Make sure that "play" is the default action (click on "set default" after creating the action) for BSP files, otherwise you can use the context menu but double-click won't work.

Click "New..." and in the first field type "Play" and for the second field type "WScript.exe D:\Scripts\quake_bsp_run.js %1" This works on XP, probably works on 2000 too, but i have no idea if it works in Vista or any of the 95/98/ME versions.

But that's cheating. ;) By: Bad Sector http://www.quaddicted.com/tips-and-tricks/launching-maps-and-demos-with-a-doubleclick/comment-page-1/#comment-879 Bad Sector Thu, 05 Feb 2009 04:04:07 +0000 http://www.quaddicted.com/?p=374#comment-879 You can do the same in Windows if you have bash available (like, for example, if you have MSYS installed) - there is nothing Linux-specific to it :-P.
