I've been working on a online config editor for Quake Live, with the ability to create a custom config entirely in the browser.
https://quakeliveconfigeditor.com
It has the ability to:
Set binds for all binds found in QL ingame interface + more
Create custom weapon scripts
Create other custom scripts in a window module
Set 281 different Quake Live cvar / config settings
Search by cvar name and tags
Export and download a .cfg directly from the UI
Programmed-in dependencies for certain cvars, hiding and revealing dependent cvars when master toggles are enabled/disabled
This has been an entirely solo project, and I'm
seeking some community feedback and possibly some suggestions, especially for:
1) Missing cvars for important settings, especially for competitive play
2) UI/UX improvements, the overall look and feel of the site, small (or big) recommended improvements/adjustments in site design
3) Incorrect cvar descriptions or values, or to suggest including new selections or values
4) Overall, is this a successful project that could be useful for players? If not, I'd like to know why and what I could do to make it so.
5) Any broken aspects of the site, bugs or problems.
6) Any scripts recommended to include in the config editor, I can add new bind inputs to those custom scripts
Note: Current scripts I've included are...
Weapon aliases
Volume up/down
Enemy Colors (custom Head/Torso/Legs)
Enemy Model toggle
Direct Rocket Jump
If anyone has feedback, post it here! I'd love to hear from you. And I wouldn't mind working with another programmer or developer to expand. PS. Contributors will get credit on the page footer for their efforts.
Update 03/01/2026
Thanks to ProT in the forum responses, I've updated the app to v2. I worked very hard on his suggestions (give him thanks) to include:
1) Membership creation / Login including Google Auth or Discord Auth. You can also register with email address and then sync your Google/Discord to that email.
2) Importing configs now works. There are indicators for what settings were imported by the config.
3) Smart checking on duplicate binds. A Manual Edit mode for the CFG Preview,
4) 1080p design. Now the site is wider.
5) Importing configs populates imported binds as well as settings.
6) Cloud saving configs. Every user has 5 slots to save their configs and name them.
There may be more additions I made I just don't know off the top of my head.
One thing I'd like to hear from you guys is if I'm missing any recommended settings to add (or binds). I tried including all the major ones, but what happens here is when you import a setting that's not found in one of my categories, it gets pushed to the bottom under // Uncategorized settings and scripts.
Thanks ESR.

he has unbanned people when i've asked nicely, after the extremely infamous person banned was convincingly apologetic and promised to not misbehave ever again (he misbehaved again, and got banned again, and i didn't ever ask again on his behalf [it was a bit of an experiment for me to see what would happen]).
he sat in on an interview for esr in 2010.
he gave me premium keys for quakelive back when i was planning a tournament for esr that, unfortunately, fell through due to some interesting behind-the-scenes admin drama involving a couple of well-known personalities in the general quake community.
he has always been respectful and nice in conversations with me, even though i call him stinkhair and mock quake players in general; even though i've been banned from the quake live irc channel more times than i can recall for such dastardly deeds as mocking death, abusing white-knight players like picklelover13, and generally playing the role of internet bastard in moments of extreme boredom.
i get the sense that many esr users don't empathize with his position, or feel as though they have better answers to what they propose are problems for quake, or something along those lines. i get the impression that these people are the kinds of people who, like anxious small dogs, invent problems in order to have something to pay attention to other than the soul-sucking loneliness they feel when their owners leave their site for more than a few minutes.
i have a lot of love for syncerror, and for id software, even if it is fun to make fun of people, and even if my sense of humor is crass and objectionable. i want the new quake champions to be a great success, celebrated the same way the recent doom was, for a great integration of modern convenience and classical punishment.
