EPTI've just finished the main content of my Quake Live config editing tool. It's built with JS and HTML/CSS quite simple but I thought I'd reach out to TL's forums. I'm not sure if any of you still are into Quake, but it was a tough project for me that took hundreds of hours, and maybe I could get some cool community feedback.
www.quakeliveconfigeditor.com
Features that it includes:
- Nearly 300 unique Quake Live CVARS that are confirmed working in 2026. I've done my best to remove depricated CVARs and bind commands.
- Bind configuration, with smart filtering that doesn't allow multiple single key binds to exist.
- Importing .cfg or .txt to the app, allowing you to edit pro configs if you choose, importing a config will show an indicator next to the CVAR/BIND of what config file synchronized. Essentially, allowing you to import multiple configs (If you divide your configs into multiple categories like graphics.cfg system.cfg binds.cfg scripts.cfg etc)
- Exporting an autoexec.cfg directly from the website.
- CFG Preview so you can see what you'd export exactly until you do so, also with Smart Edit mode allowing you to make Manual Edits directly in the text.
- Weapon binds that allow for advanced toggling into Weapon Scripts, allowing the user to define aliases for each Weapon 1 - Weapon 14
- Misc scripts are included by me which include Enemy Skin Colors, Enemy Model Toggle, Volume Up/Down/Mute, and Rocket Jump
- Email sign up and Google Auth / Discord Auth, creating an account that you can return to the site and log in. The ability to store up to 5 custom configuration setups in your account.
- Sync your email with your Google / Discord accounts so you can log in with either of them and you will return to the same account.
- Every CVAR has default value indicators (Yellow color coded) and Recommended value indivators (Green). This helps with newer players to design their configs to more pro like settings.
- Descriptions for every CVAR (to the best of my ability, this was a solo project. I used AI to help clarify descriptions and quadruple checked everything across the web to make sure they were accurate.), hopefully guiding the user to successful final setup(s)
I greatly appreciate responses / suggestions / critiques. This project was done entirely by myself, so there's most likely some straggling bugs. If anyone could mess around and see if they could spot one that'd be great!
I already got some help from some people on ESR with forwarding the project. It's been good feedback so far but I'm a little self-critical and I hope you could help me be a little critical too!
Hope you guys have a wonderful night,
-Ryan
