✨ OPENLIEROX ✨

okay bestie, gather round, because we're about to talk about openlierox from section 6 (GAMES) of the manual, and honestly? it's giving iconic. it's a real-time, excessive clone of Worms with network support. yes, excessive. they said it, not me. 💅

🦋 NAME 🦋

openlierox — a real-time, excessive clone of Worms with network support.

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so like, OpenLieroX is based on Jason Boettcher's famous Liero Xtreme. Jason B. released his work in 2006 under the zlib-licence, and after some months of work, we ported and enhanced his work and got OpenLieroX. that's the origin story. no cap. 👑

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

openlierox [options]

---

💖 OPTIONS 💖

okay so here's the vibe: OpenLieroX reads all the configuration options from a configuration file at startup, but you can override a few of the options from the command line. a few. not all of them. just the ones below, bestie. 🫶

• -help — shows the commandline help. that's it, that's the whole thing.
• -opengl — uses OpenGL for drawing. shiny mode activated ✨
• -noopengl — explicitly disables using OpenGL. like, no ambiguity, we are NOT doing OpenGL.
• -fullscreen — runs the game in fullscreen mode. main character energy, take up the whole screen 👑
• -window — runs the game in windowed mode. for when you're being sneaky at 3am 🙈
• -nosound — disables sound output. silent mode, stealth mode, library mode 🔇
• -nojoystick — disables joystick detection. it will not go looking for your controller. periodt.
• -dedicated — enables dedicated mode: no graphics or sound initialized, OpenLieroX runs as a standalone console process. the file scripts/dedicated_control is executed by OpenLieroX — this file is a CGI-like script which operates the OpenLieroX server. it lives in the default directory /usr/share/games/OpenLieroX, but it may be overridden by the user as ~/.OpenLieroX/scripts/dedicated_control. yes, that's a lot of path, i know, write it down. 🎀
• -exec COMMAND — executes a command inside the game console after starting openlierox. and listen: several -exec statements may be specified. stack them. go feral. 🔥
• -connect SERVER-ADDRESS — starts a game client and immediately connects to the specified server. no menu, no waiting, straight in. slay.

also, the configuration file name is ~/.OpenLieroX/cfg/options.cfg. that's where all the config lives. remember it. 💜
