      @mitu Nehara looks BEAUTIFUL! thanks for the recommendation!
      2 questions though: I see 5 PAK files, which of these would I actually use and would I be making individual scripts for each?

      I was expecting just one big PAK file

        @semper-5 create a nehahra folder with all the packs, sitting side by side with the default id folder (I think the download from https://www.quaddicted.com/reviews/nehahra.html already has the right folder structure) then launch DP with the -nehahra parameter and it should work.

          @mitu I extracted the contents of the nehara.zip with nehara folder containing the packs, all next to the id1 folder.

          do you have a pastebin of what my script should look like? I'm a bit confused how I can relate the windows command to what it should be in retropie

            @semper-5 How do you launch other Quake mods ? What script(s) are you using ? Btw, you can safely delete all the .exe files in there.

                @semper-5 Well these scripts are outdated ;) - I told you. Of course you can use them but they aren't needed.

                  @semper-5 Man, what an ugly hack ! Try creating a Nehahra.sh launch file containing just

                  "/opt/retropie/supplementary/runcommand/runcommand.sh" 0 _PORT_ "quake" "-nehahra"
                  

                  I'll try installing DP in RetroPie and dig up my Quake install files to check it out.

                    @mitu I had literally just finished creating a script exactly as you described haha. unfortunately it didn't work. it just goes to regular quake. do you think I should be pointing it to the pak0.pak in the nehara folder?

                    @cyperghost I was afraid to destroy all your work but reducing over 100 lines to just 1 was a lot less painless than I thought :D

                      @semper-5 No problem. It was a sneak hack as lr-tyrquake wasn't able to launch addons. As there was only one save location (ID1) and lr-tyrquake used always same save structure I created zip files to store addons savegames per file.

                      @mitu Not ugly ;) SNEAK ;) I think one of my first bash attempts.

                        @semper-5 said in Launching Quake and it's extras (1 year anniversary release):

                        do you think I should be pointing it to the pak0.pak in the nehara folder?

                        I don't think it's enough, DP needs the -nehahra switch to know it should run some specific Nehahra code. I'll try to whip up a script, but first I must convince Steam to download my Quake1 files.

                          Can you discuss this please in a new thread?
                          I think a small "how to install nehara"-thread would be better as it's a DP mod and can't be run in lr-tyrquake.
