SYNOPSIS

vsinstall

vssetup

vegastrike [-ddata_dir] [-px,y,z] [-jsector/starsystem] missionname

The recommended way to run Vega Strike is to first run vsinstall to configure your system and play the game.

DESCRIPTION

vsinstall script Sets up the default save game, copies the vegastrike.config file to a user's ~/.vegastrike-0.4.x directory and runs vssetup from the proper directory (and runs the game afterwards).

vssetup binary This binary is called by vsinstall to do the initial setup of vegastrike. It can also be used again by running the command while in the directory ~/.vegastrike-0.4.x.

vegastrike binary Begins Vega Strike with the selected XML mission file (full path necessary) and the save game appearing as the only text in ~/.vegastrike-0.4.x/save.txt
