4.1 Basic options

Type: string

Will allow you to get informations about a given keyword. Let's say that, for instance, you want informations about the keyword 'map-path'. Simply run 'liquidwar6 –about=map-path'. Note that this internal self-documentation system can describe command line switches as well as XML config file parameters or environment variables, and even some Guile script functions. The '–list' command line switch will give you the list of all available keywords.

4.1.2 copyright

— Command-line option: --copyright

Returns the copyright notice for the program.

Enables debug mode. This will turn on maximum log information, and display everything on stderr, even messages which are normally only stored in the log file.

4.1.4 defaults

— Command-line option: --defaults

Clears the config file and run the game with default settings. Use this if you suspect you have broken something by tweaking user settings, or when upgrading the game to a new version.

— Command-line option: --help

Returns a short help for the program.

4.1.6 list

— Command-line option: --list
