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.

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
