✨ NAME ✨

lordsawar-game-host-client — administer or query a game host server 🎮

okay so real quick, this is a section 6 page from the Games part of the manual, and it's literally just about being the bossy one in the group chat who tells a game host server what to do 💅

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

lordsawar-game-host-client [OPTION...] HOST

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

It's a command-line tool — no GUI, no vibes-based clicking — for managing a LordsAWar! game host server that's chillin' at HOST. Three whole moods available: start hosting new games, stop hosting games, or just ask it for a list of the games it's hosting. That's the job. Iconic, lowkey ✨

🫶 the options, bestie

  • -p, --profile ID — use this identity when you're making requests to the remote server. The ID looks like a guid, so like, a long lil string of hex and dashes, iykyk.
  • -h, --host FILE — ask the server to host a new game. This command uploads FILE to the remote server and begins a new game with it. FILE is a .map scenario file 🗺️
  • -u, --unhost ID — ask the server to stop hosting a game. The ID looks like a guid.
  • -p, --port NUMBER — connect to the remote server on the given port.
  • -t, --terminate — ask the server to stop. The games continue to be hosted, but our ability to control them (or host new games) goes away until the server starts back up. so like, you lose the aux cord, but the music keeps playing 😭
  • -r, --reload — ask the server to reload it's list of hosted games from disk.
  • -l, --list — ask the server to show a list of games it is hosting.
  • -?, --help — give this help list.
not me noticing -p is on this list twice — once for --profile and once for --port. I'm just the messenger, bestie, that's what the page says fr fr 💀

💜 the defaults (the "if you don't say anything" rules)

When --profile is not specified, the first profile in profiles.xml is used by default. When a --port is not specified, port 22998 is assumed. When HOST is not specified on the command-line, 127.0.0.1 is assumed.

so basically: pick nothing and you get your first profile, port 22998, and localhost. the server is your roommate and it lives in your own house 🏠

🦋 FILES 🦋

  • ~/.lordsawarrc — the configuration file.
  • ~/.lordsawar/profiles.xml — the data file representing the list of profiles.
