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.
