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
-
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.
- Reads game variables from the given file or directory.
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.
