Steam Play - FTEQW

If you'd like a convenient way to use your system binary of FTEQW in order to run games such as:

Quake (and QuakeWorld, it'll know to differentiate)
Quake Mission Pack 1: Scourge of Armagon
Quake Mission Pack 2: Dissolution of Eternity
Quake II
Quake II Mission Pack 1: The Reckoning
Quake II Mission Pack 2: Ground Zero
Quake III Arena
Quake III: Team Arena
HeXen II

Then this is the right tool for you.

It'll play with the new re-release content by default now; if you want it to ALWAYS start with the original, authentic content set PLAY_RERELEASE to 0 inside fteqw_wrapper.

You will not be able to play the new expansions however.

Dependencies

None, it expects your /bin/sh to handle arrays and things though. And you want fteqw installed. Put it into $HOME/bin if that's in your $PATH or something. You'll figure it out.

Installation

In order to install it, you just clone the repository into your $HOME/.steam/steam/compatibilitytools.d/ directory.

If the directory 'compatibilitytools.d' does not exist, make sure to create it.
