there is a DarkPlaces bias to this page, as it is a good engine for developing mods, any other engine authors should feel free to add links to their ?extensions.qc files and other resources relevant to their engine, but please try to keep this page a managable size, as it is only a getting started guide, not the whole Wiki :)įirst you need to make a directory inside your quake directory, for instance leetrockets, or mymod (you can rename it later), all files and ?paks inside this directory will be loaded at a higher priority than the ones in the id1 directory, but files you did not replace will come from the id1 directory, so for instance if you make a mymod/?progs.dat (by compiling QuakeC code), it will override the ?progs.dat file contained in id1/pak0.pak, thus changing the gameplay behavior, but all other files come from the id1 directory (for instance progs/player.mdl in id1/pak0.pak).

This is intended as a basic guide to getting the resources needed to start making a mod, some suggestions on first mods to make to learn the language and nature of Quake modding, and links to forums and IRC channels and other resources relevant to Quake modding.
