👑 ioquake3 — the manual, but make it slay

okay so bestie, welcome to ioquake3(6) from the Games Manual — yes, section 6, the games section, we love her. this is the whole thing, nothing skipped, periodt. 💅

✨ NAME ✨

ioquake3 — the ioQuake3 game engine, and specifically the client side of it 🎀

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

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

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so this page is the quick little rundown of the ioquake3 command. not a novel, just the essentials, but the essentials are important 💖

ioquake3 is the game engine client for ioQuake3 based games. that's the whole vibe.

now here's the tea ☕ — the version that ships in Debian is not usually useful to run directly, and it's not in your PATH. so like, don't go typing ioquake3 in your terminal and expecting magic, bestie, because it won't be there. instead, the openarena and quake3 Debian packages provide wrapper scripts to launch particular games. those are your main characters. use those. 🫶

🔥 OPTIONS 🔥

ngl this part is iconic because any console command can be prefixed with + and used as a command-line option. literally any of them. and if you wanna access the in-game console yourself, press Shift+Esc. that's your portal. 🌈

so, including:

  • +set option value — sets an option. (peep below for a lil taste of some options you can set 👀)
  • +connect server[:port] — connects you to a server. go be social, bestie 💜

🎀 Options you can set with +set 🎀

  • r_fullscreen <bool> — 1: play in fullscreen mode (immersive queen behavior 👑). 0: play in window mode (multitasking girlie behavior 🙈).
  • r_mode <num> — sets the screen resulotion mode. and yes, set num to -1 to use a customized resolution — see also r_customheight and r_customwidth! ✨
  • r_customwidth <pixels> — use pixels as the width if r_mode is set to -1.
  • r_customheight <pixels> — use pixels as the height if r_mode is set to -1.
