This script is used to launch Quake 3 games on a macOS system. It utilizes the open command to launch the game executable with various arguments to customize the game settings.
Launch Script Structure
The script consists of multiple lines, each launching a Quake 3 game executable with different settings.
Arguments Used
The following arguments are commonly used across multiple launch commands:
+set fs_basepath <path>: Sets the base path for game files.+set fs_homepath <path>: Sets the home path for game files.+set fs_restrict 0: Disables file restriction.+set sv_pure 0: Disables server purity checking.+set sv_cheats 1: Enables cheats.+set cheats 1: Enables cheats.+set developer 1: Enables developer mode.+set logfile 1: Enables logging.+set fs_game <game_path>: Sets the game path.+map <map_name>: Loads a specific map.Game-Specific Settings
Each launch command has unique settings that are specific to the game being launched. These settings include:
+set r_showtris 0: Disables triangle rendering (used in one of the launch commands).+set devmap <map_name>: Loads a specific map in developer mode.+set net_enable 1: Enables network functionality (used in one of the launch commands).+set recentPassword "recentPassword": Sets a recent password (used in one of the launch commands).+set timescale 8: Sets the game timescale (used in one of the launch commands).+bind leftarrow rewind and +bind rightarrow forward: Bind key commands for rewinding and fast-forwarding (used in one of the launch commands).+demo <demo_name>: Starts a specific demo (used in one of the launch commands).Conclusion
This script launches Quake 3 games on a macOS system with various settings and configurations. It utilizes the open command to launch the game executable and passes arguments to customize the game settings.
