DESCRIPTION
lierolibre is an old-school earthworm action game. It is a direct fork
of Liero.
Features:
* 2 worms, 40 weapons, great playability, two game modes:
Kill'em All and Game of Tag, plus AI-players without true
intelligence!
* Extensions via a hidden F1 menu:
* Replays, game controller support, powerlevel palettes
* Fullscreen, x2, x3 and x4 scaling via the F5, F6, F7 and F8
keys
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.
EXAMPLES
lierolibre mymod/LIERO.EXE
Reads game variables from a (potentially) modded EXE file, and
reads game data from files in mymod/.
lierolibre -f mymod/LIERO.EXE -d /usr/share/games/lierolibre -w
mymod_liero.cfg
Reads game variables from a (potentially) modded EXE file and
writes them to a plain text config file (and starts the game).
lierolibre mymod_liero.cfg mydata
Reads game variables from a custom plain text config file, and
reads the game data from another directory.
