wolfded — Return to Castle Wolfenstein dedicated server

Synopsis

wolfded [-h|--help] [-q|--quiet] [+set option value]... [+command] ...

Description

wolfded is the dedicated server for the first-person shooter Return to Castle Wolfenstein.

Options

The wrapper script used for RTCW in Debian accepts these options:
-h, --help
Display a short help summary
-q, --quiet
Disable all output

Any console command can also be prefixed with + and used as a command-line option (run the server in a terminal to use the console). The +set command is generally the most useful to use on the command line.

Options that can be set with +set (note that this is not a full list!) include:
