| − | Create a new file named start_freespace (or whatever you like) in your home directory. Open the file in your editor of choice, and paste the following:
| |
| − | #!/bin/bash
| |
| − | cd /path/to/your/freespace/
| |
| − | ./fs2_open_r -spec -glow -mipmap -jpgtga -orbradar -mod Media_VP
| |
| − | | |
| − | The last line starts fs2_open with a number of arguments that turn on extra features. In the example, the game will use specular highlights, glow-mapping, mipmapping, jpg and tga graphic files, the orb radar, and any MediaVPs installed to the /Media_VP directory. You should edit this line to use those features that your system supports.

| |

| − | You can now type in start_freespace to start the game, or by clicking on start_freespace in your window manager. For convenience, you can copy it to your Desktop.
