[script] Right click open demo in Nexuiz with Gnome (Ubuntu)

[-z-]

In the same breath as the [url=http://nexuizninjaz.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=771]Right click open a Nexuiz Map[/url] thread, I wanted to show you how to do the same with a Demo.

Open up the terminal and type the following to create the script that's going to run off the right click, and give it executable permissions.

Code:

cd "$HOME/.gnome2/nautilus-scripts" && touch "Open Nexuiz Demo" && chmod +x "Open Nexuiz Demo" && gedit "Open Nexuiz Demo" &

Your text editor will pop up. Paste the following code and set the variables to match your settings.

Code:

#!/bin/bash
# Set variables
nexuizdir="/home/tyler/svn_software/nexuiz/nexuiz_25"
nexuizbin="nexuiz-linux-x86_64-glx"

# Run it
$nexuizdir/$nexuizbin -basedir $nexuizdir +playdemo demos/$1

In your terminal again, open your Nexuiz data directory:

Code:

nautilus ~/.nexuiz/data/demos

Now right click a map >> scripts >> Open Nexuiz Demo


For your commandline junkies, you can add a little alias as a convenience:

Code:

gedit $HOME/.bashrc

Add the following (with your path) to the bottom your your bashrc):

Code:

alias nexdemo='"/home/tyler/.gnome2/nautilus-scripts/Open Nexuiz Demo"'

Save and close, type:

Code:

bash

to enter a new bash session.

Code:

cd ~/.nexuiz/data/demos
nexdemo <demoname.dem>

to open it from the command line
