14 The recommended way to run Vega Strike is to run vegastrike-wrapper.sh,
16 which will create $HOME/.vegastrike if necessary and, on the first run,
17 run vssetup to allow you to configure vegastrike for your system.
18 Finally it executes vslauncher which allows you to begin a New Game or
19 continue an existing one.
20
22 vegastriker-wrapper.sh program see above
23 vssetup program allows the user to change the vegastrike settings like
25 screen resolution, fullscreen / window, etc.
26 vslauncher program allows the user to select a mission to run, and
28 whether to start a new or save game to use via the New Game or Load
29 Game buttons, then executes vegastrike
30 A user may autorecover an autosave file by clicking on the Recover Auto
32 Save button, and selecting the save game to recover to, which will
33 launch vegastrike and recover the save game. Save games must be saved
34 at a base or planet.
35 vegastrike program begins Vega Strike with the selected XML mission
37 file (full path necessary)
38
40 Run the vegastrike-wrapper.sh program to set up your specific config
41 options and then invoke vslauncher for you.
