<P>
|
|
If you are in the directory in which FreeCol is installed, you can
|
|
start the game with the command <code>java -Xmx128M -jar FreeCol.jar</code>.
|
|
This will tell the Virtual Machine to load the game and to set the
|
|
maximum heap size to 128 MB. Refer to the manual of your Java Virtual
|
|
Machine for details.
|
|
|
|
<P>
|
|
There are many other Java options, but you probably won't need to
|
|
change the default settings. FreeCol is developed in English, but it
|
|
includes translations into several other languages, some of which are
|
|
not very complete, however. Java will automatically select the
|
|
translation for your locale, if available, and English otherwise. If
|
|
you should wish to select a different language, or if language
|
|
selection fails, you can choose a different language from the
|
|
preferences menu.
|
|
|
|
<P>
|
|
FreeCol also provides several application-specific command line
|
|
options:
|
|
|
|
<P>
|
|
|
|
<UL>
|
|
<LI><code>--freecol-data DIR</code> Specify the directory that contains
|
|
FreeCol's data files. In general, you will only need to use this if
|
|
you have installed a modified copy of FreeCol's data files.
|
|
</LI>
|
|
<LI><code>--windowed[[=]WIDTHxHEIGHT]</code> Run FreeCol in windowed mode
|
|
instead of full screen mode and set the window width and height. You
|
|
will need this if your window manager or Java Virtual Machine do not
|
|
(correctly support) FreeCol's full screen mode. If you use Linux and
|
|
Java 5, for example, you should set the window width to the width of
|
|
your screen, but probably set the window height slightly lower than
|
|
the height of your screen, in order to leave space for the menu bar,
|
|
dock etc.
|
|
</LI>
|
|
<LI><code>--load-savegame SAVEGAME_FILE</code> Load the given
|
|
savegame. This is particularly useful in combination with the client
|
|
option show savegame settings.
|
|
</LI>
|
|
<LI><code>--no-sound</code> Run FreeCol without sound. Note that the game
|
|
does not yet contain any music, so the only sounds you will hear will
|
|
be special effects.
|
|
</LI>
|
|
<LI><code>--usage</code> Display the help screen.
|
|
</LI>
|
|
<LI><code>--version</code> Display the version number.
|
|
</LI>
|
|
<LI><code>--server PORT</code> Start a stand-alone server on the specified
|
|
port. If you don't know what that means, you will not need the option.
|
|
</LI>
|
|
<LI><code>--server-help</code> Display a help screen for the more advanced
|
|
server options.
|
|
</LI>
|
|
</UL>
|
|
|
|
<P>
|
|
There are several other options that you will probably only be
|
|
interested in if you are a developer:
|
|
|
|
<P>
|
|
|
|
<UL>
|
|
<LI><code>--no-java-check</code> Skip the java version check.
|
|
</LI>
|
|
<LI><code>--no-memory-check</code> Skip the memory check.
|
|
</LI>
|
|
<LI><code>--log-level LEVEL</code> Set the java log level.
|
|
</LI>
|
|
<LI><code>--debug</code> Start the game in debugging mode.
|
|
</LI>
|
|
</UL>
|
|
|
|
<P>
