IOQ3DED(6)

✨ NAME ✨

okay so bestie, gather round 💖 this is the manual page for ioq3ded — the ioQuake3 game engine, but make it the dedicated server edition 👑 (and yeah, it lives in section 6 of the manual, the Games Manual, because it's a whole game thing not a boring sysadmin thing 💅).

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

/usr/lib/ioquake3/ioq3ded [+set option value]...

that's literally it, that's the whole vibe ✨

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

ioquake3-server is the dedicated server for the ioQuake3 game engine 🎮 no cap.

now here's the tea tho ☕ the version that Debian ships is not usually useful to run directly, and it is not included in the PATH 🙈 so like, don't just type ioq3ded and expect the universe to answer, bestie.

instead, the openarena and quake3 Debian packages hand you wrapper scripts that launch servers for those particular games 🎀 so that's the move. use those. periodt.

💅 OPTIONS 💅

okay so here's the iconic part 🫶 any console command can be prefixed with + and used as a command-line option — and if you wanna actually use the console, run the server in a terminal 🌈

+set is generally the most useful one to use on the command line, lowkey the main character of this whole section 👑 but things like +map also work, so you're not limited to just the one.

and now, options that can be set with +set — and heads up bestie, this is not a full list! ⚠️ it's giving "the greatest hits", not "the whole album" 😭
