.TH pentagram 1 "29 Oct 2011" "20110229_svn" "Pentagram"
|
|
|
|
.SH NAME
|
|
\fBpentagram\fR \- A reimplemented engine for the game
|
|
.B Ultima VIII: Pagan
|
|
|
|
.SH SYNOPSIS
|
|
.B pentagram
|
|
.RI [ options ]
|
|
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
.B pentagram
|
|
is an engine for playing the game
|
|
.B Ultima 8
|
|
on modern operating systems.
|
|
The files from the original game are required for
|
|
.B pentagram
|
|
to work. Since
|
|
.B Ultima 8
|
|
is a commercial work, this means you must own a
|
|
copy of the original game to legally play it with
|
|
\fBpentagram\fR.
|
|

|
|

Config and savegame data.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B ~/.pentagram/pentagram.ini
|
|
Configuration. Specifies the path to the game data, among other things.
|
|
The SlackBuilds.org build of pentagram uses a shell script wrapper to
|
|
create a default \fBpentagram.ini\fR if the user doesn't have one already.
|
|
See \fI/usr/doc/pentagram\-@VERSION@/README\fR for full details of the options
|
|
available in the config file.

.TP
|
|
.B /usr/share/pentagram
|
|
This is the default location where
|
|
.B pentagram
|
|
looks for the Ultima 8 data files. This directory should contain
|
|
a complete installation of the game, including the file
|
|
.B U8.exe
|
|
(case\-insensitive;
|
|
.B u8.exe
|
|
or
|
|
.B U8.EXE
|
|
are also OK). This location can be changed by editing
|
|
.B ~/.pentagram/pentagram.ini
