Renewed Quake Live config generator

April 29, 2009 2 comments Article

Some things about the existing config generator could use some improvement (such as it being crammed into a small column) so I decided to renew it and at the same time make it even more userfriendly by adding a couple of features:

  • Preview weapon style images (due long time)
  • A keyboard that maps your bind layout and allows you to drag/drop to bind keys to input fields. Check it out!
  • Expanded the rail options (also have a look at the Rail settings post I made.)
  • Generate a subset of values like only controls or only graphical settings

Read the full changelog.

It’s still at the same location – http://www.holysh1t.net/quake-live-config-generator/ – so you don’t need to change any bookmarks or browser history to visit it. Also available via Resources in the menu or through the hotlink at the top of every page on this website.

Hope you like it!

    Very nicely done =)
    The new features are very valuable .. especially the keyboard and the option to chose between a gfx/control/regular config.

    The only thing that bothers me a bit is the fact that it takes so long for the different tabs to load (using the sliding effect).

    Try another browser but Firefox. I don’t know why but Fx is slow as hell in scrolling.
    I’m still trying to find out why it’s so slow for Fx, all others (even IE yes) scroll it within 2 seconds from “player” to “generate” (for me) and Fx takes 4 which is unacceptable.

    Weird thing is that the same scriptbase is used to hide/show the keyboard and that’s very fluent. I think Fx has trouble handling a 9000 pixel wide semi-hidden DIV :s

    If I don’t find a fix I might with a browserdetect command eliminate and do instant-to-target-tab. Only 3 lines of code.
