Apologies for those of you who have tried to use this recently without success - when the site moved the version of PHP changed, which bust the Generator.

Fortunately it's now working 100% again, so feel free to use it again. Many thanks to those of you who find this useful, and take the time to tell me.

This is Sar's Quake 3 config generator. Most of the options have been pre-selected for speed, which is why most people tweak their configs to begin with. But feel free to use any combination of choices you desire.

This is split into sections: Player settings, Graphics, Network, Audio, and Other. The icons throughout this page can be clicked on for a 640*480 larger view for any given option.
