NAME
quake - classic first person shooter SYNOPSIS
quake [WRAPPER-OPTIONS] [ENGINE-OPTIONS] [ENGINE-COMMANDS]... DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents briefly the quake command. Quake is a popular first-person shooter game that appeared in 1996, released by iD Software. This wrapper script will launch the Quake engine. The game data needs to be installed independently using the 'game-data-packager' program, and by default it will be looked for at /usr/share/games/quake. This wrapper script accepts the two common GNU-style options to get information on the program. Any further arguments are passed to the engine unmodified. Consult the engine documentation for full details, but most engines support a syntax whereby engine switches are pre- fixed with a minus sign, and you can give console commands by prefixing with a plus sign. See the examples section for some common cases. OPTIONS
These options are accepted for WRAPPER-OPTIONS in the synopsis. -h, --help Show summary of options. -v, --version Show version of program. EXAMPLES
These are all engine dependent. Play the Zerstoerer mod: quake -game zer Play a specific map using the Drake expansion: quake -game drake +map sludge1 Connect to a server for multiplayer: quake +connect dm.quakeone.net:27000 SEE ALSO
