🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so AssaultCube — formerly known as ActionCube — is a first-person-shooter based on the game Cube. it's set in a realistic-looking environment, as far as that's possible with this engine, and the gameplay stays fast and arcade. the whole vibe of this game is team oriented multiplayer fun, periodt. 👑

and here's the tea about the actual assaultcube thing you're running: it's a script 🫶 it executes /usr/lib/games/ac_client from the /usr/share/games/assaultcube/ directory, and it does that using these options:

--home=${HOME}/.assaultcube_v1.104 --init

and yeah, it'll accept any additional options you throw at it. she's flexible like that ✨

💅 OPTIONS 💅

• -wX — sets the screen width you want to X. the default is -w1024 🖥️
• -hY — sets the screen height you want to Y. the default is -h768 📐
• -t — forces AssaultCube to run in "window" mode (aka fullscreen goes off, bye bestie). but if you want to be extra, you can explicitly force fullscreen mode with -t1 🪟
• -zN — sets the precision of the z-buffer to N bits. it should be at least 24, otherwise you may experience depth problems 😭 (fr fr, don't skimp on this one)
• -bN — sets the colour depth to N bits per pixel. example: -b16 would set the colour depth to 16-bits 🎨
• -sN — sets the stencil buffer precision to N bits. this needs to be either 8 to enable shadowing effects, or 0 to turn it off (and 0 is the default) 🌑
• -aN — sets full-scene anti-aliasing to N samples. example: -a4 is 4x ✨
• -vN — enables v-sync if N is greater than 0. if N equals -1, then system defaults will be used 🔄
• --loadmap=FILE — forces AssaultCube to load the map named FILE when it launches 🗺️
• --loaddemo=FILE — forces AssaultCube to playback the demo named FILE when it launches 🎬
• -e"C" — executes the command C on launch (i.e. -e"echo hello"). for a list of all possible commands, refer to the CubeScript command reference 📜
• --init — executes the init script before starting the graphics and sound subsystems (recommended 💚). by default, the file ./config/init.cfg is used. you can override that by setting --init=yourfile.cfg ⚙️
• --mod=PATH — adds the specified path to the list of directories that get searched when loading resources. use this to "MOD" the game in a clean way, without having to place/replace files in the main directory. see the custom mods page for more info 🧚
• --home=PATH — specifies the AssaultCube home folder. AssaultCube will write custom settings and files to this directory (recommended) 🏠
• -mURL — sets the client to update its serverlist from the URL of a different masterserver. when you use this argument, you need to exclude the protocol at the beginning (i.e. add everything BUT http:// on to the argument). the default is -massault.cubers.net 🌐
• -T — tags a timestamp to each line of text output to the console 🕐
• -d — this starts the executable file for the AssaultCube CLIENT as an AssaultCube SERVER instead. you don't need this argument if you're using the server executable.

⚠️ there is no need to use this argument unless you know what you're doing. like, genuinely. hands off unless you're that girl 💀

• --version — prints out the version number (example: 1.104) instead of running AssaultCube 🔢
• --protocol — prints out the protocol number (example: 1140) instead of running AssaultCube 🔢
• --help — displays this manpage 🫶
