A Note About this Mirror

This is an unoffical Mirror, based partly on private backups and largely on archive.org.

It's a static copy of the Wiki, so search function etc won't work. Otherwise, browsing the pages should work fine.
Here is a list of all articles (or follow the more structured categories/links above).

It seems like everything could be restored (thanks to backups people made for offline viewing and archive.org), except for guied_ansi.jpg and guied_symbol.jpg of Adding_Fonts_to_use_in_Quake_4_GUIs.
If you have backups of those files please get in touch!

Thanks to some clarification from id on their addonPak system (now implemented in Q4 1.1), we now have a definitive guide to setting up your mapDefs and addon.conf files for autodownload support. This also should serve as a good beginner's guide for anyone new to creating mapDefs for custom maps in Quake 4.

Player model support has changed slightly with the release of the Quake 4 1.1 beta patch. We've added an overview of how to set up your custom models with the new .def file structure here. And yes, this means custom models can now be selected from the player selection menu!

We've added a section detailing community resources available online in addition to this site. If you can't find what you're looking for here, or if you're looking for some community tutorials, tools, or forums, take a peek in CommunityResources (now linked below).

There's also an overview of NetworkDemos added from just a few days ago.
