Lashknife’s Quake Live Config Generator

Quake games have always been highly customizable by either executing configs or typing the cvars or commands straight into the console. Quake Live is no different.
For new players or for those who come from other games, it seems as if the experienced players get an edge over them. It must be said that config tweaking is not cheating in any way, because new players also have the option to tweak as much as they want. However, the console is not the most user friendly place if you're not familiar with it, so I decided to provide an online Quake Live config generator to quickly adjust several ingame settings without having to go through all the available cvars and commands.

Remark: even though it seems most Quake 3 commands and cvars still exist in Quake Live, some are different. It is therefore not advised to just execute your Quake 3 config because it has been reported it can lead to a game crash!

How to use:

Navigate through the available tabs to see what options you can set.
If you hover the mouse over a text field or checkbox, it shows a small explanation of what the ingame command looks like and what it does.
When you have set all options to your likings, or if you changed options after generating a config, just go to the Generate tab and press the Update button.
Some options require the video rendering system to restart, do this using the vid_restart command.
Download the config into your Quake Live home directory. Once ingame, you can execute it using the command: /exec configname

Colors can be easily set by two new cmds: setteamcolor and setenemycolor These commands accept one to three parameters to colorize the upper body, lower body and head of the bright skin. These parameters are entered in the form of letters, with a to x representing the rainbow, and two additional arguments of y (white) and z (gray). You may use a single color parameter to colorize the entire model one color, or up to three arguments to customize the players chest, legs and head. Examples: 'setenemycolor h' will set the entire model green 'setenemycolor hy' will set the models chest green, legs & head white 'setenemycolor hyz' will set the models chest green, legs white, and head gray If you wish to have a greater control over their color options, you can configure the individual cvars that the setenemycolor and setteamcolor commands assign values to. These cvars accept only RGBA hexadecimal parameters, such as 0x00FF00FF for bright green (0xRRBBGGAA format). Setting these cvars are not required if you use the simple setenemycolor and setteamcolor cmds: cg_enemyUpperColor cg_enemyLowerColor cg_enemyHeadColor cg_teamUpperColor cg_teamLowerColor cg_teamHeadColor * Added cg_enableRespawnTimer to draw the respawn timings of certain items (armor, megahealth, powerups) for spectators -- on private servers only. This feature is dependent upon server-side shoutcaster privileges being enabled. Items are sorted by height according to their placement in the level for non-ctf games, and are sorted by team according to proximity from flag in CTF. * Added cg_respawnTimerX and cg_respawnTimerY to control the position of where spectator respawn timers are drawn. * Added (cg_compMode ?) 'Large' hud option as a comp-friendly alternative hud, selectable within the in-game Game Settings. * Added cg_compHud (defaults to 0, saved). cg_compHud 1 will enable the stream friendly hud on private servers. * Added cg_drawSpecMessages and cg_drawPregameMessages to hide messages from the pregame / spec hud. * Added cg_redTeam, cg_redTeamShort, cg_blueTeam and cg_blueTeamShort; clientside cvars to override the team name displayed in the hud scorebox and follow info message for use in stream broadcasts. * Added cg_playernames to draw players names above their heads while you spectate (both freecam and 1st person spec) * Added cg_lightningImpact to toggle the impact fx created when the lightning stream impacts a surface. * Added cg_muzzleFlash to toggle the the muzzle flashes. * Added cg_smoke_SG to toggle shotgun smoke puffs on/off. * Added cg_smokeRadius_GL to scale the size of the grenade/proxy smoke trails. * Added cg_smokeRadius_RL to scale the size of the rocket smoke trails. * Added cg_switchToEmpty to toggle the ability to switch to weapons that have no ammo. * Changed default mouseAccel method to the old style (cl_mouseAccelStyle 0). Sept. 1st Update ================ * Added cg_deadBodyDarken <0|1> (default = 0) Toggling this cvar on will darken 'bright' players as soon as they become corpses. * Added cg_deadBodyColor <0xRRGGBBFF> (default = 0x101010FF) Altering this cvar allows you to customize the color applied to dead bright bodies