DESCRIPTION

23       Red Eclipse is a single-player and multi-player first-person ego-
24       shooter, built as a total conversion of Cube Engine 2, which lends
25       itself toward a balanced gameplay, with a general theme of agility in a
26       variety of environments.
27
28       redeclipse is a script which executes the redeclipse binary from the
29       /usr/libexec/redeclipse directory.
30
31       The recommended way to change the settings of the client are to edit
32       the config.cfg and init.cfg files in the home directory.
33
34       The redeclipse client starts a local loopback server upon launch which
35       it uses to connect to for singleplayer, hence many of the server
36       options are accepted by the redeclipse binary as well (see redeclipse-
37       server(6)).  To edit the specific settings related to the loopback
38       server, use the localexec.cfg and localinit.cfg files in the home
39       directory.

CAVEATS

44       Many of these options will, if used, be permanently saved in the
45       init.cfg file.

OPTIONS

50   Filesystem options
51       -hhomedir
52              Sets your home directory to homedir.  Red Eclipse will look for
53              files in this directory in addition the normal installation
54              directory. All user files will be written to the home directory.
55              Defaults to $HOME/.redeclipse/.
56
57
58       -ppackagedir
59              Includes the data files found in packagedir.  Can be used for
60              adding additional mods. Packages will be loaded in the order
61              specified. By default redeclipse only includes data files in its
62              working directory /usr/share/redeclipse/, and in the temp
63              subdirectory of the home directory.
64

HISTORY

171       Red Eclipse was forked as a continuation of the game Bloodfrontier,
172       which in turn was based on the Cube2 engine and the Sauerbraten game.
173       Red Eclipse and Sauerbraten are now developed in parallel.
