Quake Live configs for download

19 Jan 2009 by xephyr in beginner guides with 24 comments  

If you want to try Quake Live config files of other players, this is your chance. In this post we want to give you the opportunity to compare other player’s config with your own.

No example screenshots have been added yet. Quake Live is still in a closed beta fase and publishing screenshots would break the Non Disclosure Agreement (NDA).

Configs from the professionals

It is a pretty standard Quake Live config but all the important commands are there.

On stermy.com, the most known Italian quaker is sharing his Quake Live config. This config is what you would expect from an experienced player like stermy. It has all the right settings for optimal gameplay at the expense of the graphics, of course. Definitely worth a try if you don’t care about the graphics.

Configs from the community

This is a very well documented config which makes it easily customizable. The resolution is set to 1920*1200 but this can of course be changed: r_mode in console or config file or via the game menu.

This config has 3 scripts, i.e. a volume-, a demo- and a zoomscript (you will have to write +zoom when joining a new server). Maximum FPS has been set to 75, this makes the game more smooth on a TFT screen. A thin lightning gun beam and small rail trail might be cool extras to make this config worthwile to try.

If you’re looking for nice graphics, don’t try this config. If your computer can’t keep up with Quake Live on high detail, you might give this config a try. Almost all graphics have been removed. Not only to improve FPS but more importantly to improve the gameplay.

If you wish to see your config in the list, please post a link to your config in the commentbox below with some information.

    How about taking a screenshot while the cfg is exec-ed aswell so ppl can have a look at what their getting?

  2. At the moment that’s actually not allowed by the quake developers. If we did post ingame screenshots we’d surely get our accounts banned :/

  3. Now that Quake Live is in open beta, can you post screenshots?

    wow I made a quick look and looks like you really put your work into it.

    When we update our guides section with screenshot and everything, we’ll include it in the list.

    Thanks for sharing this :)

  6. I’m only interested in the thin lightning gun beam.
    Anyone know how to do this ?

  7. Someone had something like that in his cfg. It only changes that cg_gunX Y Z settings for the weapon and in my oppinion it doesnt really look much different, but here are the settings that he (and i) use for the lightning gun:

    cg_gunX -10; cg_gunY -2; cg_gunZ -8

    See for yourself…

  8. Hi.
    I thought i was done with the config, but i guess it will never be really done. I still want to change very much. For example i want to make different cfgs for different parts of the config (controls, graphic/video settings, other settings) because i often change some stuff and right now i got two “casual” gaming (with high video settings, one for demo viewing mainly) and a “competetive” config.
    Each time i want to change somethin, i got to change it in all three configs. So in the future i want one for controls (cause controls are always the same), some cfgs for graphic/video settings and so on.

    Also i would like to document every cvar that i change. i think cyn has something like that. Always helps new players to get a nice config too.

    If you are interested, you will always find an updated version of my cfg at the URL i mentioned. When i got the time i will work in that stuff :)

  9. I just did a HUGE update on the configs. Now its actually very close to what i want :) Now i only need to add some documentiation (i would like to have an explanation for every cvar, with ranges of the cvar and what it does), and maybe i will write a guide on how to customize these configs, But for now i’m quite happy with what i got :)

  10. It looks the links are broken? do you have your current configs uploaded somewhere, please?

    Thanks!

  11. They seem to all work now :o

    *fixed* thanks for noticing :)

  14. I just updated the configs again, don’t know when i last updated them, but this is the final version now. If you like them feel free to add them to the list.

  15. Oh and here are some screenshots of the two different configs:

    http://people.freenet.de/ErrorAsh/qlcasual.jpg

    I think i will do a few changes to the HUD when i got the time, like (re)move the “RECORDING blabla.dem” message (if thats possible), change the teamgame scoreboard (don’t kow how its called, the one on top left which shows teamscores), move everything a little more to the edge of the screen and maybe add some colored bars for life/armor.

    Nice links. Will defo try out the stermy cfg.

    One question though, why do people use r_mode? Doesn’t quakelibe set the resolution automatically?

    Thanks

  19. [...] configów prawdziwych prosów. Ja skorzysta?em z configu fox’a, który znalaz?em tutaj, razem z innymi plikami. Dodatkowo jest coraz wi?cej narz?dzi pomocnych przy edycji takich [...]

    Can you tell step by step how to use fox cfg? Maybe it’s finny but I can’t use it.

  22. heey
    i’d liek to try the configs above but if i totally dont like it, then how do i remove it?
    i think im sitll a beginner but i have to learn the config things so please help me

  23. Vuorinen, if you wish to create a config, then perhaps you wish to use the generator to get going. Afterwards you only need to apply the changes since August 7 changelogs on the Quake Live Dev Forum

    Hover the fields to get an explanation of what it all does and customize to your likings.

    To undo changes you made in Quake Live is not so obvious as they are usually remembered in qzconfig and repconfig in your /home/baseq3 folder.

    Anyone know how to adjust the screen resolution to something specific that is not an option in the game settings? thx
