quake2-server - classic first person shooter (dedicated server)

       This manual page, and the quake2-server wrapper script, were written by Simon McVittie <smcv@debian.org>,
       for the Debian project (and may be used by others). They are based on the Quake packaging by David  Banks
       and Simon McVittie.

       This manual page documents briefly the quake2-server command.

       QuakeII  is  a popular first-person shooter game, released in 1997 by iD Software.  This wrapper script
       will launch the Quake II engine.  The game data needs to be installed independently using the 'game-data-
       packager'  program,  and  by  default  it   will   be   looked   for   at   /usr/share/games/quake2   and
       /usr/share/games/quake2-demo.

       This  wrapper  script  accepts  a  few GNU-style options.  Any further arguments are passed to the engine
       unmodified.  Consult the engine documentation for full details, but most engines support a  syntax  where
       you can give console commands by prefixing with a plus sign.

       In  addition  to  any  arguments  on  the command line, the quake2-server script automatically passes the
       arguments "+set dedicated 1" to the engine.

       Run a server to play the demo in cooperative mode: quake2-server--demo+mapdemo1+setcoop1

       Run a deathmatch server:
              quake2-server+mapq2dm1+setdeathmatch1

       Use the default server configuration in /etc/quake2-server/debian_server.cfg:
              quake2-server+execdebian_server.cfg
