🌸 DARKPLACES(6) — games manual, but make it a vibe 🌸

okay bestie, sit down, hydrate, and let me tell you about darkplaces-server 💖

✨ NAME ✨

darkplaces-server — an engine for iD software's Quake and related games 👑

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

darkplaces-server [ -options ] [ +set cvar value ] [ +console commands ]

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So. DarkPlaces is an engine for Quake and all the related games, and it's giving greatly enhanced effects and lighting plus a whole pile of features made specifically for mods. it's literally that girl 💅

darkplaces-server is the dedicated-server version of DarkPlaces — same energy, but with fewer dependencies, so it's the low-maintenance bestie of the family 🫶

⭐ OPTIONS ⭐

This program follows the Quake convention, where the long options start with a single dash (-). not the fancy double-dash thing, okay? single dash. it's quirky like that 🙈 Options include:

• -basedir — tells it where the game data files live 🗂️
• -game — starts the game using the files from a mission pack or a mod 🎮
• -hipnotic — starts the game with the Hipnotic mission pack 💫
• -rogue — starts the game with the Rogue mission pack 🔥
• -nexuiz — expects the basedir to contain the standalone game Nexuiz instead of Quake 👀

Various other mods and standalone games are supported, so go peek at /usr/share/doc/darkplaces-server/README.Debian for the full tea 🍓
