pioneers-server-gtk - graphical game server for Pioneers

pioneers-server-gtk [options]

This manual page documents briefly the pioneers-server-gtk command.

Pioneers is an implementation of the popular, award-winning "Settlers of Catan" board game for the GNOME desktop environment. It uses a client/server model for networked play of between two and eight players. This program provides a GUI-configurable stand-alone server which you connect to from pioneers itself.

Pioneers accepts the standard GTK+ commandline options.

The default settings of the server can be influenced with the following three environment variables:

The hostname of the metaserver when no metaserver is specified in the user interface. (The settings file takes precedence)
The hostname of the server. If it is not set, the hostname is determined by hostname(1). (The settings file takes precedence)
The path to the game definition files. If it is not set, the default installation path will be used.
