Over the course of developing Maelstrom, it has accumulated quite a few
command line and compile-time options.
Multiplayer Commmand Line Options:
-- Only supported if network play is compiled in.
-player N[@host][:port]
This tells Maelstrom that it is playing a network
game, and that player N is at host "host"
-server N@host[:port]
This option tells Maelstrom to use a network
address server at host "host" for a multiplayer
game with N players.
-deathmatch [N] A multiplayer game continues until someone gets
N frags. A frag is 3 shots at a player.
Command Line Options:
-netscores This option tells Maelstrom to use the Internet
Maelstrom Score Server for the high score list.
-printscores This option prints out a list of the current high
scores. If used with the -netscores option, it will
will connect to the Internet Maelstrom Score Server
and print out the world-wide Maelstrom high scores.
-display <host:0>
This option runs Maelstrom on the given X11 display.
It is disabled if Maelstrom is compiled with
-DFORCE_XSHM
-privatecmap Runs Maelstrom with a private (custom) colormap.
This prevents Maelstrom from locking up all of
the colors on your display. It is only useful
on 256 color (pseudo-color) displays.
-nofade This option prevents Maelstrom from doing the
screen fading. This is useful if you find screen
fading annoying.
-gamma [0-8] Sets the gamma correction level for Maelstrom.
The higher the gamma correction, the brighter
Maelstrom will appear on your monitor.
If no gamma level is given, Maelstrom will print
the current gamma level saved in your custom
configuration.
Once this option is used, the gamma correction
level is saved, and this option doesn't need to
be used later unless you want to change it again.
-fullscreen This option puts a big black border around the
Maelstrom screen, and centers Maelstrom within it.
This help create a "full screen" effect on large
displays.
-version This option prints the version of the Maelstrom binary.
-speedtest This option will run Maelstrom in a graphics test
mode. It prints the number of milliseconds it
takes for your graphics display to display a full
48-frame, 360 degree rotation of your ship. It is
for comparative information only.
