Hello,

Does anyone know how to call a shell script from within Xonotic/Nexuiz?
I know of a hack. You can tell something to yourself and make a log parser execute some code when it detects the trigger line.
Well, divVerent has just sent me this page:

basically, it's the same idea, but instead of writing to urself, u send a packet to the listening program.
Thanks for ur reply Smile
Might need some fixes, I haven't tested this for a while.

Anyway, do not expect shell commands in DarkPlaces ever, this would open an enormous security breach that would be quite complicated to fix by design.
