NAME

       pioneers-server-gtk - graphical game server for Pioneers

SYNOPSIS

       pioneers-server-gtk [options]

DESCRIPTION

       This manual page documents briefly the pioneers-server-gtk command.

       Pioneers  is  an  implementation of the popular, award-winning "Settlers of Catan" board game for the GNOME desktop environment.  It uses a
       client/server model for networked play of between two and eight players.  This program provides a GUI-configurable stand-alone server which
       you connect to from pioneers itself.

OPTIONS

       Pioneers accepts the standard GTK+ commandline options.

ENVIRONMENT

       The default settings of the server can be influenced with the following three environment variables:

       PIONEERS_META_SERVER
	      The hostname of the meta-server when no meta-server is specified in the user interface. (The settings file takes precedence)

       PIONEERS_SERVER_NAME
	      The hostname of the server.  If it is not set, the hostname is determined by hostname(1).  (The settings file takes precedence)

       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 and $XDG_DATA_HOME/pioneers/*.game
	      Game definitions
       /usr/share/pixmaps/pioneers-server.png
	      Game icon
       $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/pioneers-server
	      Saved settings
       /usr/share/games/pioneers/computer_names
	      A list of names the computer player can use

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 pio-
       neers probably do not need to run this program.

OPTIONS

       -?, --help
	      Print a short help text and exit.

       -d, --daemon
	      Run in daemon mode.

       -P, --pidfile pidfile
	      Write the pid to pidfile (implies -d)

       -r, --redirect location
	      Redirect to another meta-server running at location.

       -s, --servername hostname
	      Use hostname as hostname when creating servers.

       -p, --port-range from-to
	      Use  ports  in  the  range  from-to  (inclusive)	to start servers.  It is advised not to include port 5557 in the range.  (See BUGS
	      below.)  When this range is not specified, the meta-server will not be able to create new games.

       --debug
	      Enable debug messages.

       --syslog-debug
	      Duplicate the messages of the syslog to the console.

       --version
	      Show version information.

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

SIGNALS

       USR1
	      Shutdown the meta-server gracefully (can be used to check for memory leaks)

BUGS

       Do not include port 5557 in the --port-range argument because the meta-server uses this port.
