Flexible Isometric Fallout-like Engine 2008.1 (Default branch)
Image Flexible Isometric Fallout-like Engine (FIFE) is a cross-platform 2D game creation framework. Games can be created with a combination of engine, editor tools, game specific scripts, and game content (e.g. maps, graphics, and sounds). The framework is not tied to any type of game (e.g. RTS, RPG), but instead provides a flexible platform for all of them. It supports different isometric views and a pure top-down view. Instead of full 3D flexibility, the engine focuses mainly on using high quality 2D graphics. This puts fewer demands on target platforms and also simplifies the framework and game development. License: GNU Lesser General Public License (LGPL) Changes:
The license has been switched from the GPL 2.0 to the LGPL 2.1 or newer. Map format and resource loading (datasets branch) have been improved. There is a vastly improved editor tool and batch object loading. There is a new (work in progress) Rio de hola demo: new maps, graphics, and sounds. Eye candy: stepless zoom (OpenGL mode only) and instance coloring and outlining.Image

DARKPLACES(6)							   Games Manual 						     DARKPLACES(6)

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.
