Nexuiz 1.5 installer for GNU/Linux in Bourne Shell

[a thing]

From a shell, just enter the path you saved it to.

Changes since last version:
1. Detection of AC'97 soundcards - sets sound speed parameters in scripts if detected,
2. Supports 1.5 instead of 1.2.1. (duh)
3. Support for installing to ~.
4. Automatic mirror selection (determined by $LANG).
5. Exits telling you if nexuiz is in your $PATH or not.
6. Better commented and organized code.

Please post any bugs and suggestions.

Well i just took a quick look at it.. looks good to me. (As my pure-free debian is still not able to play games )
How robust is that ac97 dedection? Do you think its stable enough to include in a similar fashion in the nexuiz linux shell file?

This is all it is:

Code: Select all

lsmod|grep -i ac97 >/dev/null&&echo -sndspeed 48000

You just gave me an idea: including that in the starter script, instead of detecting it when creating them, incase of switching soundcards, which I just updated it to do.

So yeah, you could include it in the script.

Well, it checks whether ac97 kernel modules are loaded. That should work on any system, the only question is, whether there are soundcards that load snd_ac97_codec, but are unable to use 48kHz. However i don't think so...
It's a good idea (i would still prefer a menu switch, that would work on windows, too...) and i'll include it in the nexuiz-linux.sh in svn
