the term "" comes to mind

Here a simple script for linux users to help finding what went wrong. I messed a long time before doing this for finally finding it was the -mem option which was missing. It would be great to have the most common options selectable, or some kind of memo for head-in-the-sky guys like me.

#!/bin/sh
/path/to/my/quake/engine ${*} >/tmp/q.log

Don't forget to chmod +x

Holy Crap. They do have about every sp map ever made.....

Yes, that is one thing I definitely want added. Some engine/game settings already preconfigured (mem, resolution, etc). However the main target engine (especially for Linux) is not public yet, so that's not that important right now.

It would be handy if the engine's output would not be not displayed.

Nice! Great work!

some maps have lits and optional skyboxes. will this be a choice as well?

[Trickle]

I really like how detailed it is with authors and release dates.

[spooker]

it's a brilliant idea, but sadly it did not work for me. various different errors when it tried to launch a map

[Spirit]

If you say what kind of errors (as specific as possible) then we can fix it.

unfortunately i dont think it's worth the effort for me, as i don't play many single player maps and i'm fairly adept at installing them. it's a nice program idea though, so i hope it works for others, particularly newbies
