Online Quake Live Config Editor app (9 comments)
Posted by bassettr86 @ 13:43 CST, 26 February 2026 - iMsg
I've been working on a online config editor for Quake Live, with the ability to create a custom config entirely in the browser.

https://quakeliveconfigeditor.com

It has the ability to:

Set binds for all binds found in QL ingame interface + more
Create custom weapon scripts
Create other custom scripts in a window module
Set 281 different Quake Live cvar / config settings
Search by cvar name and tags
Export and download a .cfg directly from the UI
Programmed-in dependencies for certain cvars, hiding and revealing dependent cvars when master toggles are enabled/disabled

This has been an entirely solo project, and I'm seeking some community feedback and possibly some suggestions, especially for:

1) Missing cvars for important settings, especially for competitive play
2) UI/UX improvements, the overall look and feel of the site, small (or big) recommended improvements/adjustments in site design
3) Incorrect cvar descriptions or values, or to suggest including new selections or values
4) Overall, is this a successful project that could be useful for players? If not, I'd like to know why and what I could do to make it so.
5) Any broken aspects of the site, bugs or problems.
6) Any scripts recommended to include in the config editor, I can add new bind inputs to those custom scripts

Note: Current scripts I've included are...
Weapon aliases
Volume up/down
Enemy Colors (custom Head/Torso/Legs)
Enemy Model toggle
Direct Rocket Jump

If anyone has feedback, post it here! I'd love to hear from you. And I wouldn't mind working with another programmer or developer to expand. PS. Contributors will get credit on the page footer for their efforts.

Update 03/01/2026


Thanks to ProT in the forum responses, I've updated the app to v2. I worked very hard on his suggestions (give him thanks) to include:

1) Membership creation / Login including Google Auth or Discord Auth. You can also register with email address and then sync your Google/Discord to that email.
2) Importing configs now works. There are indicators for what settings were imported by the config.
3) Smart checking on duplicate binds. A Manual Edit mode for the CFG Preview,
4) 1080p design. Now the site is wider.
5) Importing configs populates imported binds as well as settings.
6) Cloud saving configs. Every user has 5 slots to save their configs and name them.

There may be more additions I made I just don't know off the top of my head.

One thing I'd like to hear from you guys is if I'm missing any recommended settings to add (or binds). I tried including all the major ones, but what happens here is when you import a setting that's not found in one of my categories, it gets pushed to the bottom under // Uncategorized settings and scripts.

Thanks ESR.

OpenQ4 - Modern, full binary replacement for Quake 4 (1 comment)
Posted by TheMuffinMan @ 04:24 CST, 25 February 2026 - iMsg
As titled, a project in its early days

I have been working on this project for a few weeks which offers an open-source game engine alongside its own game binaries. It picks up on unfinished work from Justin Marshall and drives my own set of improvements and goals.

Aim: to offer an open-source set of binaries. The closed-source BSE (effects system) has been fully reverse engineered and remains closed source to minimize potential legal issues, but the engine plugs into its API.

Features:
* modern and extensive platform/arch/hardware support for Windows, macOS and Linux PCs through SDL3
* nightly builds for all platforms
* full game controller/joystick support
* full screen aspect adjustments. from a coding perspective, it works perfectly, but some additional assets and menu refactoring considerations are needed for enhanced horizontal expansion (WIP).
* EAX audio
* auto-discovery for game installations in Steam or GOG
* multi-monitor and borderless support
* unified game dir for SP and MP binaries
* up-to-date external libs

Goals:
* SP/MP library merging/part-merge
* 5 years of RBDOOM3-BFG updates to port over (ie: shadowmapping)
* UTF-8 and TTF font support
* Expanding project to a unified engine for Quake 4, Doom 3, Doom 3 BFG, Prey and ETQW
* Reworking engine to allow true, higher framerates.
* Enhanced competitive features for MP, essentially porting from WORR/MuffMode.

alternative to Quake 2 Starter? (1 comment)
Posted by azxx @ 04:40 CST, 11 February 2026 - iMsg
Quake 2 Starter ( http://q2s.tastyspleen.net/ ) was to Q2 what nQuake is to Q1/QW. But I tried it recently and it seems broken? Something in the package to do with the source port it seems? Is there a manual fix or alternative? These kinds of community installers are really good for getting new players up and running, and also good for a quick setup on a temporary computer.

Man. Why vedic? Or Brendan or whatever. Why Brendan?

Why did you work on this site for months, almost revived it, then deleted it all in a, what I can only describe as, the most retarded hissy fit I have EVER witnessed on the internet?

Whyyyyyyyyyyy

I wrote the guy an angry farewell letter (actually it was just a reply), but then deleted it the next day or so because of .... you know this feeling when you really CARE, but get the impression noone else really cares and will shit on you for caring? Yes, that.

So yes, I was addicted to Q3a and ESR as it was cool. And a too long time after admittedly. I was almost the last person who contributed to leave (some crazy people stayed with dead Q3a, I will not count them, or speak loudly about them...). This was my all. I lost girlfriends over Quake and ESR (yes really). I admired Sujoy the whole way, up until when he abandoned us. I loved all about this site: the freedom, the toxic flaming, all of it.

But now it's gone and I miss it so much I am angry about Brandan, for giving me hope and swiping it away under my feed just as I was getting comfortable again (well, lurking mostly, but still).

Brendan, would you axplain yourself? Or am I retarded and missed the explanation?

And while we're at it, why not recover the working parts of your edits, Brandan? You probably are a competent coder, it basically couldn't be worse as to what it is now. ?
