lierolibre is a script which executes the lierolibre binary from the /usr/lib/games/lierolibre directory. The script defaults to using the directory /usr/share/games/lierolibre as the inputfile parameter.
If inputfile points to a directory (which is the default case), lierolibre copies the file liero.cfg from this directory to $HOME/.lierolibre/ unless it already exists in this location. liero.cfg is a plain text file which can be modified, go wild! But don't be surprised if the game crahes ;)
Options
- [
-f|--file] inputfile -
Reads game variables from the given file or directory.
-
If inputfile points to a directory or a file with an unknown extension, and inputdir is not set,
OR
if inputfile points to a directory and inputdir is set,
the game will try to load the liero.cfg file from $HOME/.lierolibre/ first, otherwise it loads it from the directory of inputfile.
- [
-d|--dir] inputdir -
Reads the files LIERO.CHR LIERO.SND NAMES.DAT from the given directory. If not set, the game uses the directory of inputfile instead.
- [
-w|--write] outputfile -
Writes all game variables to a plain text file.
-v|--sdlvideo videodriver-
Sets the SDL_VIDEODRIVER environment variable.
-h|--help-
Print a brief help overview.
