ETERNALLANDS(6)

NAME
eternallands - Wrapper script for the Eternal Lands MMORPG client

SYNOPSIS
eternallands [ <pass through options> ]

DESCRIPTION
Eternal Lands is a FREE MMORPG (massively multi-player online role playing game). This script provides a wrapper for the client. It checks that the users ~/.elc/ directory exists and that the files ~/.elc/server.lst and ~/.elc/main/el.ini exist. If these files do not exist then they will be copied from the version shipped with the eternallands-data package. The data_dir entry for all ~/.elc/*/el.ini files is tested. If any do not refer to the installed eternallands-data package, the user is offered the option to fix the path. The Eternal Lands client is then run, passed any command line options specified for this script. Finally, if the client exits with an error status, a window is opened to inform the user, offering advice on resolving the problem and showing a copy of the ~/.elc/error_log.txt file. All user interaction is done using the zenity program.

FILES
~/.elc/showconfigsel
    If exists and contains the word no, use of the configuration selection window is disabled.
~/.elc/no.el.ini.check
    If exists, disable the check for correct data_dir paths in el.ini files.
~/.elc/el_client
    If exists, the file should contain the full path to an alternative client executable.
