Minor convenience item for the distribution .zip file

Postby STEB » Sun Nov 10, 2002 12:01 am

I use ROX-Filer http://rox.sourceforge.net to control my desktop. The inclusion of two small files in the .zip distribution will make my life (and the life of anyone else who uses rox and plays wq3a a lot easier as it will make the western quake 3 folder something I can just click on to play:

1) a file named AppRun containing the following:
#!/bin/sh
dir=`dirname $0`
echo $dir
game=`basename $dir`
quakedir=`dirname $dir`
gamedir=${HOME}/.q3a/$game
logfile=$gamedir/client.log
[ -d $gamedir ] || logfile=/dev/null
exec $quakedir/quake3 +set fs_game $game >&$logfile

2) A .png version of the icon named .DirIcon I can provide this if you like

Thanks

That is basically a shell script and would be able to be run from any linux desktop. I don't know many people who use ROX but it wouldn't hurt to include this since all linux users can use the icon and shell script to run the mod or to add it to their gnome/kde panel etc.
