NAME

       darkplaces - an engine for iD software's Quake and related games

SYNOPSIS

       darkplaces [ -options ] [ +set cvar value ] [ +console commands ]

DESCRIPTION

       DarkPlaces is an OpenGL-only engine for Quake and related games, with greatly enhanced effects and lighting and many features for mods.

OPTIONS

       This program follows the Quake convention, with long options starting with a single dash (`-').	Options include:

       -basedir
	      Specify the location of the game data files. The default is the current directory, which is not usually useful.

       -dedicated
	      Run as a dedicated server, without the GUI. Alternatively, you can run darkplaces-server if installed.

       -game  Start the game using the files from a mission pack or a mod.

       -hipnotic
	      Start the game with the Hipnotic mission pack.

       -rogue Start the game with the Rogue mission pack.

       -nexuiz
	      Expect the basedir to contain the standalone game Nexuiz, instead of Quake.

       Various other mods and standalone games are supported, see /usr/share/doc/darkplaces/README.Debian.
