NAME

etqw - Enemy Territory: Quake Wars client

SYNOPSIS

etqw [-h|--help] [--quiet] [--smp] [debugging options] [+set option value]...

DESCRIPTION

etqw is the client for "Enemy Territory: Quake Wars", a multiplayer first-person shooter game.

OPTIONS

The wrapper script used for ETQW in Debian accepts these options:
-h, --help
Display a short help summary
--quiet
Suppress console output
--smp
Use the multi-threaded version of the client and the modified copy of SDL that is bundled with it. The default is to use the single-threaded client and the system copy of SDL. Both versions are included in the etqw-bin package.
--debugger=DEBUGGER
Prepend a debugger or other prefix (such as strace) to the ETQW command line
--print-backtrace
Use gdb(1) to get a backtrace if ETQW crashes (the gdb package must be installed)

Any console command can also be prefixed with + and used as a command-line option (press Ctrl+Alt and the key above Tab to access the in-game console).