when cg_deadBodyDarken is enabled. * Changed shotgun pattern to use 20 pellets in a diffused 3 ring pattern, each dealing 5 damage for a total of 100 damage. * Added cg_smokeRadius_NG <0-16> (default = 16) Lowering the value of this cvar will scale the radius of the smoke puffs drawn in the nailgun trails. A value of 0 will entirely disable the smoke trails. * Added cg_bubbleTrail <0|1> (default = 1) Toggling this cvar off disables the underwater bubble trails drawn behind many bullets and projectiles while underwater. * Removed cg_noProjectileTrails due to the addition of the cg_smokeRadius_NG and cg_bubbleTrails. * Added cg_waterWarp <0|1> (default = 1) Toggling this cvar off disables the minor under-water warping effected that exists when submerged underwater. The effect has little impact on gameplay but can be induce disorientation in some players. * Added cg_zoomScaling <0|1> (default = 1) Toggling this cvar off disables the zooming in / zooming out scaling effect that is used as a transition between your cg_fov and cg_zoomfov; causing the +zoom to act as a quick snap to and from the zoomed fov. * Added cg_zoomToggle <0|1> (default = 0) Toggling this cvar on alters the behavior of +zoom such that a single key press will enable zooming and a repeated keystroke disables zooming, no longer requiring players to hold the key down while zooming. * Added cg_zoomSensitivity <float> (default = 1) The value of this cvar is multiplied to our current zoom sensitivity, allowing the user to increase or decrease their sensitivity while zoomed. A value of 0 will revert the zoomSensitivity code to the Q3 legacy code that was previously available in QuakeLive. * Added cg_drawFragMessages <0|1> (default = 1) Toggling this cvar off disables the 'You Fragged So-and-So' centerprint message from drawing on your screen. The shorthand obituary will still print to the HUD to make note of any kills. * Added cg_buzzerSound <0|1> (default = 1) Toggling this cvar off disables the end-game buzzer sound in all gametypes. * Changed cg_allowTaunt <0|1> (default = 1) to now also disable gesture events clientside in addition to disabling Team Arena style VO taunts when this cvar is disabled. * Added cg_lightningStyle <1|2|3|4> (default = 1) Altering this cvar will cycle through various lightning stream effects: Default Q3/QL, QuakeWorld inspired, Team Arena shaft, and thin shaft options. * Renamed cg_oldRail <0|1> (default = 1) to cg_railStyle <1|2> (default = 1). The new naming structure fits in line with the cg_lightningStyle and the old convention made little sense, as the reference 'old' is lost between iterations of the game. * Renamed cg_oldRocket <0|1> (default = 1) to cg_rocketStyle <1|2> (default = 1). The new naming structure fits in line with the cg_lightningStyle and the old convention made little sense, as the reference 'old' is lost between iterations of the game. * Renamed cg_oldPlasma <0|1> (default = 1) to cg_plasmaStyle <1|2> (default = 1). The new naming structure fits in line with the cg_lightningStyle and the old convention made little sense, as the reference 'old' is lost between iterations of the game. * Fixed 'Falling Damage Received when Landing Crouched from Jumppads' * Optimized cg_drawGun 0 by disabling the weapon sway/position calculations when the weapon is not being drawn. * Changed cl_mouseAccel, cl_mouseAccelStyle, cl_mouseAccelOffset and cl_maxPackets to now replicate (save to config in database). * Added cg_newWeaponBar 2 and cg_newWeaponBar 3 options for right and center aligned weapon ammo bars. Sept. 15th Focus Update ======================= * Added cg_screenDamage <0/1> (default:1) To toggle the on screen damage indicator. * Added cg_screenDamage_Self <0/1> (default: 0) To toggle the on screen damage indicator for self damage. (for example, damage from rocket jumping) * Added cg_zoomOutOnDeath <0/1> (default: 1) to reset player FOVs back to normal on death. This is useful if you use the cg_zoomToggle cvar. Sept. 16th Focus Update ======================= * Added cg_screenDamage <0xRRGGBBAA> (default: 0x700000C8) To colorize the on screen damage indicator; use "cg_screenDamage 0" to disable. * Added cg_screenDamage_Self <0xRRGGBBAA> (default: 0x00000000) To toggle the on screen damage indicator for self damage. (for example, damage from rocket jumping) * Added cg_screenDamage_Team <0xRRGGBBAA> (default: 0x700000C8) To colorize the on screen damage indicator for team damage; use "cg_screenDamage_Team 0" to disable. (Friendly Fire in Team Deathmatch) * Added cg_HitBeep <0/1/2> (default: 2) To play different tones based on the amount of damage done to an opponent. 0 = off, 1 = single tone (old style), 2 = new multi-tone option.
