##Description## This is a Python based launcher for Quake 1. Inspired by Rocket Launcher 2 for Doom source ports. This launcher has been tested mainly on Linux/XUbuntu.

The launcher handles Quake 1 custom maps, mods and source ports differently. It does not follow the standard procedure of installing Quake 1 source ports, mods and maps but instead it creates symbolic link to the respective path in order to keep the Quake 1 installation base tidy.

And yes it does work fine, I tested the launcher with FTE quake and it was possible to load custom maps, mods and the source port withouth cluttering the Quake 1 installation base. FTE Quake handled everything fine and that is all done through symbolic links.

The launcher will remove the symbolic links as soon the game closes

This software is considered Alpha and there may be some hidden bugs which could impact negatively on your experience, so use it on your own risk.

Operating System (Ubuntu): python3 pip3
