DESCRIPTION

       Red Eclipse is a single-player and multi-player first-person ego-shooter, built as a total conversion of
       Cube Engine 2, which lends itself toward a balanced gameplay, with a general theme of agility in a
       variety of environments.

       redeclipse is a script which executes the redeclipse binary from the /usr/lib/games/redeclipse directory.

       The recommended way to change the settings of the client are to edit the config.cfg and init.cfg files in
       the home directory.

       The redeclipse client starts a local loopback server upon launch which it uses to connect to for
       singleplayer, hence many of the server options are accepted by the redeclipse binary as well (see
       redeclipse-server(6)).  To edit the specific settings related to the loopback server, use the
       localexec.cfg and localinit.cfg files in the home directory.

CAVEATS

       Many of these options will, if used, be permanently saved in the init.cfg file.

OPTIONS

   Filesystem options
       -hhomedir
              Sets  your  home  directory  to  homedir.   Red  Eclipse  will look for files in this directory in
              addition the normal installation directory. All user files will be written to the home  directory.
              Defaults to $HOME/.redeclipse/.

       -ppackagedir
              Includes  the  data  files  found in packagedir.  Can be used for adding additional mods. Packages
              will be loaded in the order specified. By default redeclipse  only  includes  data  files  in  its
              working  directory  /usr/share/games/redeclipse/,  and  in  the  temp  subdirectory  of  the  home
              directory.

       -osauerdir
              Sets the path to your Sauerbraten directory. If Red Eclipse can find your  Sauerbraten  directory,
              you can load and play Sauerbraten maps from withing Red Eclipse.

       -glogfile
              Output  log to logfile.  Path is set relative to homedir unless a leading ´/' is used, uses stdout
              if -g is given without a parameter. Defaults to log.txt.

              Turns fullscreen mode on or off. 0 to disable, 1 to enable. Defaults to 1.

              This configuration is stored in init.cfg

       -dwwidth
              Sets screen width to width.  If height not specified, also sets height to 3/4  of  width.  min  is
              320.

              This configuration is stored in init.cfg

       -dhheight
              Sets  screen  height  to height.  If width not specified, also sets width to 4/3 of height. min is
              320.

              This configuration is stored in init.cfg

   General options

HISTORY

       Red  Eclipse was forked as a continuation of the game Bloodfrontier, which in turn was based on the Cube2
       engine and the Sauerbraten game. Red Eclipse and Sauerbraten are now developed in parallel.
