Q4Max

Q4Max is a designed to be a competition class mod to Quake4.  The great thing is the skins are bright green and yellow, depending on team.  I have updated our Q4 server to this mod so you need to get it.

Save the installer to your Quake4 folder....NOT q4base.  Then run the installer to properly install it.

I have a private server running at

Clan Sharpshooter Private Quake4 Server : 216.27.167.131:28004

Usual private server password.

We rotate it from CTF, Arena CTF, Team DM and Deathmatch.

Easy to use, similiar layout to Gamespy and ASE, but very nice supports many other games too.

Config changes can help dramatically your older systems performance with Quake4.

Just because you don't have a 4200 Athlon64x2 and 2 gig ram etc... does not mean you can't play the game.  Granted you will want to upgrade, but you can get started with the game if you have a decent system already.

For those interested, as of now, these are the only things in my config.  I exec each time I join. Everything else I change in game or adjust at console.
