quake-random-map-sh

This is a random quake map launcher script i made for myself, tired of having to remember which maps i already played and what progress i made in them, and enjoying to make temporary slige maps to play and enjoy, i came with this idea to have a script, that get a random map to play, either be them PAK files or bsp maps in the quake subdirectories.

If the file is a PAK file, it searches its contents for maps using the qpakman tool https://github.com/bunder/qpakman

It launches the random map using quakespasm installed system wide already in your PATH, but you can change the script to run with any source port, i choosed quakespasm because it can play any existing map almost always.

Dependencies:

quakespasm: https://quakespasm.sourceforge.net/ qpakman: https://github.com/bunder/qpakman

Usage: Edit QUAKE_DIR value with your quake installation directory and run: quake-random-map.sh (Optional)
