In the linux version of Urt, all the maps and videos etc are stored in /home/user/.q3a as opposed to in the specific game folder like in windows. I would like to set up a completely isolated version of UrT4.2 for mapping purposes, however unless I install it as another user, It forces me to use the same .q3a folder my normal urt4.2 uses. I need to somehow separate my mapping q3a and my regular gaming q3a. Is there a way to do this?

Thanks!

fs_homepath and fs_basepath cvars

Well JohnnyEnglish helped me out on IRC.

To do this I simply need to create a shortcut or startscript which will +set fs_homepath to something different than the .q3a directory.

script bash for urban terror 4.2

from a terminal emulator
nano urt42.sh

#!/bin/sh

# Change the path of the binary to whatever you use to launch the game.
# This should be set to whatever you've been using to start Urban Terror
# in the past. For example (2 examples):
# URBAN_TERROR_EXECUTABLE="/opt/UrbanTerror42/Quake3-UrT.i386"
# URBAN_TERROR_EXECUTABLE="/opt/UrbanTerror42/Quake3-UrT.x86_64"

URBAN_TERROR_EXECUTABLE="/opt/UrbanTerror42/Quake3-UrT.x86_64"

"$URBAN_TERROR_EXECUTABLE" +set fs_homepath ~/.urt $*

chmod +x urt42.sh

to run the program
./urt42.sh

* /opt/UrbanTerror42 is directory example of game
