Usage

Overview

This page briefly documents the freevial command. Freevial is trivia-like game for community events (idealy to be played with a projector).

Usage

You may need to specify the path to the questions database you want to use with the --database argument. The database can be either folder or a compressed file.

Additionally, you can choose a different look using the --skin option to tell it where the appearance information it should use is located.

Options

-d, --debug

Run Freevial in debug mode (this doesn't change much at all).

-m, --mute

Disable music and sounds.

-f, --fullscreen

Start in fullscreen mode (it can be windowed ingame with F11).

-l, --locked

Start in locked mode (game can't be closed nor questions aborted; unlock by pressing the l-key in the team selection screen).

-h, --help

Prints the help and exists.

-v, --version

Prints information about the current version and release series, and exists.

--info-db, --info-database

Prints information about the loaded database and exists. This can be combined with the --database option.

--no-sound

Disables all sounds. You can use --mute to also disable the music.

--no-music

Disables the music. You can use --mute to also disable sounds.

--fps

Displays the framerate on screen.

--psyco
