🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Menu viewer for Speed Dreams 2. short, sweet, to the point — she said what she said and then she dipped. periodt. 💅

🌸 OPTIONS 🌸

okay this is the part where we go through every single one, no skips, no "you get the idea." you will get the idea, because i'm gonna tell you. 🔥

  • -h, --help — shows you a short manual about the options. it's the "wait what does this do again" button, and we all need her sometimes. 🫶
  • -v, --version — shows the actual game version. cute for when you're like "which build am i even on rn" 😭
  • -l, --localdir local dir — sets the run-time user settings folder. default = ~/.speed-dreams-2, unless you're not using the default CMake configuration for building. (iykyk 🧚)
  • -L, --libdir lib dir — sets the run-time library folder. default = /usr/local/lib[64]/games/speed-dreams-2, unless not using the default CMake configuration for building. no cap, that [64] is doing heavy lifting. 💀
  • -D, --datadir data dir — sets the run-time data folder. default = /usr/local/share/games/speed-dreams-2, unless not using the default CMake configuration for building. 🍓
  • -B, --bindir bin dir — sets the run-time binary data folder. default = /usr/local/games, unless not using the default CMake configuration for building. 👑
  • -m, --hardmouse — use hardware mouse cursor. like, the real actual cursor. main character energy for your pointer. ⭐
  • -e, --tracelevel trace level threshold — sets the trace level threshold to the given integer value: 0=Fatal, 1=Error, 2=Warning, 3=Info, 4=Trace, 5=Debug, ... ; default = Debug, unless not using the default CMake configuration for building. only traces with a lower or equal level will appear in the trace stream. ⚠️ Note: may be disabled if the CMake option OPTION_DEBUG is not true at build time.
  • -t, --tracestream target trace stream — sets the target stream for the traces, among 'stdout', 'stderr' or <file name> ; default = stderr, unless not using the default CMake configuration for building)) ⚠️ Note: may be disabled if the CMake option OPTION_DEBUG is not true at build time. (yes, the original really does have that extra closing paren. we respect her. 🙈)
  • menu-file — absolute path of the menu XML descriptor file. this one's required, bestie, it's the whole reason we're here. 🦋
okay the recurring "unless not using the default CMake configuration for building" is basically the manpage equivalent of "terms and conditions apply." it shows up so many times and honestly? iconic behavior. just know it's not a copy-paste accident on my end — it's fr fr in the source. 💜

💖 EXAMPLES 💖

one example, and she ate:

sd2-menuview /home/sd/trunk/data/data/menu/racemanmenu.xml

literally just point her at a menu XML file and go. slay. ✨
