Installation and Usage
Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/okavatti/eqs
Open a terminal and navigate to the directory.
cd eqs
Make the eqs.sh script executable by running chmod +x eqs.sh.
Run the script by running ./eqs.sh in the terminal.
When running the script, you will be asked which game you want to play. After selecting a game, you will be prompted to enter the location of the game's executable file. You should enter the location of the file itself, not the directory it is located in. Finally, you will be asked which mod you want to use.
If you are using Windows, it is recommended that you use the Steam version or Darkplaces instead of EQS.
Before using the script, it is recommended that you read the readme.txt file located in the same directory as the script.
This script has been tested on Linux, macOS, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, and NetBSD. It may work on other UNIX-like systems as well.
If your system is not supported, the script will inform you and exit.
