💖 lordsawar-game-host-server 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the section 6 (Games) glow-up of lordsawar-game-host-server — yes that's the manual name, yes it's a mouthful, no we're not shortening it, it's iconic 💅

✨ NAME ✨

lordsawar-game-host-server — serve up networked lordsawar games, fr fr.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

lordsawar-game-host-server [OPTION...]

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

So like, the whole vibe here? This lil server lets remote and local users start their networked lordsawar games on your computer. You're basically hosting the party 🎉. And the way you boss it around is with the command-line tool lordsawar-game-host-client — that's the bestie that sends commands to this server. Dynamic duo, no cap 🫶

Here's the tea on every single option, don't skip a single one:

  • -f, --foreground — do not detach from the controlling terminal. Stay right there, main character energy, watching everything 👀
  • -h, --host HOST — tell it the hostname that other people can reach this machine on. Like, your address for the group chat 🌸
  • -p, --port NUMBER — start the server on the given port.
  • -m, --members FILE — allow the profile ids in this file to host games. The format of FILE is one id per line, and any lines starting with # get ignored (yes queen, comments, we love a self-documenting file ✨).
  • -?, --help — give this help list. A little menu, a little snack 🍓
Heads up bestie: when a --port is not specified, the server starts on port 22998. Remember that number, it's giving default.

Also, the server will search for the lordsawar binary in your path and execute it to begin hosting new games. So it's out here finding the executable itself, very independent, very capable 👑

✨ FILES ✨

  • ~/.lordsawarrc — the configuration file. 💜
  • ~/.lordsawar/recently-hosted.xml — the data file representing the list of games that the server is hosting. This is the receipts file, basically 🧾

✨ REPORTING BUGS ✨

Found a bug? 😭 Don't suffer in silence — report bugs to <https://savannah.nongnu.org/bugs/?group=lordsawar>. They wanna know, fr fr.
