SYNOPSIS

       uqm [options]

DESCRIPTION

       The  Ur-Quan  Masters is a 2D inter-galatic adventure game.  You return to Earth with a vessel built from
       technology discovered from an ancient race called the Precursors only to find it enslaved. Gather  allies
       from  a wide variety of races, engage in space combat with various foes, and save the galaxy from the Ur-
       Quan!

OPTIONS

       Valid command line options:

       -h, --help
              Display a help message.

       -r, --res resolution
              Sets the screen resolution.  Unless --opengl is  set,  the  only  valid  values  are  640x480  and
              320x240.

       -f, --fullscreen
              Uses full screen mode.  Pretty straightforward.  Usually good to combine with -r 320x240.

       -o, --opengl
              Use  OpenGL  drivers.   This produces higher-quality graphics, and may be faster as well -- but it
              also may not work on older cards.

       -c, --scale=mode
              Graphics scaling mode (linear, biadapt, biadv, triscan, hq). Default is none.  Try  these  to  get
              smoother graphics with cost on performance.

       -b, --meleezoom=mode
              Melee  scaling mode (step, aka pc, or smooth, aka 3do). Default is 3do.  Slower machine owners can
              set it to nearest to get better performance in melee but degraded visual quality.

       -s, --scanlines
              Simulates interlaced displays.

       -p, --fps
              Print fps information in the status window.

       -g, --gamma value
              Sets gamma correction. 1.0 causes no change (unless your graphics card  is  originally  set  to  a
              different value). Higher than 1.0 makes the image brighter, lower than 1.0 makes it darker.

       -C. --configdir directory
              Set the directory where the game will seek its configuration files.

       -n, --contentdir directory
              Set the directory where the game will seek its data.

       -M, --musicvol volume
              Set music volume (0-100).

       -S, --sfxvol volume
              Set sound effects volume (0-100).

       -T, --speechvol volume
              Set  speech  volume (0-100). If set to 0, game runs in 'no speech' mode and oscilloscope reacts to
              the music.

       -q, --audioquality high | medium | low
              Specifies how nice the audio sounds. Slower machines should lower the audio quality.

       -u, --nosubtitles
              Disables subtitles.

       -l, --logfile file
              Sends console output to a logfile.

       --addon addon
              Replace addon by the name of an add-on to enable in the game. May be specified multiple times.

       --sound openal | mixsdl | none
              Specifies which driver/mixer to use. Default is mixsdl.  openal is only available when it has been
              compiled  in.  It may produce higher-quality sound and will probably be faster, but it is not very
              stable on linux platforms, and may not work well with some sound cards.   Use  "none"  as  a  last
              resort if you cannot get other drivers to work, or if you have no soundcard.

       --stereosfx
              Enables positional sound effects in melee. Currently works only when using openal.

       --nethostN hostname
              Server to connect to for player N (1=bottom, 2=top)

       --netportN port
              port to connect to/listen on for player N (1=bottom, 2=top) The default port is 21837.

       --netdelay frames
              Number of frames to buffer/delay network input for.

       -m, --music 3do | pc
              Controls  use  of  the  3DO  remixed  soundtrack  for songs that were in fact remixed.  3DO is the
              default.

       -i, --intro 3do | pc
              Controls the intro/ending version. 3DO is the default.

       --cscan pc | 3do
              Use either PC (text) or 3DO (pictograms) style planet information when scanning.  The  default  is
              PC.

       --menu pc | 3do
              Use either PC style (text and 'CREW'/'BATT') or 3DO (pictograms) in melee.  The default is PC.

       --font pc | 3do
              Use either PC or 3DO style fonts and colors. The default is PC.

       --shield pc | 3do
              Use either PC style (static) or 3DO style (throbbing) slave shield. The default is PC.

       --scroll pc | 3do
              Scroll  voice-over/subtitles  1  page  at  a  time  (PC  style) or smoothly (3DO style) when using
              left/right arrow keys. The default is PC.
