  • Graphics: 16 or 32 bit capable video card
  • Resolution: min 1024x768 virtual screen size
  • Memory: 10 to 60 MB (depending on universe)

    X GUI Options

    Below is the help output for XShipWars when `xsw --help' is typed at the prompt.

    Usage: xsw [url] [options] [GUI_options]

    [url] is the URL to the universe that you want to connect to.

    [options] can be any of the following:

    --rcfile Load configuration from .
    -f Same as --rcfile.
    --control Specify which controller to use:
    keyboard
    joystick
    -c Same as --control.
    --help Prints (this) help screen and exits.
    --version Prints version information and exits.

    Most customizations can be performed in the options menu.

    Command line options override any options in the configuration file.

    [GUI_options] can be any options standard to your GUI, consult your GUI's manual for available options.

    What's New in This Release:
  • Added the asteroid_field_damage_int to the universe legend, this
  • specifies an interval in milliseconds on which damage is to be done when flying above the velocity_max of an asteroid field. This also means that existing asteroid_field_damage_rate values may need to be increased.
  • Added the ignoring of hails and messages from certain objects, the default key mapped to this function is R but you should update your keyboard mapping by going to Options->General->Map Keyboard
  • Added garbled com messages on SWServ when players send or receive messages in nebulas or asteroid fields.
