What are you trying to do? I would suggest www.levels4you.com for mods and media.

Foe · 27-July-06, 08:12 PM

First you need to download the Q4 SDK. Then to make mods you will have to do tutorials to learn the process for making mods. And of course you are speaking ogame mods, not cheat mods.

First, what kind of mod do you want to make? Do you want to make a complete game mod, a weapons mod or sound mod?

Second, do you have the SDK installed? Open it up and look around to become a bit familiar with the interface.

Third, do you have an application that will open and compress .pk4 files?

I have Sdk I cant open pk4 fles

Foe · 29-July-06, 07:30 PM

You need to get an application that will open and compress .pk4. Simply search on Google and get one installed.

I can find files but their meant for doom 3 will that work?

Foe · 29-July-06, 10:30 PM

Yes. There is an app called ZipZag, get that.

Before I answer anything else, what is it you want to do? Please be specific.

I have a trial version of zipzag how do I use it
I want to make the nailgun shoot shotgun shells and make the smg do 1000 damage

Foe · 30-July-06, 11:00 AM

Open up the .pk4 files with Zipzag and look into the various folders. Make sure you do not alter the folders in your game files. You will need to create a new directory to make the mod in so you do not corrupt your original game files. If you do that you will be kicked or banned by Punkbuster.

Then you will need to follow this tutorial, to mod your weapons.

"Create this is a sub-directory of your Quake 4 installation" what do they mean, how do you do this

Foe · 30-July-06, 06:23 PM

If you don't know how to create folders on your PC, then you most certainly will not be able to create or alter weapon tables.

I do not mind helping you, but you have to meet me half way with some effort..

I know how to make folders I just need to know where to put it

Foe · 30-July-06, 08:14 PM

In the link I posted it says exactly how to create the directory/folders.

First, we'll setup our ModDirectory. A good way to start is to copy over the files we'll be editing. This gives us a good base to work off.

Create a Quake 4\instagib directory. Create this is a sub-directory of your Quake 4 installation. This will be our ModDirectory.
Create sub-directories that will hold our mod's def files
1. Quake4\instagib\def
2. Quake4\instagib\def\weapons
Open Quake4\baseq4\pak001.pk4
