DESCRIPTION

Freeciv is a free turn-based multiplayer strategy game, in which each player becomes the
leader of a civilization, fighting to obtain the ultimate goal: To become the greatest
civilization.

Players of Civilization II® by Microprose® should feel at home, since one aim of Freeciv
is to have compatible rules.

Freeciv is maintained by an international team of coders and enthusiasts, and is easily
one of the most fun and addictive network games out there!

This is the custom content installer program - see also freeciv-server(6) freeciv-
client(6) .

This program allows users to select and download add-on content ("modpacks") for Freeciv
from the Internet, either from a list maintained by the Freeciv team, or by using a URL
obtained by other means. It takes care of installing the files in the correct place under
the user's home directory for this version of Freeciv; it does not install anything for
system-wide use.

freeciv-mp-cli is a version of the modpack installer usable from command line. By default
it lists modpacks from the default list or from list specified with --List. One can then
run it again by giving appropriate URL from the list for --install parameter.

This manual page only lists the command line arguments. For details regarding the
operation of freeciv-mp-XXX see README.modpack_installer in the Freeciv distribution, and
the documentation at the Freeciv website ⟨https://www.freeciv.org/⟩

OPTIONS

       All options have a short form (single hyphen and single letter) and a  long  form  (double
       hyphen and a complete word); their effects are identical.

       -d level, --debug level
              Sets  the  amount of debugging information to be logged.  Acceptable values for the
              level are:

              fatal     for fatal messages only.

              error     for fatal and error messages.

              warning   for fatal, error and warning messages

              normal    for fatal, error, warning and normal messages (default).

              verbose   for fatal, error, warning, normal, and verbose messages.

       -h, --help
              Prints a short summary of the command line options.

       -i URL, --install URL
              Automatically install modpack from a given URL.

       -L URL, --List URL
              Gets modpack list from given URL, rather than the standard location on the  Freeciv
              team's servers.

       -p directory, --prefix directory
              Installs modpacks under given directory hierarchy.

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

FILES

       freeciv  modpack  installer  installs  files to the following subdirectories of the user's
       home directory (or another directory specified with --prefix), as appropriate:

       • .freeciv/scenarios/

       • .freeciv/3.1/

       The modpack installer maintains a record of installed modpack names and versions in  these
       files:

       • .freeciv/scenarios/.control/mp.db

       • .freeciv/3.1/.control/mp.db

       This  information  is  used  for  display,  and  for  deciding  whether  any new modpacks'
       dependencies are already satisfied. It is not used by the other Freeciv programs, and  can
       fairly  safely  be  removed  if  it  gets  out  of sync with the actual state of installed
       modpacks. These are sqlite files whose format is subject to change.

ENVIRONMENT

       freeciv modpack installer accepts these environment variables:

       HOME   Specifies the user's home directory.

       http_proxy
              Set this variable accordingly when using a proxy.

       LANG  or  LANGUAGE
              Sets the language and locale on some platforms.

       LC_ALL  or  LC_CTYPE
              Similar to LANG (see documentation for your system).

       USER   Specifies the username of the current user.
