them with others.

OPTIONS

       --bpp number
              sets BitsPerPixel value. Example: --bpp 32

       -c, --campaign  [<id_campaign>]
              goes  directly  to the campaign with id <id_campaign>. A selection menu will appear
              if no id was specified.  Note: When  using  this  switch  please  ensure  that  you
              specify  the  data directory path as the final argument as well, otherwise the game
              will take the campaign/scenario id as the data dir.

       --campaign-difficulty <difficulty>
              The difficulty of the specified  campaign  (1  to  max).  If  none  specified,  the
              campaign difficulty selection widget will appear.

       --campaign-scenario <id_scenario>
              The  id  of  the  scenario  from  the  specified campaign. The default is the first
              scenario.

       --config-dir name
              sets the user configuration directory to  name  under  $HOME  or  "My  Documents\My
              Games"  for  windows.   You can also specify an absolute path for the configuration
              directory outside the $HOME or "My Documents\My Games"

       --config-path
              prints the path of the user configuration directory and exits.

       --data-dir <directory>
              overrides the data directory with the one specified

       -d, --debug
              enables  additional  command  mode  options  in-game  (see   the   wiki   page   at
              http://www.wesnoth.org/wiki/CommandMode for more information about command mode).

       -e, --editor file
              start  the  in-game  map  editor  directly.  If file is specified, equivalent to -l
              --load

       --fps  displays the number of frames per second the game is currently  running  at,  in  a
              corner of the screen.

       -f, --fullscreen
              runs the game in full screen mode.

       --gunzip infile.gz
              decompresses  a  file  which should be in gzip format and stores it without the .gz
              suffix. The infile.gz will be removed.

       --gzip infile
              compresses a file in gzip format, stores it as infile.gz and removes infile.

       -h, --help
              displays a summary of command line options to standard output, and exits.

       -l, --load file
              loads the savegame file from the standard  save  game  directory.   If  the  -e  or
              --editor  option is used as well, starts the editor with the map from file open. If
              it is a directory, the editor will start with a load map dialog opened there.

       --log-level=domain1,domain2,...
              sets the severity level of the log domains.  all can  be  used  to  match  any  log
              domain.  Available levels: error, warning, info, debug.  By default the error level
              is used.

       --logdomains [filter]
              lists defined log domains (only the ones containing filter if used) and exits

       --max-fps
              the number of frames per second the game can show, the value should be between  the
              1 and 1000, the default is 50.

       -m, --multiplayer
              runs  a  multiplayer  game.  There are additional options that can be used together
              with --multiplayer as explained below. Only these  additional  options  can  follow
              --multiplayer.

       --no-delay
              runs  the  game  without any delays for graphic benchmarking. This is automatically
              enabled by --nogui.

       --nocache
              disables caching of game data.

       --nomusic
              runs the game without music.

       --nosound
              runs the game without sounds and music.

       --path prints the name of the game data directory and exits.

       --preprocess, -p[=<define1>,<define2>,...] <file/folder> <target directory>
              preprocesses a specified file/folder. The file(s)  will  be  written  in  specified
              target  directory:  a  plain  cfg  file  and  a  processed cfg file. If a folder is
              specified, it will be preprocessed recursively  based  on  the  known  preprocessor
              rules.  The  common  macroses from the data/core/macros will be preprocessed before
              the specified resources.  define1,define2,... - the extra  defines  will  be  added
              before processing the files. If you want to add them you must add the '=' character
              before.  If 'SKIP_CORE' is in the define list the data/core won't be  preprocessed.
              Example:        -p        ~/wesnoth/data/campaigns/tutorial       ~/result       or
              -p=MULTIPLAYER,MY_OWN_CAMPAIGN ~/wesnoth/data/campaign/camp ~/result

       --preprocess-input-macros <source file>
              used  only  by  the  '--preprocess'  command.   Specifies  a  file  that   contains
              [preproc_define]s to be included before preprocessing.

       --preprocess-output-macros [<target file>]
              used  only  by  the '--preprocess' command.  Will output all preprocessed macros in
              the  target  file.  If  the  file  is  not  specified  the  output  will  be   file
              '_MACROS_.cfg' in the target directory of preprocess's command.  This switch should
              be typed before the --preprocess command.

       -r XxY, --resolution XxY
              sets the screen resolution. Example: -r 800x600

       -s, --server [host]
              connects to the specified host if any, otherwise connect to  the  first  server  in
              preferences. Example: --server server.wesnoth.org

       --strict-validation
              validation errors are treated as fatal errors.

       -t, --test
              runs the game in a small test scenario.

       --validcache
              assumes that the cache is valid. (dangerous)

       -v, --version
              shows the version number and exits.

       -w, --windowed
              runs the game in windowed mode.

       --with-replay
              replays the game loaded with the --load option.

Options for --multiplayer

       The  side-specific  multiplayer options are marked with number.  number has to be replaced
       by a side number. It usually is 1 or 2 but depends on the number of  players  possible  in
       the chosen scenario.

       --ai_confignumber=value
              selects a configuration file to load for the AI controller for this side.

       --algorithmnumber=value
              selects  a  non-standard  algorithm  to be used by the AI controller for this side.
              Available values: idle_ai and sample_ai.

       --controllernumber=value
              selects the controller for this side. Available values: human and ai.

       --era=value
              use this option to play in the selected era instead of the Default era. The era  is
              chosen by an id. Eras are described in the data/multiplayer/eras.cfg file.

       --exit-at-end
              exits  once  the  scenario  is over, without displaying victory/defeat dialog which
              requires the user to click OK.  This is also used for scriptable benchmarking.

       --nogui
              runs the game without the GUI. Must appear before --multiplayer to have the desired
              effect.

       --parmnumber=name:value
              sets  additional  parameters  for  this side. This parameter depends on the options
              used with --controller and --algorithm.   It  should  only  be  useful  for  people
              designing their own AI. (not yet documented completely)

       --scenario=value
              selects   a   multiplayer   scenario   by   id.   The   default   scenario   id  is
              multiplayer_The_Freelands.

       --sidenumber=value
              selects a faction of the current era for this side. The faction is chosen by an id.
              Factions are described in the data/multiplayer.cfg file.

       --turns=value
              sets the number of turns for the chosen scenario. The default is 50.

EXIT STATUS

       Normal  exit  status  is  0.  An  exit  status  of 1 indicates an (SDL, video, fonts, etc)
       initialization error. An exit status of  2  indicates  an  error  with  the  command  line
       options.
