 ===== JXClient =====
-The jxclient is a Java based client for crossfire. This is the only client for Windows that supports connections to [[server:|crossfire servers]] of version 1.71 and newer.
+The jxclient is a Java based client for Crossfire.
+See [[jxclient:compiling|Compiling]] for information on how to compile the client on Linux
-  An occasional bug with this client is that the screen may load completely black, a current work around is to create a shortcut to jxclient.jar and add the following to the "target:"
-  "C:\**Change to where Crossfire Is Located**\jxclient new.jar" --no-full-screen
-  * The latest stable binary (.jar) is {{http://crossfire.real-time.com/clients/jxclient.html|here}}.
+Also, [[jxclient-windows|Download and Launching JXClient on Windows 10]] for Windows users.
-  * The latest development binary (.jnlp) is {{http://invidious.meflin.net/crossfire/jxclient.jnlp|here}} or (.jar) is {{http://invidious.meflin.net/crossfire/jxclient.jar|here}}.
+For Mac OS users, see [[jxclient-macosx|Download and Launching JXClient]].
+Under Linux, visit [[jxclient-linux|Download and Launching JXClient]].
 If you are having trouble running the .Jar, install the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) from the [[https://www.java.com|java website]] .
+==== Client Commands ====
+=== Key Bindings ===
+List custom or recently added key bindings:
+  /bindings
+==== Client Options ====
+The client options are used with launching the client (i.e., java -jar jxclient.jar -<options>)
+To access the client options, launch the client and use the //--help// option
+  java -jar jxclient.jar --help
+==== Help File Output ====
+Available options:
+==== No Full Screen ====
+Disable full-screen mode.
+''--no-full-screen''\\
+''-n ''  \\
+  java -jar jxclient.jar -n
+or
+  java -jar jxclient.jar --no-full-screen
+==== Client Resolution ====
+Resolution to use. [default is maximum not exceeding screen]
+''--resolution <width>x<height>''\\
+''-r <width>x<height>''\\
+  java -jar jxclient.jar --resolution 1280x720
+or
+  java -jar jxclient.jar -r 1600x900
+==== Skin ====
+Skin name to use. Available skins: default, ragnorok.
+''--skin <skin>''\\
+''-s <skin>''\\
+  java -jar jxclient.jar --skin ragnorok
+or
+  java -jar jxclient.jar -s default
+==== Tile Size (aka zoom) ====
+The size of map view tiles in pixels. It supports only 4, 32 or 64. 32 is the default Crossfire tile size, 4 is what the client needs for the minimap window, 64 is what the client uses by default for the map window.
+''--tile-size <n>''\\
+  java -jar jxclient.jar --tile-size 32
+JXClient has some hard-coded 32 x 32 pixel settings. Therefore other tile sizes will probably not work (.e., 24 x 24px.)
+The same applies for tile sets: JXClient simply only supports the default tile set.
+==== Avoid Copy Area ====
+Do not copy pixel areas when scrolling the map view. Instead always repaint all map squares.
+''--avoid-copy-area''\\
+  java -jar jxclient.jar --avoid-copy-area
+==== Enable OpenGL ====
+Enable the OpenGL rendering pipeline.
+''--opengl''\\
+  java -jar jxclient.jar --opengl
+==== Specify Server ====
+Select a server to connect to; skips main and metaserver windows.
+''--server <host>''
+  java -jar jxclient.jar --server 127.0.0.1
+or
+  java -jar jxclient.jar --server invidious2.meflin.net
+==== Enable Debugging of GUI Elements ====
+Enable debugging of GUI elements. Also shows width and height of the active GUI element.
+''--debug-gui''\\
+  java -jar jxclient.jar --debug-gui
+==== Enable Debugging of Keybord Input ====
+Log keyboard input.
+''--debug-keyboard <log-file>''\\
+  java -jar jxclient.jar --debug-keyboard
+==== Debug Protocal with Server ====
+Log messages exchanged with the server.
+''--debug-protocol <log-file>''\\
+  java -jar jxclient.jar --debug-protocol log.txt
+==== Debug Screen Resolution ====
+Log messages related to screen resolution.
+''--debug-screen <log-file>''\\
+  java -jar jxclient.jar --debug-screen log.txt
+==== Debug Sounds ====
+Log messages related to sound.
+''--debug-sound <log-file>''\\
+  java -jar jxclient.jar --debug-sound sound-log.txt
+==== Addition Note ====
+It is possible to combine multiple options in a single launch, like so:
+  java -jar jxclient.jar --server invidious2.meflin.net -r 1600x900 --tile-size 32
+The above command would automatically connect to invidious2.meflin.net with a client window resolution of 1600px by 900px and a tile size of 32.
