The plan is to abandon the "old" nquakesv linux installer, but I think it will be used for many more years, because of its simplicity and people are used to it.
here's a suggestion on how to improve it.
in the script, the scripts ask us how many ports we want to run. I suggest that we add an advanced menu option in that prompt.
the advanced menu, when selected, would print more options to the qwsv configuration.
here's a quick mockup of how it would look,:
Number of KTX ports setup: 0Add a port using the prompt below
Add port:1) normal KTX2) FFA only3) CTF only4) Clan Arena only
type X to exit.Your command: _
This would add more flavours to KTX, the current server listing is so bland.
I thought this advanced menu would be nicer if it was on a separate screen, refreshing the menu (with clear and rendering the menu again) when the user inputs a command.
when the user eXited, the script continued where it was before.
More options can be added ofc.
any advanced bash user could do this, I see this as an independent section of the install_nquake.sh script.
