Command Line Guide

Below is the output of client --help, and server --help.

TURF Client: Version 0.1.6.
(C) 2012 Liam Twigger 
Client Init Clock: 0
Usage: client 

Command Line Switches: (all case sensitive)
--fs                     Enables fullscreen.
--width WIDTH            Sets the width of the window to WIDTH.
--height HEIGHT          Sets the width of the window to HEIGHT.
--physics STATE          STATE is either ON, OFF or AUTO (case sensitive). This sets whether physics is simulated. If your playing this
                         game over LAN or singleplayer ( = localhost), this is recommended to be off to prevent redundant
                         calculations wasting CPU. The default is OFF.
--gameDir DIR            Sets the directory where files are loaded from
--debugDraw STATE        STATE is either ON or OFF. Physics must be on for this to have effect. This draws the physics meshes.
--help                   Displays this message.
--fm                     Free Memory: Tells the program to deallocate memory on exit (as opposed to just closing and letting the OS
                         do it). The reason why the game does not deallocate memory on shutdown be default is to prevent the game from
                         loading things from swap to deallocate them, which leads to a long shutdown.
--profiler               Spits out how long it takes to generate a chunk's VBO, lighting recalculations and chunk physics mesh regeneration.
--sleep MSEC             Sets how many milliseconds the game will sleep for between frames. This is a smart sleep, so that if the game
                         takes DeltaT milliseconds to render a frame, the game will sleep for (MSEC - DeltaT) milliseconds for smooth
                         operation. This command is useful for preventing the game from hogging all the CPU.
--renderItems ID         Starts the program, spits out ui BMPs for item ID, then closes. Use ALL to render all items
--sunlightMode STATE     STATE is either NORMAL, MIDDAY, MIDNIGHT, DAWN or DUSK. Renders daylight as if its stuck at this time.
--v                      Verbose output - for debuging.
--echoBlockPlacement     Whenever a block is set, a message will appear in the in-game console.
--echoItemIds            An items id will be displayed when seleceted as well as its name.
--strictLua STATE        STATE is either ON or OFF. If ON, abort if there is an error loading Lua scripts. Useful for debugging Lua scripts.
                         Default state is ON.
--login USER PASS        Logs in on start up with specified username and password
--demo                   Run in demo mode
--timeout TIMEOUT        Sets the connection timeout in ms (Default 6000)


TURF Server: Version 0.1.6.
(C) 2012 Liam Twigger 
Game directory: /home/twigger/.turf/
 --help
Usage: server

Command Line Switches: (all case sensitive)
--help                   Displays this message.
--port PORT              Uses PORT as the port
--game ID                Sets the game id (default: 0)
--g ID                   Alias of --game
--gameDir DIR            Sets the directory where files are loaded from
--v                      Verbose output - for debuging.
--strictLua STATE        STATE is either ON or OFF. If ON, abort if there is an error loading Lua scripts. Useful for debugging Lua scripts.
                         Default state is ON.
--profiler               Profiling information.
--outputToFile           Redirects program output (stdout) to file serverlog.txt
--latchToClient LATCH    Do not use this. This is an argument when running the server from within the client, to the server this.
--serverName NAME        Name of the server, eg "Robbo's Turf Server"
--saveGame FILENAME      Name of the save game. Will be stored in savegames folder
--publicGame STATE       If set to ON, this server will be listed publicly online. Default is OFF.
--maxPlayers NUMBER      Maximum number of players.
--gameMode MODE          The game mode, eg Build, Trash, Turf.
--gameModeVars { ARGS }  Various settings for the game. Format is { gm1, value ; gm2, value1, value2 ; etc }. There must be spaces around the
                         starting and finishing braces.
--timeout TIMEOUT        Sets the connection timeout in ms (Default 6000)
--genmap XSIZE YSIZE     If starting a new game, generates a new XSIZE*ZSIZE map. XSIZE and ZSIZE will be rounded to multiple of 128.
--loadmap FILENAME       If starting a new game, loads the map from a file in the maps/ directory
--flatmap                If generating a new map, make it flat
--newGame STATE          STATE is either ON or OFF. Set to ON to enable
--randomSeed SEED        If generating a new map, use this seed. SEED can either be a number, or a string
--simulationPeriod T     T is the time delay between simulation frames in ms. Simulation frequency = 1000/T Hz.
                         Default: 60ms
--trustClient STATE      Trust clients' positions. STATE is ON by default, can be set to OFF for strict server authority
