| − | {{Note| You will need to edit this script before it will work properly. The second line must point to the directory where you installed fs2_open. You can also find a more elaborated script example below in the i18n section. Also remember ''your'' specific paths throughout this article.}}
| + | With wxLauncher being available, this is no longer necessary. |

| − | In order to use all of the advanced engine features of fs2_open, you'll need to start the executable with a number of command line arguments. Instead of typing them in every time you want to start the game, why not create a script that does it for you?

| − | | |
| − | 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.

| − | Once you've edited the file to your heart's content, make it executable:
| |
| − | $ chmod +x start_freespace
| |
| − | | |
| − | 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.
