An engine for id software's quake and related games
darkplaces-server [ -options ] [ +set cvar value ] [ +console commands ]
DarkPlaces is an engine for Quake and related games, with greatly enhanced effects and lighting and many features for mods. darkplaces-server is the dedicated-server version of DarkPlaces, with fewer dependencies.
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.
-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-server/README.Debian.
DarkPlaces was based on Quake by id Software, and is maintained by LordHavoc and numerous contributors.
